GADIVORE GRANT OF SHASHTHADEVA (II), KALI YEAR 4357
107
The geographical names occurring in the inscription are : Konkana of which Jayakasin II was the ruler; Gökarna, the seat of the deity Mahābalēsvara ; Gädivore, the gift village ; Ajjagāve-kampana in which the gift village was situated ; and Panasa-dosa in which Ajjagavekampaņa was included. Konkaņa, also called Koukaņa-900 in some records of the Kadambas of Goa, is usually identified with the area corresponding to the present territory of Goa on the west coast. Gökarna is the well-known place of pilgrimage in the North Kanara District of Mysore State. Panasa-dēša is the same as Palasige (or Palāśikā)-12,000, the headquarters of which was the modern Halsi in the Khanapur Taluk of the Belgaum District. Kampana is a group or circle of villages and is a smaller division than desa or vishaya. Ajjagāve may be identified with modern Ajgaon, situated on the sea coast about 25 miles north of Panjim, the capital of the Portuguese territory of Goa and about 65 miles north-west of Halsi. I am unable to identify the gift-village Gādivore.
