[1] According to A.S. Altekar in Education in Ancient India: The village of Salotgi in Bijapur District of the Bombay Presidency was a famous centre, probably of Vedic learning, in the 10th and 11th centuries C.E.

The college was located in a spacious hall, attached to the temple of Tray-Purusha, which was built by Narayana, a minister of the Rashtrakuta emperor Krishna III.

Owing to its far spread fame for efficiency, the college could attract students from different parts of the country.

An endowment of 12 Nivartanas(probably equal to 60 acres) of land was made for meeting the lighting charges of the boarding houses.

The students were offered free boarding, an endowment of 500 Nivartanas having been received for that purpose.
