The Dynasties of the Kanarese Districts of the Bombay Presidency from the Earliest Historical Times to the Musalman Conquest c7.s9.177

Among the minor results of the loose system of government that prevailed, may be mentioned the frequent changes in the stations of mámlatdárs, of which the following is an instance. Nasrápur was originally the head-quarters of the district about Karjat, but on a Devrukhi Bráhman getting the farm of the district he removed his office to Dahivali close to Karjat, where there was a large settlement of Devrukhis. But about 1811 a Chitpávan became farmer or mámlatdár, and a Devrukhi village not been agreeable to him he removed his head-quarters to Kadva. Places may often be found in tolerable proximity, which have at one time or other been the head-quarters of a district, and this may probably often be accounted for by reasons similar to the above.
