v1.c7.168

² [Pātel (Patell) appears to be a later form of Pattakīl, and to be derived from Sanskrit patta and Marāthi pāt, ‘a roll or register.’ ‘Putkeels’ appear as the village headmen in an account of the early Rājpūt dynasties in the Rāsmāla (Forbes). In the time of the Silāhāras of the north Konkan (A.D. 810–1260) there were Pattakīls. Gaora (Gauda) is the Kanarese word Gāvuda from ‘gav,’ i.e. ‘grāma,’ a village. The corresponding Kanarese word for Kulkarni is Shānbhōg.]
