Paṭālika (पटालिक) refers to “plenty of cloths”, mentioned in verse 3.34 of the Aṣṭāṅgahṛdayasaṃhitā (Sūtrasthāna) by Vāgbhaṭa.—Accordingly, “[...] In groves in which the hot-rayed one is darkened by cloud-grazing huge Sal trees and Palmyra palms, (and which are) profuse in bunches of grapes clinging to spring-flowers in a rest-house in which (are found) plenty of cloths [viz., paṭālika] besprinkled with fragrant cold water, [...]”.

Note: Paṭālika (“plenty of cloths”) has been left untranslated, evidently for lack of space, and its attribute sicyamāna joined to kāyamāna instead.

Jainism is an Indian religion of Dharma whose doctrine revolves around harmlessness (ahimsa) towards every living being.

India history and geography

Source: archive.org: Geography in Ancient Indian inscriptions

Pāṭalikā (पाटलिका) is a word denoting a ‘village’ or ‘hamlet’ and can be seen as a synonym for grāma, often used in inscriptions.—Terms such as pāṭalikā are in many cases, associated with the names of the villages so as to become the ending part of the different place-names. Inscriptions throw light on the location of the villages in different ways. Firstly, they communicate us an idea about the country, the division and the sub-division to which these villages belonged. Secondly, the inscriptions provide information regarding theboundaries of the donated villages.
