History

Allahabad pillar inscription of Samudragupta mentions King named Maṇṭarāja (N. 1, L. 19) in the list of Names of Feudatory Kings and High Officers by Tej Ram Sharma [1], a King of Kurula, one of the rulers of Dakshinapatha defeated by Samudragupta. In this name the first part is Manta and the second is Raja. The meaning of the first part is not clear to the historians. It is clearly not a Sanskrit word. As Woolner has pointed out words with cerebrals are often non-Aryan or influenced by non-Aryan elements.[2] Another possibility is that these names show dialectal elements. We may derive it from an artificial root 'mant' to act as inter mediator.[3]

कौराल

विजयेन्द्र कुमार माथुर[4] ने लेख किया है ...कौराल (AS, p.243) गुप्त सम्राट समुद्रगुप्त की प्रयाग प्रशस्ति में वर्णित एक प्रदेश का नाम है- 'कौसलक महेंद्र महाकांतार व्याघ्रराज, कौरल(ड)क मंटराज पैष्ठपुरक महेंद्र गिरि।' इतिहासकार हेमचन्द्र रायचौधरी के मत में इस नाम से केरल, जिसकी राजधानी महानदी पर स्थित 'ययातिनगर' में थी, का बोध होता है। डॉ. बारनेट के अनुसार यह दक्षिण का कोराड़ नामक ग्राम है (कलकत्ता रिव्यू, फ़र्वरी, 1924) और डॉ. कीलहार्न के मत में कोलेयर झील का तटवर्ती क्षेत्र (कीलहार्न, एपिग्राफ़िका इंडिका, जिल्द 6, पृ. 3)
