Bhillarasa is the son of Nākarasa Campakāmbike, according to the “Kolhāpur Śeṣaśāyī temple inscription of the reign of Gaṇḍarāditya”. Accordingly, “Who will stand comparison with Campakāmbike whose deity was the Supreme Jina, whose husband is Nākarasa, and whose sons are Bhillarasa, Nimbarasa and Kāvarasa of great fame”.

This inscription (mentioning Bhillarasa) is incised on some beams of the maṇḍapa of the shrine of Śeṣaśāyī in the back yard of the great temple of Mahālakṣmī at Kolhāpur. It records the construction of the temple (caityāgāra) of Āditīrtheśvara (i.e. Ādinātha) evidently at Kolhāpur. It contains no date, but as it belongs to the reign of Gaṇḍarāditya, it is evidently of the first half of the twelfth century A.D.
