He then conquered Goa and seems to have made that his capital.¹ Jayantîpura is said to be another name for Banavâsî. In the Sabhâparvan of the Mahâbhârata, Banavâsî is spoken of as if it were the name of a country, and immediately after it, Jayantî is mentioned as a town.² If then Jayantî and Vaijayantî were two forms of the same name, Vaijayantî was probably the modern Banavâsî, or perhaps in consideration of the facts that the name of Jayantî occurs in an inscription at Kârli and also that the Greek geographers in mentioning the places of note on the coast could not have run at once from Jayagad to the southern limit of North Kânarâ, Vaijayantî may be identified with Vijayadurg. But these objections are not of very great weight. - [Previous: c8.s3.209](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c8.s3.209) - [Next: c8.s3.211](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c8.s3.211) - [Up: c8.s3](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c8.s3) ## Cites (1) - [Mahābhārata](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa) — Vyāsa, Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c8.s3.210](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c8.s3.210) · Pramāṇa
