279). But, in my humble opinion, this identification is far 
from satisfactory. It is not established by means of the identi- 
fication of any surrounding villages ; nor by the mention of this 
name in any one of the inscriptions in or about Anand. It is 
only the correspondence of sound that is in favour of this view. 
On the other hand, the identification of Anandapura with Vad- 
nagar is based, in my humble opinion, on irrefragable evidence. 
The Vadnagar pratasti of the reign of Kumarapala distinctly 
makes mention of the town by the name of Anandapura and 
speaks of it as containing a settlement of Brahmanas called 
Nagara (Ep. Ind., i, pp. 295, 299 and 303). This is quite in 
keeping with the tradition current among Nagar Brahmanas 
that their original seat was Vadnagar (Gujarat Population in 
the Gazetteer of the Bombay Presidency, vol. ix, pt. i, p. 13). 
Again, the Alina charters of A.D. 649 and 656 were issued to 
the same grantee who is described in the first as originally of 
Anarttapura and in the second as originally of Anandapura 
nd. Ant., vii, 75 and 79). This means that Anandapura was 
b 
the reign of Rané Kumbha, for which I am indebted to the 
kindness of Pandit Gaurishankar Ojha :— Sera
