Keśavaka is name of a village mentioned in the  “Kurud plates of Narendra” (877 A.D.). The charter is addressed to the residents of the village of Keśavaka, situated in the Chullāḍasīma-bhoga (or in the bhoga bordering on Chullāḍa) and states that the village was granted by the deceased king to one Bhaśrutasvāmin or Bhāśrutasvāmin belonging to the Dhāraṇi-gotra

This plate (mentioning Keśavaka) was found by a farmer while ploughing his field at Kurud, about 27 miles north-east of Raipur, in the Tahsil and District of Raipur in Madhya Pradesh. It was issued by king Narendra from his camp of victory at Tilakeśvara on the 4th day of Vaiśākha in the 24th year of his reign.
