Unfortunately I cannot share that information with you because it is part of an article I submitted for publication.

However, whether that was actually Konkani or Marathi is open to debate. Do you have other examples to back up your claim?

We have evidence that Konknni (Konkani) was used in writing before and at the time of the arrival of the Portuguese in Goa.
