ADDITIONAL INSCRIPTIONS OF THE SILAHARAS
(or a field in it) to the priest Vēdāṅgarāśika of the local shrine of Sōmēśvara. Judging by his name, he appears to be a Pāśupata ascetic and is probably represented by the figure at the top of the present stone. The record is dated in the Śaka year 1119, expressed both in words [1] and figures, on the 10th tithi of the dark fortnight of Kārttika, Thursday. The date regularly corresponds to Thursday, the 6th November A.D. 1197. This Aparāditya is, therefore, the second king of that name whose other known inscriptions range in data from Śaka 1106 to Śaka 1108. Soon after the present inscription was incised, he was succeeded by Anantadēva II, whose Bassein inscription is dated Śaka 1120. ..The record mentions only one place-name, viz. Sātuli. It has been indentified with Sātivalī, which lies about 3 miles north-east of Māṇikpur near Bassein.
