Located near the former Śukravāra gate of Kolhapur, this stone inscription is engraved on a slab situated to the right of the Jaina Tīrthaṅkara Pārśvanātha temple. The rounded pediment of the stone features a central relief of a seated Jina, flanked by worshippers, a pitcher, a cow with its calf, and the celestial symbols of the sun and moon. The text, including Old-Kannada language with a Sanskrit invocatory verse, is engraved in Old Kannada script.
Issued on Monday, the fifth tithi of the dark fortnight of Kārttika in the Śaka 1058 corresponding to 28th October 1135 CE, the charter belongs to the reign of the Śilāhāra ruler mahāmaṇḍaleśvara Gaṇḍarāditya. The inscription documents a complex commercial agreement orchestrated by the king's chief vassal (sāmanta-śiromaṇi), Nimbadevarasa. Nimbadevarasa, a devout Jaina and military commander who claimed victory over the subordinates of the Toṇḍai country, had constructed a Pārśvanātha temple at Kavaḍegoḷḷa. To provide for the temple's eight-fold worship, structural repairs, and the sustenance of its ascetics, a consortium of powerful merchant guilds agreed to levy specific taxes on commodities sold within the market.
