INSCRIPTIONS OF THE SILAHARAS OF NORTH KONKAN
Verse 46 mentions Ammaṇaiya as an Amātya of the king, and Jhañjapaiya as his
Sāndhivigrahika. The Kāyastha Uddāma, son of Chakkaiya, was the scribe.
..As for the localities mentioned in this grant, Saṁyāna, which was conquered by Aparājita, is modern Sanjān in the north of the Thāṇā District. It was preciously under the rule
of an Arab feudatory of the Rāshṭrakūṭas. Puṇaka-dēśa corresponds to the modern Poonā
District. Saṅgamēśvara and Chapulaṇa still retain their old names and are situated in the
Ratnāgiri District. Lāṭa is the ancient name of Southern Gujarāt. The country of Bhillama is the kingdom of the Yādavas in Khāndesh. Chandrapura was probably the capital of the
Chandra-maṇḍala mentioned in the Khārepāṭan plates and can be identified with Chāndor
in South Goa. Mānyakhēṭa, the well-known capital of the Rāshṭrakūtas, is, of course, Mālkhed, and Karahāṭa is modern Karhāḍ in the Sātārā district. Palachchha-uchchhikā may be
identical with Pālē, about three miles east of Muruḍ. Vihalē, the chief town of the territorial
division in which the donated village was situated, may be Vihuli in the adjoining Māṇgaon
talukā of the Kolābā District. Chikkhalāḍa, the chief town of the vishaya (district) which
included these places may be identical with modern Chikhalgaon, about 8 miles north of
Muruḍ. Majjigrāma, which formed the western and northern boundaries of the donated
village, is undoubtedly modern Mājgaon, about 4 miles north of Muruḍ.
