-probably another name of Mahobaka or Mahoba, the capital of Bundelakhanda. Our author places this city in Vangaladeśa (v. 1. Ambaladeśa). There is no noteworthy place of this name in Bengal or the territory round about Ambala in the Punjab. Kantipura was, however, the ancient name of Kathamaṇḍū, the capital of Nepala, which earned its modern name in Newārī year 715 (= 1595 A.D.) when king Laksminarasimha Malla got erected a huge wooden pavilion (Kāṣṭhamandapa) in the midst of the city for the worship of Gorakṣanatha, which still exists. This, however, does not appear to have any concern with the Kanti of our text, for king Madanabhrama of the place is a historical figure identified with king Madanavarman of Mahoba. 3.2; 5.5, 9.
