Khetraiya-Indra-śreṣṭhin (fl. 988 A.D.), son of Mahaḍai-śreṣṭhin is mentioned in the Paṭṭaṇakuḍi plates of Avasara II.—Accordingyl, “... the three Śreṣṭhins‒viz. Nāgai Śreṣṭhin, son of Reuma Śreṣṭhin, who is a son of Siddhai Śreṣṭhin, (and) Lokkai Śreṣṭhin, son of Revaṇa Śreṣṭhin, who is a son of Chaṭhṭhamai Śreṣṭhin, (and) Ādityavarman, son of Khetraiya Indra Śreṣṭhin, who is son of Mahaḍai Śreṣṭhin‒have, by offering forty dīnāras to the illustrious King Avasara (II)...”.

These copper plates (mentioning Khetraiya-Indra-śreṣṭhin) were obtained from Tonappa Parisa Upadhye, the priest of the Jain basti of Paṭṭaṇakudi, who claims that they have been preserved as heirloom in his family. The inscription refers itself to the reign of the Śilāra (i.e. Śilāhāra) king Avasara II, ruling from Balinagara. The inscription is dated in the expired Śaka year 910 (expressed in words), the cyclic year being Sarvadhārin, on Monday, the fifth tithi of the bright fortnight of Kārttika.
