Daṇḍakārañña untranslated

Daṇḍakārañña. The forest which overgrew Kaliṅga when it was laid waste through the wickedness of King Daṇḍakī (q.v.) (MN.i.378; Mil.130).

It was on the banks of the Godhāvarī and, with the Viñjhāṭavi, separated the Majjhimadesa from the Dakkhiṇāpatha. It probably comprised all the forests from Bundelkhand to the river Krishna.
