Dhekkari.—The Rāmganj copperplate of Īśvaraghosa refers to Dhekkarī. Some have located Dhekkari and the river Jaṭodā on which Dhekkarī was situated, near Katwa in the Burdwan Division (see, for instance, Introduction to the Rāmacarita by H. P. Śāstrī, p. 14). According to others, both are located in the Goalpārā and Kāmarūpa districts of Assam (see, for instance, N. Vasu, Vaṅger Jātīya Itihāsa, pp. 250-51).
