Gopiraja is the name of a person mentioned in the “Lonāḍ stone inscription of Aparāditya II”. Accordingly, “Here is the foot-print of the holy Vyomeśvaradeva. May there be happiness (and) great prosperity !... The royal order has been writer by Gopiraja”.

This stone inscription (mentioning Gopiraja) was found in February 1882, about a mile South-west of Loṇāḍ in the Bhivaṇḍī tālukā of the Ṭhāṇā District. It records the gift, probably, of a field, situated in Veharali village (hamlet) included in the Dahasagrāma in the Ṣaṭshaṣṭi-viṣaya. It is dated in the Śaka year 1106 on Monday, the fifteenth tithi of the dark fortnight of Kārttika, on which there was a solar eclipse, the cyclic year being Krodhin.

context information

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
