Śvetaka.—Śvetaka is mentioned in the Indian Museum Plates of Gaṅga Indravarman (*E.I.*, XXVI, Pt. V, October, 1941, pp. 165ff.; XXIV, Pt. IV, October, 1927; XXIII, Pt. I, January, 1935, pp. 29-30). The Ganjam Grant of Jayavarmadeva was issued from Śvetaka (*E.I.*, IV, pp. 199-201). It may be identified with modern Cikaṭi Zamindari in the Sompeṭa taluk of the Ganjam district. It seems to have been situated in the northern part of the Ganjam district (vide also *E.I.*, XXVII, Pt. III, p. 112). According to some Śvetaka was perhaps the country adjoining Kaliṅga to the west (*E.I.*, XXIV, Pt. IV, p. 181).
