C.Swami Sri Desikan has drawn up an elaborate list of vegetables / products

that should not be eaten. We give below the Tamil and popular and / or

botanical names of these for general guidance.

 

But, please do not be put off by this list. He has given another list of

exceptions and relaxations under which even some of the prohibited items could

be consumed as also yet another list of items that can be consumed freely

without restrictions. {Vide Sections (D) and (E)}

TAMIL NAME POPULAR AND/OR BOTANICAL NAME

Botanical specialists. If, in spite of this, there are any errors, the same
