History

Kalachuri King Jajalladeva (I)'s friendship was sought by the lord of Chedi. He was also honoured with presents of wealth by the kings of Kanyakubja (कान्यकुब्ज) and Jejabhukti (जेजाभुक्ति). He defeated Sômësvara (सोमेश्वर) and imprisoned him together with his ministers and wives, but afterwards released them as desired by his mother. The kings of Kosala (कोसल), Andhra (आंध्र), Khimidi (खिमिडी), Vairagara (वैरागर), Lanjika (लान्जिका), Bhanara (भाणार), Talahari (तलहारी), Dandakapura (दण्डकपुर), Nandavalï (नन्दावली) and Kukkuta (कुक्कुट) paid annual tributes or presents to him. (p.410)[4]

Dandakapura may be the capital of Dandabhukti which evidently comprised some portions of the Midnapur and Balasore Districts. According to Mr R D Banerji[5] the place may be identical with Dantan in South Midnapur District.(p.411)[6]

Ratanpur Stone Inscription Of Jajalladeva I - (Kalachuri) Year 866 (=1114 AD) mentions a place Siruli (सिरुली) in Verse.30. Sirulî, which was donated to the temple in Jâjallapura, is probably represented by Sirli, 8 m south-west of Jânjgir (p.411).....(V.30) To the god the king Jâjalla (जाजल्ल) gave the excellent village of Siruli (सिरुली) (and) to the monastery a groups of pâtalà (trees) as a perpetual gift.Corpus Inscriptionium Indicarium Vol IV Part 2 Inscriptions of the Kalachuri-Chedi Era, Vasudev Vishnu Mirashi, 1955, p.409-417
