Source: What is India: Epigraphia Indica volume XXXI (1955-56)Koṇākoṇa is the name of an ancient city mentioned in the “Asankhali plates of Narasiṃha II” (1302 A.D.). Koṇākoṇa, where the temple of the Sun-god was built by Narasiṃha I, is modern Konarak in the Puri District.
These copper plates (mentioning Koṇākoṇa) were discovered from the house of a Santal inhabitant of Pargana Asankhali in the Mayurbhanj State (Orissa). It was made when king Vīra-Narasiṃhadeva was staying at the Bhairavapura-kaṭaka (city, camp or residence).
