Maillapayya is the name of a person mentioned in the “Kolhāpur plates of Gaṇḍarāditya”. Accordingly, “Being requested by the kaḍitāmātya Maillapayya, the Mahāpradhāna dependent on his (i.e. Gaṇḍarāditya’s) lotus-like feet, who, having first repaired the dilapidated temple of the holy Kheḍāditya in Brahmapurī created by Brahmā in the great tīrtha, the famous Kollāpura, has constructed a three-spired, temple and has installed therein (the images of) Brahmā and Viṣṇu with a view to do a religious deed, the illustrious Gaṇḍarāditya has accepted his request”.

These copper plates (mentioning Maillapayya) were discovered some years ago while levelling the Khāsbāg grounds in Kolhāpur. It records the grant, by Gaṇḍarāditya, of two nivartanas of land in the village of Koṃnijavāḍa situated in the khampaṇa (subdivision) of Koḍavalli comprised in the Miriñji-deśa. It is dated in the expired Saka year 1048, the cyclic year being Parābhava, on the occasion of the Dakṣiṇāyana-saṅkrānti, on Saturday, the fourth tithi of the bright fortnight of Āṣāḍha.
