v2.c38.44

Uddaṇḍa of Narsinghpur, Chattresvar Ḍhol of Ghatsila and Harichandan of Nilgiri submitted after the death of Kṛishṇa Chandra. Khān-i-Daurān’s attempt to subdue Mayurbhañj did not succeed. He advanced towards Hariharpur but could not actually penetrate westwards of Remuṇā, where Kṛishṇa Chandra’s brother Joy Chandra submitted. The difficulties of the country and the arduous task which awaited him in Central Orissa no doubt deterred him from proceeding further. Beyond Remuṇā lay the Bonhari forest, beyond which were the Simlipal hills, and the Rājās would no doubt retire on the approach of the Musalmans to their family stronghold of Khiching in the heart of Kolhan. Joy Chandra Bhañja presented three elephants and some money and Khān-i-Daurān confirmed Kṛishṇa Chandra’s son and returned through the main road to Katak.
