**Daṇḍakārañña.** The forest which overgrew **Kaliṅga** when it was laid waste through the wickedness of King **Daṇḍakī** (*q.v.*).¹ It was on the banks of the **Godāvarī** and, with the **Viñjhāṭavi**, separated the **Majjhima-desa** from the **Dakkhiṇāpatha**. It probably comprised all the forests from Bundelkhand to the river **Kṛṣṇā**.
