The above verse clearly mentions that the iron pillar is a 'Vishnu-dhvaja' = Flagstaff tower of Vishnu But it also mentions that the pillar was established on a hill called 'Vishnu-pada' = where the imprints of Vishnu's feet are found. But where is Vishnupada? Surely, 'Vishnu-pada' cannot be at the present location, as it not a hill but a flat plain. This theory was first proposed by Cunningham, but J.F. Fleet refutes this by saying: " no violence of words can make the current location of the pillar, a hill." The Mahabharata, tells us the location of 'Vishnu-Pada': 'ऎतद्विणुपदं नाम दृश्यते तीर्थमुत्तम् । एषा नदी विपाशा च नदी परमपावनी ।।' There is a place (hill) called 'Vishnu-pada', which is a holy place and which is near Vipasha, the most holy river. Vipasha= Beas river.

Ramayana also provides the location of Vishnu-pada: ययुर्मध्येन वह्लिकान् (वाहीकान्) सुदामानञ्च पर्वतम् ।
विष्णो: पदं प्रेषमाणा विपाशा चापि शाल्मलीम् ।।
-- Ramayana, II. 68, 18-19
Both the above, mention 'Vishnu-pada' as a hill, near the Beas river. It may have been a religious spot in ancient times, with a temple having foot-prints of Shri Vishnu, on which Vikramaditya would have wanted this pillar to be placed, as his devotion to Bhagwan Shri Vishnu. The location of Vishnu-pada is unknown presently, but given its location near the Beas river, it could be anywhere between Kashmir to Punjab. Another innoscription on the pillar, which proves that it may have been brought to its present location by a Tomar king of Delhi: "Samvat Kinllī 1109 Aṅgapāla bādi" 'Anangpal tightened the nail [iron pillar] in Samvat 1109' Proving that the pillar was relocated in 1052 AD.
'क्षितिं अवजित्य सुचरितैर् दिवं जयति विक्रमादित्यः' "Having conquered the earth with good conduct, Vikramāditya conquered heaven".

Cunningham, while studying about the composition of temple pillars reused in the cloisters of Quwwat-ul-Islam mosque in Qutub Complex, found out numerous mason's marks (some recorded).
On one such pillar shaft was the word "कचल" & the date "११२४", which referred to ~1067 CE.
