Hi Dinesh ji, The name Anaparuga doesn't sound like a Tamil name to me.
I found another Tamil name, "Parattan kodi", recorded for the plant in this paper <https://www.researchgate.net/publication/43772085_Herbal_medicines_for_wound_healing_among_tribal_people_in_Southern_India_Ethnobotanical_and_Scientific_evidences> but it's probably a modified spoken version of "Paraiottan" that we discussed earlier (plus kodi கொடி means climber).
