INSCRIPTIONS OF THE KALACHURIS OF RATANPUR KONI STONE INSCRIPTION OF PRITHVIDEVA II : YEAR 900 in the Bilāspur and Jānjgir tahsils. Its ancient name seems to have been Taraḍaṁśakabhukti mentioned in an old copper-plate grant¹ of Mahāśivagupta-Bālārjuna, found near Mallār. Khijjiṅga and Daṇḍapura cannot be identified. Daṇḍabhukti is mentioned in several old records and probably comprised parts of Midnapur and Balasore Districts.² Finally, Salōnī, the village granted to Purushōttama, may be identical with Saraoni which lies only about a mile and a half south by west of Kōni where the present record was discovered.
