:''This article is about the city. For the district, see Pabna District.'' Pabna ((ベンガル語:পাবনা) ''Pabna'') is a town in Rajshahi Division of Bangladesh and the administrative capital of eponymous Pabna District.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/437430/Pabna )〕 It is located on the north bank of Padma river (Ganges) and has a population of about 22,6050.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.pabna.gov.bd/node/97975 )〕 ==Name== * According to the historian Radharaman Saha, Pabna is named after Paboni, a branch of the Ganges. * Archeologist Cunningham wrote that the name came from "POTH", a totem folk who lived long ago in this region (Poundrabardhan). A survey map from 1850 depicts a Mouza (medium size village) named Padeh Pabna in the Nazirpur Pargana (pargana can be considered as a cluster of villages)〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.pabna.gov.bd/node/1231591 )〕 * Haraprasad Shastri, the renowned author and historian regarded the name Pabna as originating from Podubomba, a small feudal kingdom, which was established by a king named Shom, during the Pal Dynasty period. * Historian Durgadas Lahiri, in his book Prithibir Itihash, used a map from the ancient period where a village named Pabna can be seen. * A legend: There was a robber (like Robin Hood) named Pobana who lived here long ago. He became a legendary hero for his good deeds. People honored him by giving the name of his river Pabna. * Most probably, the name comes from the Persian word "PANMBAH", which means cotton. At one time, a number of inhabitants here were weavers. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pabna」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
