[p.63]: Near Singorgarh there is a village named Sangrampur 33 miles from Damoh. It has a step-well (Bihar or Baoli) in which an inscription states that it was built in samvat 1735 (=1678 AD) during the reign of Bundela [p.64]: King Chhatrasala. The Patharia baoli built in samvat 1718 (=1661 AD) mentions the expenses as 20 seers (40 lbs) of silver coins in weight, while that at Lakhroni mentions the exact number of coins with a witness to testify to it. The Garwaho (गरवाहो) well invokes Shrikrishna to prevent absorption or drying up of its waters and to keep it full. These records though not much of historical value are interesting from other points of view.
