Kosala: Sambalpur, Sonepur and Patnagarh (disputed with the Kalachuris)

The upper Mahanadi and Tel basins.

English Wikipedia: the Gangas fought the Kalachuris of Ratnapura for the Sambalpur-Bolangir tract and failed under Kamarnava VII; Anangabhima III wins it later. In 1200 the country is held by custom and local chiefs, not garrisons; Binka and Patnagarh are the campaign board's "contested" towns.
