History

Vasahâ (वसहा) is mentioned in L.29 of Amoda Plates Of Prithvideva I (Kalachuri) Year 831 (=1079 AD).^[2].....The object of the present inscription is to record the donation of the village Vasahâ (वसहा) in the Apara-mandala on the occasion of the construction of a chatushkikâ, or a hall resting on four pillars, of the temple of Vankësvara in Tummâna..... Tummâna, which was the first capital of the Kalachuris in Chhattisgarh, bas been satisfactorily identified with Tumân, 45 m north of Ratanpur.¹ The present grant shows that Tummàna continued to receive royal attention even after the capital was shifted to Ratanpur. Line.28-29 state....— has given as a grant by (pouring) water on (the doneé's) hand, after washing both the resplendent feet of the holy Vankësvara and filling the hollow of his hand with water mixed with kusha, whole rice-grams and gold, on (the occasion of) the dedication of a hall resting on four pillars of (the temple of) the god, the holy Vankësvara (वङ्केश्वर), in Tumànaka (तुमाणक), on Sunday, the seventh tithi of the dark fortnight of Phàlguna.

Vasahâ, the donated village, is clearly Basahâ, about 12 miles north by east from Bilaspur. The name of the mandala, in which it was situated, cannot be read with certainty. Rai Bahadur Hiralal read it as Yavapara-mandala and identified it with the territory round Jaijaipur, in the Janjgir tahsil, 10 miles from Amôdâ. It is however, not unlikely that the intended reading was Apara-mandala² or the Western Division which may have included the territory round Basahâ. (p.404) ^[3].
