EPIGRAPHIA INDICA
(Vol. XXXI
Of the geographical names mentioned in the inscription, the location of Siyadoni has already been discussed. Whether Hariraja had his headquarters at this place or was motely camping there temporarily oannot be determined. The river Vētravati is the modern Betwa. Taking & bath and making grants on the occasion of an eclipse are highly meritorious according to Hindu horiptures. The gift band was situated in Taudā-gräma (or, Kataudi-grāma) and Titbinovanitrima, the first of which is olearly stated to have been attached to Lalitapuravāla. Lalitapura is no doubt modern Lalitpur in the Jhansi District, U.P. But whether vála is the designation of an administrative unit like vishaya or the name of another locality like Lalitapurs (the two forming & composite geographical name) is difficult to determine. I am not sure about the looation of the villages
