as identical with Chandalla Trailokyavarman. It seems, bowever, that he was the king who, according to Minhaj, fled from Kälañjara when it was attacked by Nusrat-ud-din Täishi in A.H. 631 (1233 A.D.) during the reign of Iyaltimish. According to Minhaj, the king of Kālañjara was killed by the Turks when captured after a hot pursuit. If this account of Minhaj is taken as correct, Trailokyavarman of the above Rewah plates cannot be identified with the Chandella Trailökyavarman. Barring this record no inscription of the time of Trailokyavarman bearing u date subsequent to 1213 A.D., the date of an Ajayagarh inscription, has so far been found.
The followiny places are mentioned in the charter : Vadavāri vishaya, Tihari, Mandāura, Sihadauņi and Raikaura. Vadavari appears to be the same as Vadavāda, mentioned in the Garra plates of Parinardidēva,or Vadaväri of the Semre grant. It has been identified with Bedwāda in the Lalitpur Sub-division of the Jhansi District of U.P. Tibari is the same as modern Tihari or Tehri-Bānapur, near Tikamgarh. Mandaura is modern Madaora in the Lalitpur Sub-division. It is 28 miles south of Tikamgarh and Tehri and almost at the same distance to the south-east of Lalitpur. Sihalauni is the same as Siyadoni of inscriptions, identified with Siron Khurd nearly 10 miles west-north-west of Lalitpur. I am unable to identify Raikaura.
