The Bhauma-Kara kings established their capital city of Guhadevapataka (or Guheshvarapataka), identified with modern Gohiratikar (or Gohiratikra) near Jajpur.Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Footnotes/anchor_id_list' not found. The later Somavanshi kings moved their capital from Yayatinagara (modern Binka) to Guheshvarapataka, and renamed the town Abhinava-Yayatinagara ("the new city of Yayati").Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Footnotes/anchor_id_list' not found.
Later, the Jajpur[7] town came to be known as Yajanagara. According to one theory, this name is a corruption of "Yayatinagara". Another theory is that it derives from the Brahmanical sacrifices (Yajna) that became popular during the Ganga-Gajapati period (11th-16th century).Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Footnotes/anchor_id_list' not found. In the Muslim chronicles such as Tabaqat-i-Nasiri and Tarikh-i-Firuzshahi, the town's name was mentioned as "Jajnagar". Later, the suffix "-nagar" ("town") was replaced with the equivalent "-pur", and the town's name became "Jajpur".Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Footnotes/anchor_id_list' not found.
