The Udaypur (former Gwalior State, now in Madhya Pradesh) inscription of 1173 A.D. speaks of a village in Bhṛṅgārikā-catuḥṣaṭi-pathaka which formed a part of Bhāilasvāmi-mahādvādaśaka-maṇḍala.¹ It appears that the \*pathaka\* or subdistrict called ‘Bhṛṅgārikā 64’ consisted of sixty-four villages while the \*maṇḍala\* or district called ‘Bhailasvāmin great-12’ consisted of twelve subdistricts. The speciality of the second case has been indicated in the record by the introduction of the word \*mahān\* (great) prefixed to the number. - [Previous: c19.32](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.geography.sircar-1960.c19.32) - [Next: c19.34](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.geography.sircar-1960.c19.34) - [Up: c19](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.geography.sircar-1960.c19) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.geography.sircar-1960.c19.33](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.geography.sircar-1960.c19.33) · Pramāṇa
