INSCRIPTIONS OF THE SILAHARAS OF NORTH KONKAN
They did not then assume such high-sounding titles as Mahāmaṇḍalēśvara, Tagarapura-paramēśvara, Abhimānamahōdadhi and Gaṇḍakandarpa which we find in the later records of Aparājita,
Chhittarāja and others. They had to content themselves with the modest title of Mahāsāmanta which we notice also in the earlier inscriptions of Pulaśakti and Kapardin II.
.. As for the localities mentioned in the present grant, Pāṇāḍa, the headquarters of the
Pāṇāḍa-vishaya, is Poināḍ, about 8 miles north by east of Alibāg in the Kolābā District. The
village Sālaṇaka in which the donated fields were situated may Sālinde which lies about
6 miles south by east of Poināḍ[1]. Mañchakapallī is possibly represented by Pāle, about
a mile to the north of Sālinde. Vakhōlā may be Kolētī which lies about four miles to the
south. The map shows two small streams joining each other to the north of Sālinde as stated
in the present grant. No place corresponding to Janhupura where the donee was residing
can now be traced in the Kolaba District.
