Paṇḍarana is the name of a village mentioned in the “Kolhāpur stone inscriptions of Bhoja II”. From the description in the present inscription the village Paṇḍarana seems to have been in the vicinity of Paṇutarage, but no such place can now be traced in the neighbourhood of Paṇutre.

This stone inscription (mentioning Paṇḍarana) 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.
