Nāgāmbā (नागाम्बा) is the name of a village mentioned as lying on the southern boundaries of Cāvināra, according to the “Ṭhāṇā plates of Arikesarin”.—Nāgāmbā, which bounded it on the south, may be Nāgāva, which lies 1.60 km. to the south. The first donated village Cāvināra is probably identical with Cāvindre, about 3.20 km. north of Bhivaṇḍī, the chief place of the Bhivaṇḍī tālukā of the Ṭhāṇā District.

These copper plates (mentioning Nāgāmbā) were found in digging for some works at the Fort of Tanna (Ṭhāṇā) the capital of Salset. The object of the present plates was to record the grant, by the Śilāhāra king Arikesarin, of three villages in the Vatsarāja-viṣaya to the family priest and teacher Tikkapaiya on the occasion of a lunar eclipse which occurred on the fifteenth tithi of the bright fortnight of Kārttika in the Śaka year 939.
