Khāṭāpāra (खाटापार) or Khādāpāra is a place-name classified as a viṣaya 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. Khāṭāpāra-viṣaya may be assigned to the Puṇḍravardhana-bhukti. The name of the district cannot be read with certainty. Sen suggests three readings: Mahā-Khushāpāra, Khādāpāra (Khāṭāpāra), or Khusaspāra. Banerji gives the reading ‘Mahā-khuṣāpāra’.
