I don't have access to a Sanskrit dictionary here, but could
someone give me other examples of sanskrit phrases with the 
usage of manda in the meaning of "sannani" and udaramu in the 
meaning of "naDumu" ?

Also, I vaugely remember reading a story of a frog in connection 
with the wife of raavaNa and perhaps also an explanation there for 
the name manDOdari. Has anyone details ? (I know, I know, maNDooka 
means frog, but not manDa!)

Regards,
Suresh.
