Ūlasa (ऊलस) is the name of a river, mentioned as lying on the eastern boundary of the village Ekasāla, according to the “Ṭhāṇā plates of Mummuṇirāja”. About a furlong to the north of this village (Ekasāla), flows the river Ulhāsa (Ūlasa of the grant) in the direction indicated in the copper-plate charter. Ekasāla is to be identified with the village of the same name, now situated about 1½ miles to the north of the Bhivapurī Road Railway station on the Central Railway.

These copper plates (mentioning Ūlasa) were discovered in 1956 while digging the ground between the Church and the District Office at Ṭhāṇā, the chief town of the Ṭhāṇā District in Mahārāṣṭra. Its object is to record the grant, by the Śilāhāra Mummuṇirāja, of some villages and lands to learned Brāhmaṇas on the occasion of the lunar eclipse on the fifteenth tithi of the bright fortnight of Phālguna in the Śaka year 970, the cyclic year being Sarvadhārin.
