INSCRIPTIONS OF THE SILAHARAS OF NORTH KONKAN
..The following table gives the recorded information about the donees of the present grant:
.. As the findspot of the grant is not known, it is very difficult to identify the localities mentioned in it. No attempt in this direction was made by Upadhyaya. The mention of the Mandaraja vishaya, however, affords a clue. As shown before, this vishaya comprised the territory in the vicinity of Divē Āgar. The agrahāra of Brahmapurī, where the Brāhmaṇa donees were residing, may now be represented by the village of Brāhmaṇaghar in the adjoining tālukā of Māṇgaōn of the Kōlābā District. The donated village, the name of which is rather indistinct, cannot be identified, but Pāṇīvāḍa, one of its boundary villages, may be identical with Pāṇadarē in the neighbouring mahāl of Mhasālā. The other villages mentioned in the present grant cannot be identified. Of the other localities, Gauḍa is well known as the name of North and West Bengal, and Lāṭa as that of Central and Southern Gujarāt. Bhṛigukachchha is, of course, Broach. Muñjasthāna may have been some place founded by the famous Paramāra king Muñja. Perhaps, it is identical with modern Mujpur, south of Rādhanpur in Gujarat. TEXT [1]
