Kṛṣṇa I had also brought under his sway southern Konkan. From the Kharepatan plates of Raṭṭarāja, we learn that Saṇaphulla, the founder of the line, had obtained the territories between the Sahya and the sea through the favour of Kṛṣṇarāja. (47) S'ilāhāras were for a long time very loyal feudatories of the Rāṣṭrakūṭas; allowing about 25 years per generation for the ancestors of Raṭṭarāja, we find that Saṇaphulla has to be placed in the latter half of the 8th century It is therefore evident that Kṛṣṇarāja, who had placed Saṇaphulla in charge of Konkan, must be Kṛṣṇa I.
