INCRIPTIONS OF THE KALACHURIS OF TRIPURI than the Chandrēhē inscription of Prabōdhaśiva, dated K. 724 (972-3 A.C.) and may, therefore, be referred to the last quarter of the tenth century A.C. Of the geographical names mentioned in this record, Mahēndra is evidently the well-known mountain of that name on the eastern coast. Arbuda is, of course, Mount Abu. Himālaya and Vārāņāsī are too well-known to need identification. Madhumatī has been shown to be identical with Mahuā which is now a small hamlet, one mile south of Tērahi in Madhya Bharat.¹ Gauda and Kuntala have already been identified. Of the villages granted by Yuvarājadēva, only Sārasadōllaka was identified by Mr. Banerji with modern Sahdol, a station on the Bilāspur-Kaţnī section of the BengalNagpur Railway, but it is far away from Gurgi. It may be Sarsi, 2 miles south of the Śōņa and 34 miles south by west of Chandrēhē. Brahmapurī may be Bāhmangaon about seven miles south by west of Gurgi. As for Karōdhaka there are several villages of the name Karaoņdi or Karauņdia in the Rewa District, but the nearest to Gurgi is the Karaoņdi which lies only four miles to the south-east. The other villages I am unable to identify. 1 Above, P. 208.
