THE SILAHARAS OF KOLHAPUR

giḷa.[1] Pranālaka[2], or Padmanāla[3] (modern Panhāḷā, 12 miles to the north-west of Kolhāpur), (2) Kshullakapura[4] or Kōllāpura[5] (modern Kolhāpur) and (3) Vaḷavāḍa[6] (probably identical with Vaḷivaḍē, about 6 miles east of Kolhāpur).

..The Vikramāṅkadēvacharita[7] of Bilhaṇa, while describing the svayaṁvara of the Vidyā- dhara (i.e. Śilāhāra) princess Chandralēkhā, describes her father as Karahāṭa-pati ‘the lord of Karahāṭa’ (modern Karhāḍ in the Sātārā District). This shows that Karahāṭa was then the capital of this branch of the Śilāhāras. The father of Chandralēkhā, whom Bilhaṇa has not named, was probably Mārasiṁha. In the Miraj plates dated Śaka 980 his father Gōṅka is described as the ruler of Karahāṭa vishaya ; but soon after this marriage, the Śilāhāras had to shift their capital from Karahaṭa to Kolhāpur ; for in later times Karahāṭa was ruled by the Chālukya prince Mallikārjuna, probably son of Chandaladēvī, and Jōgama, a feudatory of Vikramāditya VI.
