Excerpt from The Archaeological Survey of Mayurabhanja, 1912, Vol. 1
It is now nearly eighteen years that I happened to come by several copper-plate grants together with rubbings from a number of inscriptions discovered in Orissa which went far to prove that the till then accepted theories regarding the antiquities of that historic land were erroneous in many respects. A close and careful examination of these materials led me to conclude that the earlier part of the Madala-Panji of Orissa was not only unreliable as a guide in regard to the old chronology of her Princes but positively misleading. I was also under the strong impression that further careful researches were likely to bring more resources within the reach of scholars, leading to conclusions that would materially differ from, nay, in some cases even go so far as to explode, the established theories. So I embarked on a research in Orissa and embodied the results thereof in my Bengali Encyclop?dia, the Vicvakosa, besides contributing some articles based on them to the Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bengal.
It was about this time also that I took a short trip into Orissa by sea and visited several important places there.
