Thus, we are told that Bāvarī had his hermitage in Dakkhiṇāpatha territory, midway between the kingdoms of Assaka and Aḷaka.¹ Elsewhere² the name is coupled with Avanti as Avantidakkhiṇāpatha and seems to refer, but more vaguely, to the same limited district. - [Previous: v1.c23.60](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c23.60) - [Next: v1.c23.62](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c23.62) - [Up: v1.c23](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c23) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c23.61](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c23.61) · Pramāṇa
