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)
