Paḍigaha (पडिगह) is the name of a village mentioned in the “Bhadāna grant of Aparājita”. Paḍigaha is mentioned in the present grant as marking the northern boundary of the donated village Bhādāna.

These copper plates (mentioning Paḍigaha) were found in 1881 with the headman of Bhere, a village about ten miles north of Bhivaṇḍī, the chief town of the Bhivaṇḍī tālukā of the Thāṇā District in the Mahārāṣṭra State. The grant was made at Sthānaka on the occasion of the Karkaṭa saṅkrānti (called) Dakṣiṇāyana, which occurred on the fourth tithi of the dark fortnight of Āṣāḍha in the expired Śaka year 919, when the cyclic year was Hemlamba.
