Gūhaleśa was the son of Jatiga II: a king from the Śilāhāra dynasty, mentioned in the “Kolhāpur plates of Gaṇḍarāditya”. Accordingly, “To him was born the eldest son, the illustrious Goṅkalla, the foremost (lit. the forehead-mark) of the kings on the earth. Thereafter, there was his brother Gūhaleśa (I); his younger brother was Kīrtirāja; thereafter, Candrāditya made his kingdom free from all troublesome persons”.

These copper plates (mentioning Gūhaleśa) were discovered some years ago while levelling the Khāsbāg grounds in Kolhāpur. It records the grant, by Gaṇḍarāditya, of two nivartanas of land in the village of Koṃnijavāḍa situated in the khampaṇa (subdivision) of Koḍavalli comprised in the Miriñji-deśa. It is dated in the expired Saka year 1048, the cyclic year being Parābhava, on the occasion of the Dakṣiṇāyana-saṅkrānti, on Saturday, the fourth tithi of the bright fortnight of Āṣāḍha.
