Ratanpur Stone Inscription Of Prithvideva II - (Kalachuri) Year 915 (=1163) was originally at Dhanpur. Beglar was told by some people at Bilaspur that the slab originally came from Dhangaon i e , Dhanpur, a village in the former Pendra Zamindârï in the Bilaspur District, which contains several ruins). If the object of the inscription was to record the gift of a village in honour of Siva under the name Sômanâtha installed at Kumarâkôta (see vv 36-39), the inscription may have been originally put up at that place and later on removed to Ratanpur.
