a city of ancient India, the metropolis of a large district called Ariaca, which comprehended the greatest part of the Subah of Aurangabad, and the southern part of Concan. Arrian says, that it was situated about ten days' journey to the eastward of Pultanah; which, according to the rate of travelling in that country with loaded carts, might be about 100 British miles. This fixes its situation at Deoghir, a place of great antiquity, and famous through all India on account of the pagodas of Eloua. It is now called Douletabad.
