The Dynasties of the Kanarese Districts of the Bombay Presidency from the Earliest Historical Times to the Musalman Conquest c8.s3.219

Communication between the several provinces does not appear to have been very difficult. Benefactions of persons residing in Vaijayantî or Banavâsî, and Sorparaka or Supârâ, are recorded in the cave at Kârli; of a Nâsik merchant at Beḍsâ; of some inhabitants of Bharukachchha and Kalyân at Junnar; of natives of Northern India and Dâttâmitrî, which I have elsewhere shown was situated in Lower Sindh, at Nâsik; and of an iron-monger of Karahâkaḍa or Karhâd at Kuḍem. On the other hand, gifts of natives of Nâsik and Karhâd are recorded on the stûpa at Bharhut which lies midway between Jabalpur and Allâhâbâd.¹ Unless there were frequent communications between these places, it is not possible that the natives of one should make religious endowments at another.
