If a lighting strike ~50ft distance from you. Lightning create potential gradient around its strike point. Voltage will be peak at the strike point and it will start reduce from that point. The electric current will start flowing under the earth. 2/n
If you stand above the ground keeping your two legs apart, it is equal to applying voltage between your two leg. The potential between your legs will make current flow through your body (e.g. current flow from ground to your left leg, hip, right leg then back to the ground), 3/10

Tamil name in Latin script: Kodikkaipuli
Literal Translation: Creeper fruit(unripe) Tamarind
