¹ Onga is a small river which joins the Mahanadi in the State of Sonpur. *Oṅgā-taṭa-Viṣaya* is therefore 'the district on the bank of the river Oṅgā.' Hiralal suggests that Vakkaveḍḍā is probably Baktī, 15 miles north of Bolangir and 4 miles to the south of the Onga river: *EI*, Vol. XI, p. 198. But B. C. Mazumdar identified it with Bakebira, close to Salebhata Police Station, on the river Onga: see *ibid*, p. 101.
