On the face of it, *mahārāṣṭradharma* might indeed mean simply the *dharma* of the territory known as Mahārāṣṭra, the Maratha country. In a sense it may not be wrong to take *mahārāṣṭra* here as implying only this geographical area. But perhaps it might be considered more relevant and reasonable to take it as the name of a more extensive region. Here we have an instance of where “more is meant than meets the ear.” The item deserves a discussion.
