EPIGRAPHIA INDICA
(VOL. XXVIII
ancient village of Khõnna in Varāhavarttani has been identified with modern Korni near Kalingapatam in the Ganjam District. This shows that Varahavarttani comprised parts of the Ganjam District where king Arkēsvara also apparently ruled. Hingulā, probably the capital of the particular branch of the Ganga family to which Arkēśvara belonged, seems to have been situated, as already indicated, on the banks of the Rishikulya, no doubt the river of that name flowing past the town of Ganjam in the Ganjam District of Orissa. The river has retained its old name in the list of rivers issuing from the Mahöndra range (i.e., the Eastern Ghats) mentioned in the geographical sections of the Puranas. The exact location of Hingulä is, however, unknown, although it may be modern Hinjili of the Survey of India sheet maps 74A/11 ol and 74A/15 a 1. Madhyadēsa, to which the donee's family originally belonged, was the name applied to the central region of Northern India roughly between the Himalayas and the Vindhyas and between the Eastern Punjab and the Eastern United Provinces (Uttar Pradesh).
