________________
No. 14] THREE CHANDELLA CHARTERS
: 19 with the district round Ichchhawar in the Pailani Tahsil of the Banda District. Erachchhapattalā may be the same as the Erachha vishaya of the Mahoba plate, the name of which has been preserved in that of modern Erich on the Betwa, about sixty miles from Mahoba. Navarathapattalā seems to be the same as the Navarashtra-mandala vishaya of the Charkhari plates, whilo the names of Vandiuri, Tintiri-pattalā and Pipalahā remind us respectively of the Banda Distriot, the Teonthar Tahsil of the former Rewa State and the Pipaloau durga mentioned in the Alhaghat inscription. The district of Navarăshtra was situated on the river Yamunā.
