South Indian Inscriptions |
INSCRIPTIONS OF THE MAHARAJAS OF VALKA royal capital at the time, may be identical with Vāghlī, about 6 miles north by east of Chalisgaon in the East Khandesh District, on the Bombay-Bhusawal line of the G.I.P. Railway. It is an old place as it contains some ancient temples and old Sanskrit inscriptions.1 One of these inscriptions2 in three parts, edited by Dr. Kielhorn, shows that Vāghlī became afterwards the capital of a feudatory royal family which originally hailed from Valabhī in Kathiawad, and later on owed allegiance to the Yādavas of Khandesh.3 Nagarikā, the head-quarters of the territorial division (pathaka) named after it, may be identical with Nagpur Dēvlā, about 10 miles north-east of Vāghlī, which also contains an old Hēmādpanti temple of Mahādēva.4 Finally, Valmika-tallavātaka may be Talwād khurd, about 15 miles north by west of Nagar Dēvlā.5
