Try something like:

Map:

mapping load "short name","long name" where Occurance=2;

Load *, AutoNumber(RecNo(),"short name") as Occurance

Inline [     "short name","long name"

                KA,karnataka

                KA,karnataka1

                TN,Tamilnadu

               TN,Tamilnadu1

               AP,Andhra pradesh

               AP,Andhrapradesh1];

Load

  ApplyMap('Map',"name") as Mapped

Inline [

name

KA

TN

AP

]

Keep in mind that a mapping table only stores a single translation value (from the 2nd column) per distinct index value (1st column). There simply are no two values in your mapping table for [short name]=KA.

BTW for every distinct value in the first column, a mapping table only keeps the first translation value loaded ! All subsequent "corrections" to a mapping table entry will be ignored. Only the new values will be added.
