completely off topic to this scholarly debte:
this word madhuparka seems to have a completely different meaning
in south india. i think it is some cloth (saree or dhothi, i cant
remember) used in a particular ritual in a marriage.
closest item that i can think of is panchaamrutham (with bananas
in molasses out)
