c8.86

A.D. c. 426(?). [According to Professor Jouveau-Dubreuil the Pallava Kumāra-Viṣṇu II, came to the throne about A.D. 425. A record of his second year witnesses the gift of the village of Chandalūr in Nellore District by him (Ep. Ind. viii. 233). Relying on date of the Penukonda plates of A.D. 458 (see below), this inscription would seem to belong to a year considerably earlier. For three reigns intervened between Kumāra-Viṣṇu II and Simhavarman I, and the latter came to the throne in the year ending August 25, A.D. 436.]
