bharukaccha

A seaport in the country of Bharu. It is identical with Barygaza of Ptolemy and the Periplus of the Erythrean Sea. Bharukaccha is the modern Broach in Kathiawar. The people of Bharukaccha are called Bharukacchakā. There is story of a monk of Bharukaccha who having lain with a woman in his dream while on the road to Bharukaccha, thought he was guilty of a pārājika offence. But Upāli ruled that he was blameless.
