No. 42] MAHUDI PLATES OF PARAMARA BHOJA V. 8. 1074
911 plates were issued in V8. 1076, Bhadrapada-sudi 15 (probably the 4th September, 1020 A.D.) on the occasion of Kornkana-grahana-vijaya-parvan. Hultzsch interpreted the expression occurring in the Banswara plates as the anniversary of the conquest of Konkana,' while D.B. Bhar. darkar suggested the festival day in consequence of the conquest of Köņkapa'. D.B. Diskalkar thinks that the Banswara plates refer to Bhoja's conquest of Könkana, and the Betma plates to his occupation of the country' It, however, appears to us that both the expressions mean the game event, viz. Bhöja's conquest of Konkana. The silence of the present record on this achievement of the Paramärk king may suggest that Könkana was conquered by Bhöja sometime after the dates of the present grant, probably in 1019-20 A.D.
of the geographical names mentioned in the record, Dhärā, the capital of Bhoja, is the modern Dhär in the District of the same name in Madhya Pradesh. The location of the gift village of Dugăryi and the district called Bhūmigpiha-paschima-dvipafichābatka as well as of the locality called Sravanabhadra in the Gauda country is uncertain.
