Indian Palaeography c15.s9.t3.4.4

c15.s9.t3.4.4

seems rather doubtful, especially when we know that this region had its own style of writing well perfected by this time. One cannot escape the suspicion that the plates are the forgeries of persons unacquainted with the official script of the region. The same remark applies to the Chendlur plates,³ though this last record tries to copy the local style in a very bad hand. If this suspicion is true, the genealogy given in these plates need not be accepted. However, it is not my purpose to try to build up any genealogical table. I shall only describe the palaeography in the chronological groups as analysed above.
