Mailiyakka is the name of a person mentioned in the “Herle stone inscription of Gaṇḍarāditya”. Accordingly, “This world lovingly eulogises Mailiyakka, the wife of Nemaṇa, as resembling the respected Sītā in pre-eminent character, as equal to Rati in charming beauty, as similar to Pārvatī in good fortune, and as equal to the wife of Indra (i.e. Sachi) in the greatness of her enjoyments”.

This stone inscription (mentioning Mailiyakka) was found at Herle, a village, about 11.25 km. west of Hātakaṇangale in the Kolhāpur District. It records the grant of one matter of land in Eḍenāḍa and a garden to the Tīrthaṅkara Chandraprabha in the Basadi. It was made on the occasion of a lunar eclipse in Śaka 1040, when the cyclic year was Vilambi.
