Aparanta
Aparanta, or Aparantaka (meaning "Western border") was a geographical region of ancient
Kutch, and Sindh, beside Konkan. However, historical records make it clear that the extent of Aparanta was much smaller.[3]
The Junagadh inscription of Rudradaman mentions that during
A.K. Warder, the Dharmaguptaka sect originated here.[6]
Aparanta is regarded as an umbrella term for Shurparakadesha for Konkan, to include in the North and Gomantaka in the south with the river Kundalika to serving as a dividing line in between the two.[7]
