A History of the Mahrattas v1.c7.139

v1.c7.139

Ferishta mentions the opposition which Alp Khan, the Soobehdar, or Governor, of Guzerat, experienced from a raja named Kirren, when co-operating with Mullik Kafoor in the second expedition into the Deccan. The Raja of Gondwaneh is noticed; and the Raja of Buglana is frequently mentioned by that author. By a grant of land, engraved on a copperplate, and found at Tannah near Bombay,² it appears that there was a raja reigning in or near the island of Salsette, A.D. 1018, who claimed descent from the rajas of Tagara.³ A copperplate of a similar description, found at Satara,⁴ proves that A.D. 1192, there was a raja at Panalla, who possessed a considerable territory.⁵ By the legends of the country, he is said to have reigned over the whole of the tract extending from the Mahdeo range of hills, north of Satara, to the Hurnkassee river, south of Kalapoor, and including all the southern tract of the Concan as far as Sewdasheogurh.
