The inscription reads:

संवत १०..फल्गुन वदि ९ सोमे श्रीमद गयाकर्णदेव विजयराज्ये राष्ट्रकूटकुलोद्भव महासमन्ताधिपति श्रीमद् गोर्ल्हणदेवस्य प्रवर्धमानस्य || श्रीमद् गोल्लापूर्वाम्नाये वेल्लप्रभाटिकायामुरुकृताम्नाये तर्कतार्किक चूडामणि श्रीमन् माधवनन्दिनानुगृहीतः तस्साधु श्री सर्व्वधरः तस्य पुत्र महाभोज धर्म्मदानाध्ययनरतः तेनेदं कारितं रम्यम शान्तिनाथस्य मन्दिरं|| स्वलात्यम् सर्ज्जक सूत्रधारः श्रेश्ठि नमावितानं महाश्वेत.म निर्मितमतिसुन्दरं|| श्रीमच्चन्द्रकराचर्य्याम्नाय देशीगणान्वये समस्त विद्या विनयानन्दित विद्वज्जनाः प्रतिष्ठाचार्य श्रीमत् सुभद्राश्चिरं जयतु ||

The Bahuriband stone inscription from the reign of

Rashtrakuta

clan.

The samvat is not clearly read, Alexander Cunningham estimated it to be Saka era 1020 to 1047 AD.^[5] Epigraphist Dr. Suman dates it to Vikram 1182 or 1125 CE.^[6] Gayakarna ruled during 1123-1153 CE, thus supporting 1125 CE.

An edict of Ashoka is engraved at a spot named Rupanath nearby.
