History

'Pujaripali Stone Inscription of Gopaladeva' mentions places Gopalpur and Pendra which appear to have been mentioned, because Gopala had probably some connection with them, Apparently, he was the founder of Gopalapura, which was named after him, and Pendra was perhaps his birth-place. The inscription is undated, but is attributable to the 9th Century A. D. on palaeographic grounds. A Gopaladeva is mentioned in the Boramdeo inscription noticed in Cunningham's Archaeological Reports, Volume X, page 35 ff. Both Pendra and Pujaripali are so close to Kawardha State in which Boramdeo is included that it is very possible that the two Gopalas are identical. Mr. D. R. Bhandarkar holds the same view on other grounds. (Vide Cousens' Progress Report for 1904, page 51.)
