Satyāśrya is the name of a person mentioned as an “extensive great country” in the “Miraj plates of Mārasiṃha”. Accordingly, “His younger brother was the prince Gūhala, who was conversant with political science, who did not provoke laughter (i.e. won praise) as he danced on the battle-filed by his merit of leadership (gaṇḍa-guṇa), and who became favourite with Satyāśrya as he honoured his feet”.

These plates (mentioning Satyāśrya ) were discovered at Miraj and deposited with the Bombay Branch of the Royal Asiatic Society. It records the grant by Mārasiṃha of the village Kuṇṭavāḍa, situated on the southern bank of the Kṛṣṇaverṇā. It was made on the occasion of the Uttarāyaṇa Saṅkrānti which occurred on Thursday, the seventh tithi of the bright fortnight of Pauṣa in the Saka year 980.
