EPIGRAPHIA INDICA.
(VOL. XXVI.
noted in this connection that the credit of having conquered the whole of Göndrama given to Jayānanda in this record may just be an exaggeration. Airavatta, after which the vishaya of that name was called, has been identified with Ratigarh in the Banki Police Station of the Cuttack district. Potoda and Lambēva may provisionally be identified with Potal in the Hindol State and Limbu in the Narasinghpur State respectively. Pundravarddhana is the well-known ancient name for North Bengal. I cannot suggest any identification for JambameNāråyaņapura.
