From G.S.Gai Banavasi inscription of Vinhukada Satakanni, EI, XXXIV, 239-242.
L.1 Buhler read:Viíhukaäaduòu-kulànaìda-Sàtakaíisa vasa-satàya; pakha; mahàbhóviya; jivaputa-.
L.2 Buhler read [bhà]jàya sa-kumà[ràya]; S[iva]khaìda-; deyadhaìma[ì]; Khadasàtisa [|*] Jayaìtakasa achariyasa[putasa] 3. Damorakasa sisena Íaòakena nàgo kato (||) and the last two phrases as "with respect to these (gifts) the minister Khadasàti(Skandasvàti) was the superintendant of the work. The Nàga has been made by Íaòaka (Nartaka) the pupil of Àchàrya [I]damoraka (Indramayóra) of the town of Saìjayanti". Rapson (Cat. of Ind. coins) associate Ùivaskandaùrè with prince and read Vinhuka-äuòu-kulànanda-Satakani. He associate Ùiva-Skandanagaùrè with Skandanagaùàtaka from Kanheri inscription (ASWI, V.86) and Ùivaskandavarman from Malavalli. Sircar (Succ. of Satavahanas) followed after Rapson but doubted if Banavasi = Mallavalli.
