Tamil term or phrase: ஆனந்த விகடன்
Greetings,

Yet another magazine name in Annamalai’s Colloquial Tamil (p. 132) is ஆனந்த விகடன். I can't find a definition for this expression as a whole, but விகடன் is defined by agarathi.com as “proud, haughty person / enemy”, which is a strange name for a magazine - no doubt the key to the meaning is in the word ஆனந்த!
