Ჹ첹ṭa (भोजक�).—The capital of Vidarbha. Once Sahadeva, one of the Pāṇḍavas conquered this city. It was at this place that Śrī Kṛṣṇa defeated Rukmī, the brother of Rukmiṇ� at the time of Rukmiṇī’s Svayaṃvara. The original name of Ჹ첹ṭa was "Kuṇḍinapura". (Mahābhārata Sabhā Parva, Chapter 31 and Udyoga Parva, Chapter 158).

India history and geography

: Ancient Buddhist Texts: Geography of Early Buddhism

Ჹ첹ṭa (भोजक�) possibly corresponds with Bhoja: a locality situated in Dakkhiṇāpatha (Deccan) or “southern district� of ancient India, as recorded in the Pāli Buddhist texts (detailing the geography of ancient India as it was known in to Early Buddhism).—Bhoja coincides with Berar or ancient Vidarbha, and Chammaka, four miles south east of Elichpur in the Amaraoti District. In the Barhut inscriptions there is a reference to Ჹ첹ṭa. The Sabhāparva of the Great Epic mentions Ჹ첹ṭa and Ჹ첹ṭapura as two places in the south conquered by Sahadeva. If Ჹ첹ṭa be the same as Bhoja or Bhojya of the Purāṇas, then it must be a country of the Vindhya region.

The expression Daṇḍakyabhoja in the Brāhmaṇas may indicate that the Ჹ첹ṭa was either included within or within the reach of Daṇḍaka. It is clear from the Mahābhārata list that Ჹ첹ṭa (identical with Elichpur) was distinct from Ჹ첹ṭapura or Bhojapura, the second capital of Vidarbha (modern Berar). In the Khila Harivaṃsa (cf. Viṣṇu Purāṇa) Ჹ첹ṭa is expressly identified with Vidarbha.
