India history and geography

Source: What is India: Inscriptions of the Śilāhāras

Abhyantaraṣaṭṣaṣṭi (अभ्यन्तरषट्षष्टि) or simply Abhyantara is the name of a province (viṣaya) mentioned in the “Ṭhāṇā plates of Mummuṇirāja”. Abhyantara-ṣaṭṣaṣṭi is evidently identical with the Sthānkābhyantaraṣaṭshaṣṭi viṣaya mentioned in the Bhāṇḍup plates of Chittarāja. It was so called because it included the Śilāhāra capital Sthānaka (modern Ṭhāṇā) .

These copper plates (mentioning Abhyantaraṣaṭṣaṣṭi) were discovered in 1956 while digging the ground between the Church and the District Office at Ṭhāṇā, the chief town of the Ṭhāṇā District in Mahārāṣṭra. Its object is to record the grant, by the Śilāhāra Mummuṇirāja, of some villages and lands to learned Brāhmaṇas on the occasion of the lunar eclipse on the fifteenth tithi of the bright fortnight of Phālguna in the Śaka year 970, the cyclic year being Sarvadhārin.
