1896.]. N. N. Vasu—Copper-plate inscription of Nrsiiha-déva II. 235 
prior to the time of Nrsimha I, Kénakona was the name of Konarak. 
The place subsequently became famous under the name of Kénarka 
or Kanarak after the sun-temple had been built there. 
The places mentioned in the Copper-plate, exist up to this day, 
under the same names with very slight variations. For instances— 
Déra-visaya is now knownas Déra-vigi (on sheet 115 of the Indian Atlas 
it is mentioned as Darabee, Lat. 20°30’—20°35’N. and Long. 86°18’45’"”— 
86°30’E.) and Svayga-visaya as Sooang Lat. 20°16’ 21”N. and Long. 
86°11’45"—86°13' 50”E. (on sheet 116 of the I. A.). The granted 
village Edara is now known as Endara (Aindare of the Indian Atlas), 
situated on the north of Talanga (Teelung of the Z. A.) Lat. 29°33’30” 
and Long. 86°20’N. Khanda-sahi and Sunailo are situated at a dis- 
tance of about 6 miles from Endara and one mile from the Kendupatna 
lock. But they are now included in different pargannahs. It may be 
worth mentioning that the village of Sunailo is very near to the place 
where the Copper-plate was found.
