An inscription from Dashapura/Mandasor records that an official at the court of the Aulikaras of Dashapura, named Daksha, excavated a well in memory of his deceased uncle, Abhayadatta, in 532 AD. The stepped well is not preserved intact, but a deep trench still remains that was until the 1970s was identified as Abhay-koop, or Abhaya’s well.
