EPIGRAPHIA INDICA
Of the geographical names mentioned in the record, the location of Jayapura and Rāḍhā
has already been discussed. Jayapura is said to have resembled Ujjayinī (modern Ujjain in the
Gwalior State), the capital of king Vikramāditya of Indian tradition and folklore. The Airāvaṭṭa-maṇḍala is also known from the other records of the family as well as from the Balijhari inscription
of Mahābhavagupta Uddyōtakēsarin.[1] Airāvaṭṭa, after which the maṇḍala was named, has been
indentified with modern Raṭāgarh in the Banki Police Station of the Cuttack District. In the description of Jayānanda, founder of the Nanda dynasty of Orissa, that king is said to have been
sva-vikram-ākrānta-samasta-Gōndrama. Jayānanda thus claimed to have subdued or overrun
“ the whole of Gōndrama ”. Gōndrama is also known from several other records form Orissa in
all of which it is either found in conjunction with the word sakala or with the word ashṭādaśa.
Mr. Panigrahi suggests that ashṭādaśa-Gōndrama is the same as Oriya aṭhara gaḍhjāt, a name
applied by people collectively to all the feudatory states of Orissa. The vishaya of Kahāśṛiṅga
and the village of Palāmūnā cannot be satisfactorily identified.
