¹ To Rai Bahadur Hira Lal I am indebted for the information that the Kilakilā is a small river near Panna. I have since ascertained, through the kind offices of Mr. Śaradā-Prasad of Satnā (Rewah) that one crosses it on the road Satnā-to-Pannā, about 4 miles E. of Pannā, and the river enters the town of Pannā. It still bears its original name. It finally falls into the Ken under the name Mahāur. Probably the entire table-land of Pannā was termed Kilakilā at the time. It agrees with the contemporary designations of other territorial units like Kosalā and Mekalā. [Since the above information I have personally seen the river and found it called ‘Kilkila’ on two tablets on its bridges in Pannā, erected in 1870 A.D., marked ‘Kilkila Bridge’.]
