Kumbhārī (कुम्भारी) is the name of a river mentioned in the “Bhadāna grant of Aparājita”. The river Kumbhārī, which flowed on the east, is still known by its ancient name. Kielhorn identified the great river Murulā with the Ulhāsa, but the latter flows at a distance of six miles. This identification seems, therefore, unlikely. The Murulā is more probably the river Bhatsāvī, which flows only about a mile south of Bhādāna and is joined by the Kumbhārī.

These copper plates (mentioning Kumbhārī) were found in 1881 with the headman of Bhere, a village about ten miles north of Bhivaṇḍī, the chief town of the Bhivaṇḍī tālukā of the Thāṇā District in the Mahārāṣṭra State. The grant was made at Sthānaka on the occasion of the Karkaṭa saṅkrānti (called) Dakṣiṇāyana, which occurred on the fourth tithi of the dark fortnight of Āṣāḍha in the expired Śaka year 919, when the cyclic year was Hemlamba.

The history of India traces the identification of countries, villages, towns and other regions of India, as well as mythology, zoology, royal dynasties, rulers, tribes, local festivities and traditions and regional languages. Ancient India enjoyed religious freedom and encourages the path of Dharma, a concept common to Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism.

context information

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
