Vijayādityadeva, or simply Vijayāditya, son of Gaṇḍarādityadeva, is the name of a king from the Śilāhāra dynasty, according to the “Bamaṇī stone inscription of Vijayaditya”. Accordingly, “Goṅkala (son of Jatiga) had a son (named) Mārasiṃhadeva; his offspring was Gaṇḍarādityadeva. His son, the illustrious Vijayādityadeva”.

This inscription (mentioning Vijayādityadeva) is on a stone near the door of a Jaina temple at Bāmaṇī, a village 25 miles south-west of Kāgal, the chief town of the Kāgal-tālukā in the Kolhāpur District. It records the grant made by Vijayāditya of a field, a flower-garden, and a house, in the village Maḍalūra in the district of Paṇaturagegolla. It was made on the occasion of a lunar eclipse, on Friday, the full-moon tithi of Bhādrapada, in the cyclic year Pramoda, when 1073 Śaka years had elapsed.
