UNDIKAVATIKA GRANT OF ABHIMANYU.

near Pagåra, which is about four miles north of Pachmarhi. In endorsing this identification, Dr. Fleet suggested that Undikavâţika, the village granted, may be one of two villages named
Oontiya' in the same neighbourhood. He was inclined to identify Manapuram with Manpur near Bandhogarh ' in Rewa, provided that the Manapuram of the inscription was to be understood as the capital of Abhimanya, not as a temporary camp of his. That the former alternative is correct, may perhaps be concluded from the name Manapuram itself, which seems to be derived from Månånka, the name of Abhimanya's great-grandfather, and to mean the town or capital of Måns or Månånka.'
