About the Book
The present work aims in tracing the cultural and historical Geography of Madhya Pradesh from available place names from the inscriptions found in the region which have been classified on the basis of prefixes and suffixes and are arranged under different heads such as Topography, Flora, Fauna, Settlement, Administrative divisions, Social, Economic and Religious conditions chronologically. The place names which have been taken here are dynasty-wise and for the convenience of the readers they have been classified under different groups such as (1) Mauryas, Sungas and Satavahanas, (2) Guptas and their feudatories and contemporaries, (3) Pratiharas and Paramaras, (4) Chandellas and their contemporaries and (5) Kalachuris of Tripuri. The maps of the kingdoms of Paramaras and Chandellas of Jejakabhukti give an idea about the extent of the empire of these dynasties.
