Tamil term or phrase: குமதம்
Greetings,

Furthermore, Annamalai’s Colloquial Tamil (p. 132) also gives குமதம் as the name of a weekly magazine. Again, I can't find a definition for this word anywhere, and imagine that if is it indeed the name of a magazine it must have some meaning.

Best wishes and many thanks,

Explanation:
Actually the popular weekly magazine name is "குமுதம்" not "குமதம்"
குமுதம் என்றால் தாமரை மலர் என்று பொருள.
