Places of note

  • Gersoppa (the upper Sharavati): forest and ghat road above the falls

Where the sources disagree

  • A small Jain state at Gersoppa belongs to the fourteenth century and later (board).

Evidence: Evidence is thin: the place and its setting are known; its officers and size in 1200 are not in the pages we read.
