Kroṣṭukavarttanī-Viṣaya.—It is the name of a district mentioned in some of the early and later Gaṅga records. This has been identified by Hultzsch with modern Chicacole (*E.I.*, XXVI, Pt. II, pp. 66ff.; *E.I.*, XXV, Pt. V, January, 1940, p. 196). This district (viṣaya) also occurs in the Chicacole plates of Devendravarman. It has been identified by some with the country to the north of the river Vamśadharā in the Ganjam district (Journal of the Mythic Society, XIV, p. 263).
