Vyāsapura is another name of Bāsavura according to one inscription of 1121 A.D. Another inscription explains that this place got its name because the great Vyāsa, the author of Mahābhārata, performed his penance here. Bāsavura (identical with modern Bāsur) was the headquarters of the Bāsavura-140 administrative division, which consisted of hundred and forty villages.
