History
Tirodi Copper Plate Inscription of the Maharaja Pravarasena II (c.400 - 415)
Tirodi Copper Plate Inscription of the Maharaja Pravarasena II (c.400 - 415)[1] ...These plates were found at the manganese mine of Tirodi, 8 miles south-east of Katangi, in the District of Balaghat in Madhya Pradesh. (p.48) ...The plates were issued from Narattangavari (नरत्तंगवारी) by the Vakataka Maharaja Pravarasena II. (p.48)
Narattangavari (नरत्तंगवारी) was probably a tirtha. This is probably a joint name like Nagapura-Nandivardhana, and means Vari near Narattanga. (As there are now and were probably in ancient Vidarbha several villages named Vari or Vārkhed, Narattanga seems to have been fixed to the place-name to define the position of the place intended.) In that case it can be identified with Vari, also called Bhairavagadh (भैरवगढ़), now a deserted village on the river Bān (बाण) or Wān (वाण) in the extreme north-west of the Akot tahsil in the Akola District (At this place there are ruins of a fort called Bhairavgadh, with an image of Kala-Bhairava. The place may have attained importance in the time of Pravarasena II's ancestor Rudrasena I, -who was a fervent devotee of Kala-Bhairava). It is only 18 miles to the west of the old fort of Narnala (नरनाला), which probably represents ancient Narattanga, and is still regarded as a holy place. (p.49)
