One of them ruled over Northern Konkan, which was composed of fourteen hundred villages, the chief of them being Purī, which probably was at one time the capital of the province. As represented in an inscription at Kānheri noticed before, Konkan was assigned to Pullaśakti by Amoghavarṣa a few years before Śaka 775. Another Śilāhāra family established itself in Southern Konkan. The founder or first chief named S'aṇaphulla enjoying the favour of Kṛṣṇarāja acquired the territory between the sea-coast and the Sahya range.³ There were three Rāṣṭrakūṭa princes of the name of Kṛṣṇarāja but the one meant here must be the first prince of that name who reigned in the last quarter of the seventh century of the S'aka era - [Previous: c8.s7.4](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c8.s7.4) - [Next: c8.s7.6](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c8.s7.6) - [Up: c8.s7](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c8.s7) ## Linked texts (1) - [Kanheri Inscription (No. 15)](https://indike.org/pramana/inp.epigraphy.deccan.rastrakuta.kanheri-inscription-no-15) — Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c8.s7.5](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c8.s7.5) · Pramāṇa
