These Kadambas of Goa or Gopakapaṭṭaṇa were a branch of the same Kadamba family though their origin in the records is given differently from that given in the records of the Kadambas of Hangal. They seem to have wrested Goa from the Śilāhāras of Southern Konkan (Konkan 900) and they also had territory above the Ghauts in the present Khanapur Taluka of the Belgaum District, then called Palasige. They other territories assigned to him, being a son-in-law of Vikrama. He even assumed the title of Konkan Chakravartin and aspired to independence. This led to his being attacked and defeated by Achugi I his feudatory who in his inscription is said to have taken Goa and Konkan. The Lakshmana inscription dated 1147 mentions that presents were given to him at the time of making grants to the god Somnath (Gazetteer page 569).
