Source: academia.edu: A Textual and Intertextual Study of the MudrārākṣasaPuṣpacatvara (पुष्पचत्वर) refers to the “flower-market” (more accurately “flower corner”) is actually Prakrit pupphacattara rather than Sanskrit puṣpacatvara, and its attestation is uncertain. Candanadāsa is spoken of as living at the puṣpa-catvara, the ‘flower-market’. And in that same act Rākṣasa … resorts to the old garden of King Nanda on the outskirts of Pāṭaliputra. The locality called pupphacattara is probably no more than a detail added by the author to lend further realism to his piece. Any Indian town, ancient or modern, might have a spot called “flower corner”, particularly a town nicknamed “Blossomville”.
