[p.51]: Bangaon is 13 miles from Damoh. The inscription mentions Vannigaon (Bangaon) as the village of Hasamuddin who was the local Governor during the reign of Muhammad

[p.52]:Moizuddin. It is dated in the Vikrama year 1385 (wrongly engraved as 3285), as the writer Baijuka (बैज्जूक) is apparently the same Baijuka who wrote the Batihagarh inscription in Samvat 1385. (See No. 70.)

From the same inscription it appears that Baijuka lived when Hasamuddin was Governor.
