Of the remaining two, Kālamjarapura in l. 3 refers to the early home of the Southern Kulachuris in Central India. It is the present day Kalinjar in the Banda Dt. of Bundelkhand. The other is Seleyahalli referred to in l. 9 as the place of residence of the king Sövidēva. This figures in the epigraphical records as one of the headquarters of the Southern Kalachuri rulers. It is probably identical with the modern village Sheloļi in the Kõlhāpur State.'
