³ Nāgapura (present Nāgpur) is found in an inscription of the 10th century. See Hira Lal's Inscriptions in the Central Provinces and Berar (2nd ed.), p. 10; E.I., Vol. V, 188. For the Nāgavaṁśīs of the 11th and later centuries, see his I.C.P.B., pp. 209-210 and references in that book (p. 196). Nagar-dhana, as pointed out above (§ 31A), is the ancient site of Nandi-vardhana, the town mentioned in the Poona plates of Prabhāvati Guptā, and in the Rashtrakūta inscription (Deoli plates). It is now called Nagar-dhana, i.e. "the Nāgas' Vardhana," where Nagar stands for Nāgar.
