 The 1460 CE Kumbhalgarh inscription names Bappa as the successor of Nāga, and predecessor of Aparājita.This suggests that Bappa Rawal was another name for Shiladitya (Śila), the great-grandfather of Kalabhoja.Based on this evidence, Dasharatha Sharma and D. C. Sircar have identified Bappa Rawal with Shiladitya.
