Svāmikarāja of the plates [might be] the same as the Cālukya chief Svāmirāja who was victorious in eighteen battles and was killed by the Early Chālukya king Maṅgalēśa as disclosed by the Nerūr plates of the latter.

These plates (mentioning Svāmikarāja) were under worship in a temple at Argā, situated 4 miles to the south of Karwar. It registers a gift of land in the village of Śivapuraka donated to a Brāhmaṇa named Bhavārya of the Kauṇḍinya-gotra.
