Dāhiṇa (दाहिण) (Prakrit) (in Sanskrit: Dakṣiṇa) refers to the “southern (sea)”, according to Uddyotanasūri in his 8th-century Kuvalayamālā (a Prakrit Campū, similar to Kāvya poetry).—Page 157.2: The situation of Vijayāpurī is given as south sea coast (dāhiṇa-samudda-velā). Vijayāpurī was actually situated on the bank of Krishna a few miles above the sea coast upto a point the river was navigable to big ships which landed on docks. The distance from Ayodhyā to Vijayāpurī was mapped out in successive stages and covered in one month and three days (157.11).
