Political History of Ancient India, from the Accession of Parikshit to the Extinction of the Gupta Dynasty c9.s7.274

Pāvā was identified by Cunningham¹ with the village named Padaraona, 12 miles to the N.N.E. of Kasiā, and separated from it by the Bādhi Nala (identified with the ancient Kakutthā). Carlleyle, however, proposes to identify Pāvā with Fāzilpur, 10 miles S.E. of Kasiā and separated from it by the Kuku.² In the *Saṅgīti Suttanta* we have a reference to the Mote Hall of the Pāvā Mallas named Ubbhaṭaka.³
