India history and geography

Dādaprabhu (fl. 1259 A.D.), bearing the official title śrīkaraṇī (head of the secretariat), is the name of a minister of king Someśvara, according to the “Rānvaḍ stone inscription of Someśvara”.

This stone inscription (menitoning Dādaprabhu ) was found at Rānvaḍ near Uraṇ in the Kolābā District. It records the grant by the King (Rāula) of the proceeds of some fields in Uraṇa-Paḍivase (i.e. Padivase near Uraṇ), on the occasion of a Sūrya-parvan (a holy occasion sacred to the Sun). It is dated on the fifteenth tithi of the dark fortnight of Caitra in the Śaka year 1181, the cyclic year being Siddhārtha.
