Mādhavārya (fl. 1182 A.D.) is the name of a brāhmaṇa mentioned in the “Kolhāpur stone inscriptions of Bhoja II”. Accordingly, “... after purchasing it for the purpose of the gift from Nemaṇa and Lakṣmaṇa, sons of the Mahattara Mādhavārya and grandsons of Uddhavārya of the Kāśyapa-gotra”.

This stone inscription (mentioning Mādhavārya) is said to have been found in the enclosure of the temple of Mahalakṣmī at Kolhāpur. It records the grants made by Bhoja II at his camp at Valavāḍa for the augmentation of his own kingdom. It is dated on the Uttarāyaṇa Saṅkrānti, on Tuesday, the fourth tithi of the bright fortnight of Puṣya (i.e. Pauṣa) in the expired Śaka year 1104, when the cyclic year Śubhakṛt was current.

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.
