Shed in Malayalam
For shedding in the sense of letting something fall, tears, leaves, petals, Malayalam uses പൊഴിയുക (pozhiyuka), which also covers pouring down and oozing. A tree that sheds its leaves is more often described with കൊഴിയുക (kozhiyuka), where the leaves themselves do the falling.
Shower, pour down, ooze, shed.
മരത്തിൽ നിന്ന് പൂക്കൾ പൊഴിഞ്ഞു വീണു.
