Vāyigrāma (वायिग्राम) is a place-name classified as a grāma and 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. Vāyigrāma has been identified with Baigram in the Bogra (Bagura) district of Bengal, now in Pakistan. In Inscription No. 44two localities named Trivṛtā and Śrīgohālī are mentioned as included in Vaigrāma. Vāyi is a Prakritic form of vāyu meaning air or wind and literally Vāyigrāma means ‘a village full of air’. We also know of a town named as Vāyupura.
