So it seems that Junagadh was ruled by ''thanadar'' under governor of Gujarat. At the time of this inscription, Farhat-ul-Mulk Rasti Khan was governor of Gujarat who was under [[Delhi Sultanate|Delhi Sultan]] [[Firuz Shah Tughlaq]]. The inscription (VS 1437/1381 CE) in Sudavav, a [[stepwell]] in [[Mahuva, Bhavnagar]] mentions Mahipala and his another younger brother Satyaraja.<ref name="ins1">{{Cite book|url=https://archive.org/stream/in.ernet.dli.2015.54106/2015.54106.Inscriptions-Of-Kathiawad|title=New Indian Antiquary|last=Diskalkar|first=D.
