INSCRIPTIONS OF THE SILAHARAS OF KOLHAPUR
already stated, the later portion of the present inscription has been lost. So the date and the object of the inscription cannot be determined. ..The only importance of the present fragment lies in this that it is the only record of the Śilāhāra king Gaṇḍarāditya found in the Beḷgaon District and shows that the district continued to form part of the dominion of the Silaharas during the reign of that king. TEXT[1]
