Proper name

IPA: /mɐ.ɦɑː.ɾɑːʂ.ʈɾɐ/ [Vedic], /mɐ.ɦɑːˈɾɑːʂ.ʈɾɐ/ [Classical-Sanskrit] Forms: mahārā́ṣṭra [romanization]
Etymology: Uncertain. Possibly from महा- (mahā-), combining form of महत् (mahat, “great”) + राष्ट्र (rāṣṭra, “nation, dominion; Rashtrakuta”), a dynasty that once ruled the area), a clan known as राष्ट्रिक (rāṣṭrika) (found in some of King Ashoka’s inscriptions) or रथ (ratha, “chariot”). Possibly, the original name was associated with the Sanskrit word for “nation” or “dominion” via folk etymology.
