History
Patna Museum Plates of Pravarasena II (Found at Balaghat)[5] record the grant, by the Vakataka Maharaja Pravarasena II, of the village Shriparnaka (श्रीपर्णका) to three Brahmanas. The donated village was situated in the mārga of Sundhati (सुन्धाति) and lay to the east of Brahmapuraka (ब्रह्मपुरक) , to the west of Millukadratha (मिल्लुकद्रथ), to the north of Madhukajjhari (मधुकझरी) and to the south of Darbhaviraka (दर्भविरक). The grant was made in exchange for the previous gift of the village Manapallika (माणपल्लिक) which was situated on the mārga of Yashapura (यशपुर).
Brahmapuraka (ब्रह्मपुरक) is probably Bahmani, about 12 miles north by west of Balaghat. It lies on the road which connects Lalburra with Samnapur. The latter may represent ancient Sundha or Sundhapura.
Madhukajjhari (मधुकझरी) is probably Murjhar, about 3 miles south-east of Bahmani, and Millukadratha (मिल्लुकद्रथ), modern Mugardara, 2 miles north by east of Bahmani.
Nothing corresponding to Sriparnaka (श्रीपर्णका) can be traced in the vicinity of these places, but it was probably situated between Bahmani and Mugardara.
Darbhaviraka (दर्भविरक) cannot now be traced.
