Bharukaccha—(modern Broach) S 51 10 (the inhabitants of Bharukaccha brought as presents to the Pāṇḍavas horses from Gāndhāra i. e. the country about Peshawar). Ptolemy and the Periplus call it Barygaza. It was called Bhṛgupura and Bhṛgu-kaccha also (the latter in SK, Kāśīkhaṇḍa 6.25). A Valabhī copperplate of Dharasena IV in Valabhī samvat 330 (648-9 A.
