No. 3] ALALPUR PLATES OF NARASIMHA JI, SAKA 1215 identified with the present Allpur. Another interesting fact is that only one of the five localities granted seems to have carried the name applied to the suisana. If the reference to the god Bhuvanośvara at Dharapura actually refers to the present Bhubaneswar, originally named, no doubt, after a dcity of this namo, it may be suggested that the fifth plot of the gift land comprised modern Alalpur near Bhubaneswar. Rēmunā has been identified with the modern village of the same name situated about 6 miles to the west of Bninsore. Pangapāla may be idontified with the place of that name in Pargana Barpalla in the Cuttack District. Uriso is the same as Urisa, a village within the jurisdiction of the Jagutsingpur Police Station in the same District. The Sailo vishaya may be roughly identified with the Sailo Pargana in the said District. Säivira is still the name of another Pargana in thnt District. Kalambora-vishaya, known from several other inscriptions, was apparently the district round the present village of Urisa.
of the localities mentioned in connection with the second plot of the gift land, the villages Hariönti, Kurangi, Chhatalo and Khandhala are now called Harianta, Kurang, Chhatol and Khandol respectively. They are all situated in the vicinity of one another in the Cuttack District (see Survey of Indii map, sheet No. 73 H/15). The third plot of land was also situated near Hariontågrūma, i.e. modern Harianta. The other places mentioned in the record cannot be satisfactorily identified.
