Aparanta
Aparanta, or Aparantaka (meaning "Western border") was a geographical region of ancient India, variously corresponding to the northern Konkan, northern Gujarat, Kathiawar, Kachch and Sindh.
The Junagadh inscription of Rudradaman mentions that during Ashoka's reign, a ''Yonaraja'' (literally; Ionian, or Greek, King), Tushaspa was the governor of Aparanta.〔Thapar R. (2001), '' and the Decline of the Mauryas'', Oxford University Press, New Delhi, ISBN 0-19-564445-X, p.128〕 A Buddhist text, the Mahavamsa states (xii.5) that at the conclusion of the Third Buddhist Council (c.250 BCE), a ''Yona'' (Greek) ''Thera'' (monk) Dhammarakkhita was sent here by the emperor Ashoka to preach Dhamma〔Thapar R. (2001), '' and the Decline of the Mauryas'', Oxford University Press, New Delhi, ISBN 0-19-564445-X, p.47〕 and 37,000 people embraced Buddhism due to his effort (''Mahavamsa'', xii.34-6). According to Buddhist scholar A.K. Warder, the Dharmaguptaka sect originated here.〔Indian Buddhism by A.K. Warder Motilal Banarsidass: 2000. ISBN 81-208-1741-9 pg 278()〕
Aparanta is regraded as an umbrella term for ''Shurparakadesha'' for Konkan, to include in the North and Gomantaka in the south with the river ''Kundalika'' to serving as a dividing line in between the two.
Aparanta is also the name of a book on goa titled "(Goa Aparnta - Land Beyond The End )". The book is a comprehensive insight into Goa and its origins.
