History
Pattan Plates of 27th year of Pravarasena II[4], issued from Pravarapura, were discovered at Pattan (पट्टन), a village in the Multai tahsil of the Betul District in Madhya Pradesh. These copper-plates record the grant of land in the Asvatthakhetaka (अश्वत्थखेटक). The village was situated in the mārga of Varadakheta (वरदाखेट) included in the division (bhoga) of Lohanagara (लोहनगर).
Varadakheta (वरदाखेट) is probably Warud in the Morshi tahsil of the Amravati District, about 12 miles south of Pattan (पट्टन).
Lohanagara (लोहनगर), the headquarters of an ancient division, may be represented by Loni, about 9 miles southwest of Warud.
The name of the village Asvatthakhetaka (अश्वत्थखेटक), in which the donated land was situated, can no longer be traced; its site seems to be occupied by the modern village Pattan (पट्टन) or Prabhat Pattan (प्रभात पट्टन) in Betul district of Madhya Pradesh.
