History

R. D. Banerji identified Bhusawar with the Vusāvaṭa mentioned in an inscription from nearby Bayana dated to 8 January 955. The inscription records that a woman named Chittralekhā (possibly the queen consort to the Kachchhapaghata dynasty king Maṅgalarāja of Gwalior) founded a temple to Vishnu at an unspecified location and endowed it with certain revenue grants for its upkeep. Among these revenue grants was a sum of three drammas from the maṇḍapikā (marketplace) in Vusāvaṭa, possibly collected as an octroi fee on every horse-load of goods brought to the town's marketplace.^{[2]: 121–2}
