Source: What is India: Inscriptions of the ŚilāhārasDaṇḍabrahman is the name of a king mentioned in the “Tālale plates of Gaṇḍarāditya ”. Accordingly, “That Gaṇḍaradeva, the lord of the maṇḍala, is shining on the earth—being surprised by the marvellous and fierce stroke of whose sword, king Daṇḍabrahman, the lord of the Kuṇḍi country, went to the abode of gods (i.e. died), leaving here his extremely lovely kingdom and matchless fortune acquired by his arm”.
These copper plates (mentioning Daṇḍabrahman) were discovered by Ramchandrarao Appaji while he was digging in a field at Tālale in the Kolhāpur District. It is dated Tuesday, the tenth tithi of the bright fortnight of Māgha in the expired year 1032 (Śaka), the cyclic year being Virodhin. It records the grants made by Gaṇḍarāditya.
