History
Siwani Plates of 18th year of Pravarasena II[3] record the grant, by Pravarasena II, of the village Brahmapūraka (ब्रह्मपूरक) to the Brahmana Devaśarmāchārya of the Maudgalya gotra. (p.28)
The donated village, Brahmapūraka (ब्रह्मपूरक), was situated in the Beṇṇākarpara-bhoga (वेण्णाकरपर-भोग) and lay to the north of Vaṭpūraka (वटपूरक), to the west of Kiṇihikheṭaka (किणिहिखेटक), to the south of Pavarajjavātaka (प्रवरज्जवाटक) and to the east of Kollapūraka (कोल्लपूरक) . The village adjoining it was named Karañjaviraka (करञ्जविरक). The grant was made on the 12th tithi of the bright fortnight of Phalguna in the eighteenth regnal year (expressed in words) of Pravarasena II. The Senapati at the time was Bāppadeva. The charter was written by Acharya.
The localities mentioned in the present plates remained unidentified for a long time. Altekar identified Brahmapuraka (ब्रह्मपूरक) with Brahmanwada (ब्राहमणवाडा) near Achalpur. This is incorrect as none of the other villages can be identified in the vicinity of Brahmanwada.
Identification by Vasudev Vishnu Mirashi: Vasudev Vishnu Mirashi[4] has identified the localities mentioned as under:
- Karanja (करंजा), about 6 miles from Amgaon, a railway station on the Calcutta-Nagpur line of the South-Eastern Railway, is probably the ancient Karanjaviraka (करञ्जविरक).
- Brahmapuraka (ब्रह्मपूरक), the donated village, is Bamhani (बमहनी), about three miles from Karanja.
- Kollapūraka (कोल्लपूरक) of the plates is now represented by Kulpa near Karanja, about 5 miles to the west of Bamhani.
- Pavarajjavātaka (प्रवरज्जवाटक) and Vatapuraka (वटपूरक) may be the modern Paraswada and Badgaon near Bamhani6. These places lie within 20 to 30 miles from the eastern bank of the Wainganga and were in all probability included in the Bennakarpara-bhoga mentioned in the present plates. (p.29)
