South Indian Inscriptions |
EPIGRAPHIA INDICA and Alwar States are also dated in the Bhāṭika era as they seem to be, it would not be wrong to infer that there was a great empire flourishing in Rajputana and the neighbouring territory in the seventh century A.C. As for the localities mentioned in the present inscription, no place-name like Kishkindhā is noticeable in the vicinity of Dhulēv. About four miles south-east of Dhulēv there are extensive ruins of an ancient town near the modern village of Kalyāṇpur where the present plate is said to have been found. These ruins may mark the site of ancient Kishkindhā. Ūbbaraka, the agrahāra village, may be modern Umabarī, about a mile to the north-west of Kalyāṇpur.[1] Tumbatālī cannot be traced in the neighbourhood. TEXT[2]
