Three documents, the Khariar (Ep. Ind., Vol. IX; page 170) Raipur (Gupta Inscriptions, page 196) and Sârangarh (Ep. Ind., Vol IX, page 281) copper plates, speak of king Sudêva (Mahâ-Sudêva-râja) who had Sarabhapura for his capital; this town cannot be identified; however, it is probable that this king reigned in the neighbourhood of the modern town of Raipur which is situated to the south of the Mahânadi and near its source. This kingdom was therefore situated between Kalinga in the east and the kingdom of the Vâkâtakas in the west. It is also very probable that the kings of Sarabhapura were the vassals of the Vâkâtakas.
