Ḍombila is the name of a village mentioned in the “Mahul stone inscription of Haripāladeva”. Ḍombila may be modern Ḍombivalī in the Kalyāṇ tālukā of the Ṭhāṇā District, a station on Bombay-Poona branch of the Central Railway. Accordingly, “Moreover, the orchard in Ḍombila is granted as a gift free from taxes to the venerable Govardhanabhaṭṭa”.

This stone inscription (mentioning Ḍombila) was found at Māhul near Trombay in 1958. It records the vyavasthā (regulation) laid down by the illustrious Haripāladeva in respect of the village Māhavala included in the viṣaya of Ṣaṭshaṣṭi.
