Tāla fruit (多羅果: a Sanskrit word. Its tree resembles a palmetto, standing erect and towering high. The large ones have several white flowers that are as large as cupped hands. When the fruit ripens, it becomes red, shaped like a pomegranate. Only after a hundred years do flowers and fruits appear. The old translation jutuo [具多] is an error).
