Māṇḍavalī is the name of a village mentioned in the “Bassein stone inscription of Anantadeva II”. Māṇḍavalī is plainly identical with Māṇdavī, where the present inscribed stone was found.

This stone inscription (mentioning Māṇḍavalī) was found at Mānḍavī, 15 miles north-east of Bassein in the Ṭhāṇā District. It records some gift at the Māṇḍavalī-tīrtha in the presence of the god Lakṣmīnārāyaṇa installed by the Mahāmātya Lakṣmīdhara of Keśideva. It is dated in the year 1125 (evidently of the Śaka era), the cyclic year being Rudhirodgārī, on the 15th tithi of the bright fortnight of Māgha.
