EPIGRAPHIA INDICA.
[VoL. Xxv.
Kshēmagiraka, Annagrama and Kallivana. The first six are stated to be vishayas or territorial divisions. The approximate situation of Göparashtra can be known from the mention in the Nirpan plates referred to above, of a village named Balēgrāma as situated in the Göparāshtra-vishaya. Balēgrama is no doubt to be identified with modern Belgaum-Taralha in the Igatpuri Taluka of the Năsik District. Jayapura, where the temple of Nārāyaṇa was situated,
may be Jarvad Budrukh, 10 miles south-west of Anjaneri. Jayagrāma may be Jaikheda in the Dindori Taluka. Ambé-Avangana is Ambegaon, about 23 miles north-west of Nasik; Kalahaka may be Kokangaon, 2 miles south-east of Jaiklieda and Mradgāhitaka, Maganpara, 5_miles north-west of Jaikheda. Kallivana is undoubtedly Kalran in the Nasik District, which is also mentioned in some other grants of the period.
The localities mentioned in grant Bare Samagiripattana, Chandrapuri, Ambayapallikā, Savāņēyapallikā, Maurāyapallikā and Kaṁsāripallikā, Samagiripattana cannot now be traced, but it was probably situated near Chandrapuri with which it is coupled in the present grant, and which is probably identical with Chandrachi Met, 12 miles south-west of Anjaneri. Savāņāyapallikā may be Samundi, 5 miles north-east and Kaṁsāripallikā may be Karholi or Karohavadi, 6 and 7 iniles respectively east of Chandrachi Met. Maurēyapallikā may be Morwadi, 3 miles south-west of Nāsik.
