SANJAN PLATES OF BUDDHAVARASA.
the present Kelve, at 19° 36' N. and 72° 44' E., close to Mahim. Avaranta is evidently the same as Aparanta, the Northern Konkan. The Twelve-village District and Matṛidinnagrama would, if we consider that the northern and western limits are the sea-shore, have to be looked for in the country to the west of the river Amba; and it is possible that Mätṛidinna is a semi-Sanskrit form of the village name which is now Mandva.
I am not able to interpret the whole grant to my own satisfaction. The accompanying plate has been prepared from impressions which I owe to the kindness of Mr. Cousens.
