Prince Vijaya
(Sanskrit) and (Prakrit) are the ancient names of the Rarh region. Other variations of the name that appear in the ancient Jain literature include Rarha, Lara, and Rara. The Sri Lankan Buddhist chronicles such as "Dipavamsa" and "Mahavamsa" state that the legendary Prince Vijaya came from a region called Lāla, which is identified with Rāḍha by several scholars.
