A History of the Mahrattas v1.c7.26

v1.c7.26

The Concan is that part of Maharashtra which lies between the Ghauts ² and the sea, and extends along the coast, from (753–978); and a second Chālukya dynasty of Kalyāni, which yielded place at the close of the thirteenth century to the Yādavas of Devgiri (Daulatābād) and the Hoysalas of Dora Samudra (Halebīd). In the Konkan various dynasties of more or less independent chiefs held sway, e.g. the Mauryas of Puri, the Silāhāras of Thāna, and the Kadambas of Banavāsi. (V. A. Smith, E.H.I. and O.H.I., gives references and authorities.) See note on page 24 post for Prof. D. R. Bhandarkar's account of the Sātavāhana dynasty.]
