Dear List Members,

 

I am working on a 200 year old Sanskrit manuscript of a text

called Vedavicaara. This particular manuscript was copied by a

Marathi pundit named Hari Vishnu Palnitkar. He describes himself

as "mohapaatainvaasin", resident of Mohapaata. From other references

to this individual in Marathi documents, we know that he came from

the vicinity of the town of Panwel near Bombay. I am wondering about

the identity of Mohapaata, obviously a Sanskritization of a local

village or town name. Any suggestions on what the original Marathi

place name might be? Thanks.
