Śamīpadraka (शमीपद्रक).—Śamīpadraka is, as shown by Dr. D. R. Bhandarkar, identical with the village of the same name which was given away by the Navsāri Plates of Karka-Suvarnavarṣa, for two of the surrounding villages Gōlikā and Dhāhaddha are the same in both the grants. In Karka’s grant the village is said to be situated in the country between the Mahi and the Narmadā. From the boundary villages mentioned in it, Śamīpadraka seems to be identical with Sōndārn, seven miles south-west of Kārwān and about twelve miles north of the Narmadā.
