INSCRIPTIONS OF THE CHANDELLAS OF JEJAKABHUKTI
SĒMRĀ COPPER-PLATE GRANT OF PARAMARDIDĒVA
Kakaradaha, another village situated in the Vaḍavāri vishaya, appears to be identical with
Karhaiyā, lying about 55 kms. south-southwest of Lalitpur. This place is also mentioned in
the grant of Trailōkyavarman, as to be seen below. Madanapura, which still retains its old
name, is the find-spot of Pṛithvīrāja’s inscriptions1 ; it is about 38 kms. to the south-east of
Dudāhī. Sōnasara, which is stated in the grant to have been the camp of Madanavarman, was
not been previously identified. It appears to be identical with Saunsar, the headquarters of a tehsīl in the Chhindwāḍā District of Madhya Pradesh. The rest of the localities cannot be traced.
It may, however, be stated here that a study of all these place-names reveals that Paramardin’s
kingdom comprised, besides his main dominions in Bundelkhand, the whole of the present Lalitpur division of the Jhānsī District stretching to the west up to the Bētwā and to the south up to
some parts in the Chhindwāḍā District.
