Hopefully it is कालकसौंदा not कल्कसुन्दा
कसौंदा or कसौंदी is Hindi name of Cassia (Senna) sophera. What is the meaning of "Kal" in Bengali? Is it for black? Kasaunda is mentioned in famous writing of Malik Md. Jayesi. There are many villages in Chhattisgarh named as Kasaunda or Kasaundi. कोइ बिजौंर, करौंदा-जूरी । कोइ अमिली, कोइ महुअ, खजूरी ॥ काहू हरफारेवरि कसौंदा । कोइ अँवरा, कोइ राय-करौंदा ॥ Thanks for sharing.
