INCRIPTIONS OF THE KALACHURIS OF TRIPURI that it was performed on the first anniversary of his death which, as already stated, is known to have occurred at that holy place. The only way to reconcile the dates of the Banaras and Goharwa plates is, therefore, to place Gangeyaâs death and Karnaâs accession in 1041 A.C.1 As stated before, this makes the date of the present grant regularly correspond to Thursday, the 5th November 1047 A.C. As for the geographical names occurring in the present grant, Bangala, Kasmira and Gurjara are too well-known to need identification. Lata has already been identified. Anga comprised the country round modern Bhagalpur and Kira that near Baijnath in the Kangra valley.2- Kuntala was the country under the rule of the Later Chalukyas and comprised parts of the Southern Maratha Country and the adjoining Kanarese districts.3 Utkala included much of the territory now comprised in the State of Orissa. Prof. Hultzsch has correctly identified Kosamba with the modern Kosam, 36 miles west of Allahabad. The donated village Chandapaha, which has remained unidentified, is Chanpaha, about three miles N.N. W. of Kosam. The close similarity of its name to Chandapaha and its proximity to Kosam (ancient Kausambi), leave little doubt about the correctness of the proposed identification.
