Some of the geographical names mentioned in the record have been discussed above. The gift village of Veligalani is stated to have been situated in Hariguka-Mödüri-siman. Mention is also made of the rivers Gödāvari and Krishņā-Vēņņā (Kộishņā). While describing the boundaries of the gift land, the rivers Bhimarathi and the villages of Pemchikalapādu, Penamärgūru, Garagaparti, Mõraṁtāda, Kanumuru, Mūmdlarūmdi and Mirti are mentioned. Amongst the other places mentioned, Delhi is referred to only in a few South Indian epigraphs. Bhimarathi of our record may be identical with the stream of that name mentioned in the Gavarapādu grant of Kākatiya Ganapati, which is now called Bhima-nadi, though the famous Bhimarathi is the modern Bhimã, the well-known tributary of the Krishņā. Hariguka-Mëdüri-siman, or Medūra-thala As it is called in the Oriya section, is identical with modern Mēdūru in the Gudivada Taluk of the Krishna District. Kapilēsvarapura of our record is no doubt the present Kapilēsvarapuram in the same Taluk, which is only a few miles from Mēdūru. The old name Veligalani and the new names Jāgēsvarapura and Vellamāṁbāpura or Velamapura applied to two parts of Veligalani appear to have gone out of use while the name Kapilēsvarapura, which was originally applied to a third part of old Veligalani after the name of the donor, came to be applied to the entire village. The village of Mundiapūmdi is apparently the present Mullapūdi while Kanumūru is the village of the same name neur Kapilēgvarapuram. Penamamgūru is modern Penamakuru. The other localities mentioned in connection with the boundaries of the gift village cannot be satisfactorily identified.
