It has been translated by Professor Pāthak as "religious centre"; and Professor Kielhorn has written an article suggesting that it was something like a Brahmapuri. The name occurs in Sk 176, where Mayūraśarmma, on going to the Pallava capital for completing his studies, is said to have frequented every \*ghaṭika\*. In Si 23 of 1167 the Noṇambēśvara temple is said to be the great \*ghaṭika-sthāna\* of the city of Henjeṛu. On the other hand, Sk 197 of 1182 describes \*ghaṭika-sthānas\* as supports to \*dharmma\* and mines for enjoyment (\*bhōga\*). Cn 178 of 1442 contains the statement that a \*ghaṭika\* was established in a certain place "in accordance with the saying (or directions) of Uttanka in the Sāma-vēda." - [Previous: c14.17](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.rice-1909.c14.17) - [Next: c14.19](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.rice-1909.c14.19) - [Up: c14](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.rice-1909.c14) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.rice-1909.c14.18](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.rice-1909.c14.18) · Pramāṇa
