Etymology of Karnataka
Karnataka is an Indian state. Several etymologies have been suggested for the name Karnataka. The region was popularly referred to as 'Karnata desa' in Indian history. However, historically, the names ''Karnatak'' or ''Carnatic'' have been misapplied to refer to the regions in or beyond the Western Ghats (Kodagu and Kerala) as well as to a region in present-day Andhra Pradesh (Telangana).〔(Imperial Gazetteer2 of India, Volume 9, page 302 - Imperial Gazetteer of India - Digital South Asia Library )〕 The other accepted derivative comes from the Kannada words ''karu'' and ''nādu'' meaning ''elevated land'', or from the Kannada words ''kal'' and ''nādu'' meaning ''rock country'', referring to the rocky terrain of the state.
==References from Hindu texts==
The earliest known references to ''Karnataka'' are found in the ''Sabha Parva'' and the ''Bhishma Parva'' of Mahabharata, an ancient Indian epic.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title='Antiquity of Karnataka' - article from OurKarnataka.com Portal )〕 The ''Matsya Purana'', ''Skanda Purana'', ''Markandeya Purana'' and the ''Bhagavata Purana'' also make references to the name ''Karnata''.
In Canto 5 - Chapter 6 of the ''Bhagavata Purana'', ''Karnata'' is mentioned while narrating the life of Rishabhadeva. It is said in the ''Bhagavata'' that the Lord in Rishabhadeva's form ended his ''avatara'' in the ''Kutakachala'' hill in ''Karnata'' province. Kutakchala is a hill in present-day Karnataka near Kollur in the Western Ghats.〔(SRIMAD BHAGAVATAM: CANTO 5- CHAPTER 6 )〕〔(Srimad Bhagavatam Canto 5 Chapter 6 )〕
