History
Vasudev Vishnu Mirashi [5] mentions that Poona Plates of Prabhavatigupta were issued from Nandivardhana (नान्दिवर्द्धन) by Prabhavatigupta (प्रभावतीगुप्त), the chief queen of the Vakataka Maharaja Rudrasena (II) and mother of the Yuvarāja Divākarasena (दिवाकरसेन). She was then acting as Regent for her minor son. The plates record the grant of the village Danguna (दंगुण). ...The donated village Danguna (दंगुण) was situated in the Supratishṭha āhāra (सुप्रतिष्ठाहार), and lay to the east of Vilavaṇaka (विलवणक), to the south of Śirshagrama (शीर्षग्राम)(Śirīshagrama ?), to the west of Kadapiñjana (कदापिन्जन) and to the north of Sidivivaraka (सिदिविवरक) (?).
