History
Tej Ram Sharma[4] mentions some 'One-word Place-names': Kurala is one of them. 8. Kurala (कुराळ) (No. I, L. 19[5]) :
It has been mentioned as one of the kingdoms of Daksinapatha subdued by Samudragupta. Its ruler was Mantaraja. Fleet suggests that Kauralaka is a mistake for Kairalaka, denoting the well known province Kerala in the South of India. D.R. Bhandarkar identifies this Kerala with the Sonpur

territory in C.P. round about Yayatinagara where the author of the Pavanaduta locates the Keralas. Barnett identified it with modern village Korada in South India. Kurala is taken by Kielhorn to be the same as Kunala mentioned in the Aihole inscription of Pulakesin II and identified with the Kolleru lake between the Godavari and the Krishna. But DR. Bhandarkar objects to this view on the ground that the Kolleru lake must have been included in the kingdom of Verigi mentioned later on in the same list in the inscription. G.Ramdas seems to be right when he observes that Kurala must be the plain country of the Ganjam district to the north-east of the Mahendra hill now chiefly occupied by the Oriyas.
