v1.c17.s2.56

In the genealogy given in the Ganjām grant (*i*) of Daṇḍimahādevī we have 7 rulers of the line of Loṇabhāra. The inscription noticed above gives us the name of an additional member and the total number of princes from Loṇabhāra to Daṇḍi-mahādevī now stands at 8. The only other member of this family for whom we have epigraphic records is Sāntikara, the son of Lalitabhāra. One of his inscriptions was discovered in a small cave near Aśoka's rock-edict at Dhauli in Puri district.² Another short inscription of 5 lines belonging to this prince was discovered in the Gaṇeśagumpha at Khandagiri, in Puri district³ which appears to record some dedication made by Bhīmaṭa, a physician (*bhiṣak*).
