Pādāṇa (पादाण).—Pādāṇīya i.e. an inhabitant of Pādāṇa is mentioned in two Sanchi Stūpa inscriptions. Buhler identified the place Pādāṇa with Parana. Professor Raychaudhuri, however, suggests that Pādāṇa may represent the capital of the Aśmaka country, which was at a place styled Potali, Potana, Podana or Pauḍanya in literature, and which has been identified with Bodhan in Nizamabad district, Andhra Pradesh.
