EPIGRAPHIA INDICA
[VOL. XXVIII which is specifically mentioned in the record as situated to the east of Manapura is represented by the modern village of Tena, which is 2 miles east of Manor. The name of Kurāta vishaya, wherein Manapura was included, has perhaps survived in the modern name Kirat, a village, lying 12 miles north-east of Palghar town. The Velugrama of the inscription seems to be identical with Velgaon, 3 miles south-east of Kirat and 14 miles east-north-east of Palghar. As regards Vengi1-vishaya, it is extremely doubtful if by this is meant the well-known homonymous tract between the Godavari and the Krishna on the eastern coast, as from aught we know of this ruler, his territory could never have extended so far. I am therefore unable for the present to identify Vengi as also Urachhaka and Bōdatta which were included therein.
I edit the inscription from the original as well as from a set of excellent estampages supplied through the kind courtesy of the Director General of Archaeology.
