Badarî—The O-cha-li of Hiuen Tsiang. It has been identified by Cunningham (Anc. Geo., p. 494) with Edar in the province of Gujarât; it was, according to him, Sauvîra of the Pauranic period. According to the Brihat-jyotishârṇava, Edar is a corruption of Ilvadurga. It is situated on a river called Hiranyanadî. The name of Badarî is mentioned in the Dhavala inscription at Vasantagaḍ near Mount Abu (JASB., 1841, p. 821).
