Gaurī means ‘a virgin’ and varāṭikā is used primarily in the sense of varāṭa or varāṭaka, ‘a cowrie-shell’, and secondarily in that of ‘money’. In the records of Mithilā, gaurī-varāṭikā means ‘money to be paid to the master of a slave girl of marriageable age by the master of her bridegroom’. See JNSI, Vol. XVI, pp. 264 ff. Note: gaurī-varāṭikā is defined in the “Indian epigraphical glossary” as it can be found on ancient inscriptions commonly written in Sanskrit, Prakrit or Dravidian languages.
The history of India traces the identification of countries, villages, towns and other regions of India, as well as mythology, zoology, royal dynasties, rulers, tribes, local festivities and traditions and regional languages.
