11. Hero-stone in the compound of the Santeshvara temple – Annual Report on Indian Epigraphy for 1945-46, no 255 – refers to the rule of the Suena king Singhana I – dated in his 29th regnal year, corresponding 1160 CE – Incomplete. Seems to record the death of a hero (name lost), the senanayaka of Sovideva of Aguri, in a fight. The author of the inscription probably take the king as Singhana I instead of Singhana II though both ruled for more than 30 years. If he is taken as Singhana I then with latest refined dates for his rule, the inscription would be dated 1145 CE, and if he is taken as Singhana II then the date of the inscription would be 1229 CE.
