[p.61]: Tharraka (ठर्रका) is a deserted village, 15 miles from Damoh near the village Nayagaon. It contains five Sati pillars reoffering to the Gond regime. One is dated in samvat 1570 (1513 AD) during the reign of Amhandasadeva (आम्हणदासदेव) surname Sangram Sahi (संग्राम साही), the greatest king of the Gond dynasty. It mentions Tharraka (ठर्रका) as included in Shrigadha Gauri Vishaye Durge (श्रीगढ़ गौरी विषये दुर्गे), which furnishes a clue to the real derivation of Singoragadha fort from Shrigauri-gadha (श्रीगौरी-गढ़), fancifully derived by Cunningham from Gajasimha Durga, a name which appears to have been imposed by a Parihara Raja Gajasmha, but the old name asserted itself when the Parihara rule vanished. The second Sati stone is dated in samvat 1571 (=1514 AD), in which the name of the ruling king is given as Amanadasa (अमानदास). Two others are dated in samvat 17-7 and 1736 (=1679 AD), in the reign of Gond King Chhattra Sahi. The fifth is illegible.
