The discovery of most of the inscriptions of Uddyotakesarin near Bhuvanesvar¹ may indicate the transference of the seat of the Somavaṁśīs' kingdom from the Sambalpur tract to the seaboard of Orissa. This conclusion is supported by the fact that the Sonpur grant of Someśvara distinctly states that Kosala was granted by Uddyotakesarin to Abhimanyu, who apparently founded a feudatory dynasty in the Sonpur tract. The *Kumārādhirāja* Someśvara was possibly a son of Abhimanyu, and apparently succeeded the latter at Suvarṇapura.
