Dāmodarabhaṭṭa (fl. 1259 A.D.) is the name of a person mentioned in the “Rānvaḍ stone inscription of Someśvara”. Accordingly, “on this occasion the King, having invited the illustrious Dāmodarabhaṭṭa and his brother Vāsudevabhaṭṭa, has, by offering them two cocoanuts, donated, by pouring water on their hands, to Dāmodarabhaṭṭa and his brother on the Saṅkrānti sacred to the Sun, as common fields, one in the Khaṇḍapalāsthāna included in the village Uraṇa-Paḍivase and all the produce of the Deulekhaṇḍa, the fields thus being three”.

This stone inscription (menitoning Dāmodarabhaṭṭa) 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.
