No. 2] KOLHAPUR INSCRIPTION OF SILAHARA BHOJA II; SAKA 1101 16 old Marathi documents of the 17th-18th century. The expression golla can be equated with Kannada kolla which means a valley or low land. The Panaturage golta would therefore correspond to the valley formed by the river Dhāmņi, bounded on the east by the Bhögāvati river and on the west by the Kumbhi river, as seen on the maps. There are several mountainous tracts in this region which appear to have been mentioned in the Talale copper plates of Silāhāra Gandarāditya, as forming the boundary of this Paņaturage golla. This golla again seems to have been mentioned in the Bamani inscription of Silahāra Vijayaditya, where it is read as '..pavu[ka]gegolla' wherein the village of Mada[la]ra was situated. The doubtful nature of the reading can be seen from the dots and the square brackets enclosing it. So it is possible to restore the reading as [Pa]patu[ra]ge-golla and Madalāra may be identified with Mandār, which is about 3 miles west of Paņutrā.
My thanks are due also to Sri P. B. Desai, M.A., of the office of the Government Epigraphist for India, for his useful suggestions in connection with this paper.
