Nāgījoḍāka (नागीजोडाक) or Nāgījoḍākakṣetra is a place-name classified as a kṣetra and mentioned in the Gupta inscription No. 52. The Gupta empire (r. 3rd-century CE), founded by Śrī Gupta, covered much of ancient India and embraced the Dharmic religions such as Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism. The word Nāgī seems to be a feminine name of the Nāga tribe meaning simply ‘a nāga woman’. The word Joḍāka means a Yugma (two). So the whole will literally mean ‘the field of two Nāgīs’.
