________________ No. 18.] CHURA GRANT OF PALLAVA VIJAYA-VISHNUGOPAVARMAN. 141 The boundary villages Lagubarru, Päguhůru and Nägolami mentioned in the inscription may be identified respectively with the modern villages Daggupādu, Pāvuluru and Nagalla, all in the Bapatla taluk of the Guntur District. The gift village Churd would therefore be the deserted village shown in the New Atlas sheets between Nägalla and Daggupidu. In the older sheets this is shown as Sūrāväripalem. Eradi-mahapatha cannot be identified. Karmma-răshtra of the inscription is very well known in early Eastern Chalukya inscriptions and in still later epigraphs it is known by the name Kamma-nandu. But attention may be drawn to the fact that it was still earlier known as Kammaka-ratha in the Jaggayyapēta Prakrit inscriptions of the Ikhaku king Sirivira Purisadata. TEXT.
