Keśapārya (केशपार्य) is mentioned in the “Janjira plates (set II) of Aparājita”. Accordingly, “Joined with the Mahāmātya and Mantrin, the illustrious Keśapārya, he (i.e. Aparājita) shines here like Indra united with Bṛhaspati”.

These copper plates (mentioning Keśapārya) were found together with those of Set I by one Bala Tukaram, while digging in the court-yard of his house at Chikhala-pākhāḍī, a part of Muruḍ-Janjirā in the Kolābā District of Māhārāṣtra. The grant was made by the king while residing at Sthānaka on the mahāparvan of the solar eclipse which occurred on Sunday, the fifteenth tithi of the dark fortinight of Śrāvaṇa in the expired śaka year 915, the cyclic year being Vijaya.
