Mahārāṣṭra.—The Mahārāṣṭra country or Mo-ho-la-cha is the Deccan in the narrowest sense (S.I.I., I, p. 113, f.n. 3). Mahārāṣṭra is really the country watered by the upper Godāvarī and that lying between this river and the Kṛṣṇā. According to the Aihole Inscription there are three divisions in it, each called Mahārāṣṭraka in the 7th century A.D. (I.A., XXII, 1893, p. 184).
