Kaṭaṣaḍī is the name of a village mentioned in the “Bassein stone inscription of Mallikārjuna”. Kaṭaṣaḍī, the headquarters of a viṣaya (district) of that name, would now assume a firm like that Kaṭakheḍī or Kaḍagaon, but no such place-name is noticed in the Bassein tālukā of the Ṭhāṇā District, though similar names are found in some other districts of Mahārāṣṭra.

This inscription (mentioning Kaṭaṣaḍī) is reported to have been found at Bassein and is now deposited in the Prince of Wales Museum, Bombay. It mentions the Rājaguru Vedaśiva and eulogises one Bhopaka Vyomaśiva. It is dated in the Śaka year 1083, on Monday, the fifteenth tithi of the dark fortnight of the month Puṣya, the cyclic year being Vṛṣa.
