History of Mediaeval Hindu India (being a History of India from 600 to 1200 A.D.) v3.c34.s6.69

v3.c34.s6.69

There are some other points of interest in these inscriptions relating to the general condition of the country which we will notice in our general survey. The country contained many towns to which foreign trade came such as Sanjan, Sopara, Baesein, Thana, Kalyan, Cheul and Chiplun and the customs revenue of the country must have always been very great. It appears that the fort of Thana was built by these Śilāhāras as in digging a foundation therein the copper plate of Anantarāja dated 1017 was found. The notable beautiful cave temples of Elephanta we will describe in a note.
