________________ No. 19) ASANKHALI PLATES OF NARASIMHA II, SAKA 1225 115 Of the geographical names mentioned in the introduction, some have already been discussed abovel in connection with the Nagari inscription of Anangabhima III. Rådhå and Varēndrs, described indirectly as the land of the Javanas (Yavanas or Muhammadans), have to be identified respectively with South-western and Northern Bengal, while, as already noticed, Könäköna, where the temple of the Sun-god was built by Narasimha I, is modern Konarak in the Puri District. The Bhairavaputa kataka cannot be satisfactorily identified. But Vambodăgrāma, as Kamakhya Prasad Basu rightly suggested, is apparently the present Rasta which is a railway station on the South-Eastern Railway in the Balasore District. The Vambödachaura vishaya, in which the five plots of the gift land were situated, was no doubt the district round this locality. Basta seems to be a corruption of Vamsödā through the intermediate form Bänsdā. There is a place called Bannda-Sadanandapur near the Basta railway station. The rāja patha near Vamsödāgrāma, mentioned in the inscription, seems to be the old Puri road running half & mile to the west of the present Puri road built in the thirties of the nineteenth century by Rāja Sukhamay Ray and Rāņi Sankari Dēvi of Calcutta. The old Puri road passed via Jalesvar, Khunta, Basta, Rupsa, Ramachandrapur and Rēmuni. According to the Bengali works on the life of Chaitanya, the saint reached Rēmuni after crossing the Suvarnarëkhi via Jalesvar and Bansda. Of the intermediate stations mentioned in this connection, Amarda is a village in the Mayurbhanj District (former Mayurbhanj State) and Ramachandrapur is a village near the Haldipara railway station.
