Next his nephew, the illustrious Cittarāja, became king; the great prince, who, though a child, raised the Śīlāra race to high eminence”.

Keśideva, adorned with all royal titles, evidently belongs to the Śilāhāra family of North Koṅkaṇ, though this is not stated explicitly, and is the second king of that name.

Accordingly, “There is the illustrious king Keśideva, son of King Aparārka (II), who is a gem adorning the illustrious family of the Vidyādharas (and ) who is well-known in the family of Jīmūtaketu. Having seen the mode of the administration of him who is a store of immeasurable and holy valour, the divine Earth does not remember (with regret ) (the ancient) kings such as Rama”.
