Suprayā (fl. 1154 A.D.) is mentioned in the “British museum stone inscription of the reign of Haripāladeva”. Accordingly, “... Suprayā has been appointed daṇḍāḍhipati for bearing the burden of the cares of the administration of Prānālaka-deśa”.

This stone inscription (mentioning Suprayā) was apparently found somewhere is North Koṅkaṇ and is now deposited in the British Museum, London. It records that some miscreants did damage to the channel (nāḍa) near a well belonging to the residents of the village Turubhāmra and dedicated to the god Agnihotra. It is dated in Śaka 1076, the cyclic year Bhāva and the full-moon tithi of Māgha.

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
