The Dynasties of the Kanarese Districts of the Bombay Presidency from the Earliest Historical Times to the Musalman Conquest c7.s6.130

Villages with Musalmán names are often met with, of the origin of which nothing can be heard. Two small districts close to Dábhol retain the names they received from the Musalmáns, though everywhere else the ancient Hindu names of pránts and tarafs have been preserved. These are Haveli Jafarabad containing thirty-seven villages, and Haveli Ahmadabad containing twenty-one, and the probability is that when Dábhol was first taken by the Musalmáns these villages were assigned for the support of the governor and his establishment.
