As Vatsayan is admittedly of 3rd century A. D. so the mention of Lat cannot go beyond his date. Besides, we have got concrete evidence to establish that the Country known to the Hindus as 'Anarta' included in it most part of South-Gujarat or Lat. The Southern Portion of South Gujarat or Lat was included in 'Aparant' better known as 'North-Konkan'. Some of the Puranas put another Country between 'Anarta' and 'A parant' as 'Parant'. So the boundry of ' Aparant' and Anarta' was a disputed one during the time of Puranas. But historical evidence proves that the demarcational line between Anrat and Aparant was the river Karbena. The name Karbena itself is a matter of dispute as various variants are found in historical writings ranging from 1st to 13th century, A.D.

Indian ancient-medieval period commences with the expedition of Alexander and the establishment of the great Mauryan empire of Magadha. The Mauryas were replaced by 'Kshatrapas' and they in turn by the Guptas. At the time of the disruption of the great Gupta empire, several principalities sprung up throughout India. As we are not at present concerned with other parts of India, we would only deal with the dynasties which were established in Aparant and Anarta. A Scion of the Mauryas established himself in Aparant (North-Konkan) and began to rule from Mangalpuri or Puri. The Gurjars established themselves at Bhinmal (Shrimal) and included in their territory the southern portion of Marwar and almost all North-Gujarat'i.e. most of Anarta. Probably a relation of the Bhinmal Gurjars established himself at Nandipur.
