Vishal is also a common adjective found in North and South Indian languages such as Hindi, Tamil, Marathi, Telugu and Gujarati.
Vishalta (Hindi & Sanskrit: विशालता) comes from the word Vishal and is a state of mind that is often embraced by different religious and spiritual leaders in India.
The word embodies the ultimate state of selflessness, or belief that the body, mind, and all worldly possessions belong to God.
It has been suggested that one of Buddha's favorite resorts, Vaishali, was named after King Vishal, a ruler during the times of Ramayana.
There exists several ancient buddhist monuments as well as a large, but ruined fort, which is believed to be built by King Vishal.
