[INDOLOGY] On identifying the tradition or a place called Dulīṇahaṭṭa

[AJ Misra]

Dear all,

I came across the following verse in the colophon of an astronomical text
(the *Siddhāntasindhu* of Nityānanda written in the early 1630s) that I am
currently reading. In it, Nityānanda describes the first member of his
family (resident in Indrapuri) as


*tasyāṃ vasan gauḍakulaprasūto 'nuśāsanenāpi dulīṇahaṭṭaḥ |īcchābhidho
mudgalagotrajanmā babhūva pūrvaṃ sutapā manīṣī ||*

Can anyone shed light on the word *dulīṇahaṭṭa*? Is this a known tradition
among the Gauḍa Brahmins or is it a place (perhaps, the marketplace of
Dulīna, in modern-day Jhajhar, Haryana?) I should add that
Nityānanda mentions Indrapurī (Delhi) in the vicinity of Kurukṣetra in the
immediately preceding verse.

Many thanks!

Best,
AJ
