And finally, a stone inscription found near Government House, Parel, and now in the collection of the same Society,³ gives us the name of a certain Aparâditya, with the paramount title of Mahârâjâdhirâja and the style of Koṅkaṇa-Chakravartin or "emperor of the Koṅkaṇ," for whom it furnishes a date in the month Mâgha (Jan.-Feb.), falling in A. D. 1187, of the Parâbhava saṁvatsara, Śaka-Saṁvat 1109 (current). The record refers to the Shaṭhashaṭi or Sâlsette district. And there can be little doubt that Aparâditya also was a descendant in the same branch of the Śilâhâra family. Like other feudatories, he seems to have taken advantage, to declare himself independent, of the general confusion that attended the downfall of the Western Châlukya sovereignty.⁴
