Rh Another stone kept in the open yard of a house shows the 'sow and ass' figure, familiar from its occurrence on land grants. There are several small tanks in the vicinity of a large tank (pokhar or pushkara) in the west of the village, and the name Pokharana or Pushkaraṇa must doubtless be ultimately due to the presence of such a tank in ancient times. It is very likely that the place dates back from the early Gupta period and can thus be considered to be the Pushkaraṇa of the Susunia inscription, the capital of King Chandravarman, son of Siṁhavarṁan, the extent of whose dominions may have been more or less coterminous with the ancient Rāḍha country or south-west Bengal.
