According to my Hindi dictionary (McGregor), खड़ग is a Sanskrit loan-word meaning a kind of sword or scimitar.

खांडा (with nasalization) is an Awadhi word meaning a double-edged sword or cleaver.

अठारह means eighteen. I'm surprised that wasn't in your dictionary.

भार means weight or responsibility. (ditto)

बनस्पति I couldn't find in the dictionary, but it has an entry on Hindi Wikipedia, where it seems to be the name of a village in the state of Bihar.

According to my Oxford Hindi-English Dictionary, the word for "sword, scimitar" is खड्ग, not खड़ग.

My Dictionary gives खड़ग as a variant of खड्ग

बनस्पति I'm not sure, but the very similar वनस्पति is either 'plants' or slang for ersatz butter, which might help you? (I don't know the context for your words, or I could say more.)
