Bhadrapuṣkarakagrāma (भद्रपुष्करकग्राम) or Bhadrapuṣkaraka is a place-name classified as a vana (forest) and mentioned in the Gupta inscriptions. The Gupta empire (r. 3rd-century CE), founded by Śrī Gupta, covered much of ancient India and embraced the Dharmic religions such as Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism. Bhadra means ‘good or auspicious and Puṣkara (modern Pokhara) means ‘a pond or lake’. So literally the name would mean “a village possessing an auspicious or good pond”. It has not so far been identified.
