Enclopedia of Rudra Sampradayam Shri Ratnamanirao believes that the Saurashtrians had not migrated from Saurashtra at the time of the invasion of Somnath by Gazni in 1024 A.D; according to him, they left this region when Allauddin invaded Gujarat and Saurashtra at the end of the thirteenth century. The name ‘Saurashtra’ is meaningful, but taking into consideration the general process of naming the country after the names of the people inhabiting it, some scholars believe that ‘Surattha’ and ‘Maharattha’ are original names and ‘Saurasthtra’ and ‘Maharashtra’ are their Sansrized forms. Saurashtra may be explained as the Su-rand#257;shtra (‘a good nation’); but it is more probable that ‘Saurashtra’ might be a Sanskritisation of ‘Soratha’. www.audarya-fellowship.com /showflat/cat/hinduism/71329/3/collapsed/5/o/2
