Praḍāmāra (प्रडामार) is a place-name classified as a nauyoga 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. Praḍāmāra has also been described as a nauyoga. The meaning of Praḍāmāra is difficult to explain. It seems to be the Sanskritised form of the Prakrit Paḍāmāra, i.e. a place where clothes or tents are found in abundance or it may signify “a harbour of pāla-boats”.
