Indian Epigraphy c11.t6.15

c11.t6.15

The name of the place, from which a grant was issued, was sometimes mentioned after the *maṅgala* or invocation. Charters were generally issued from the capital of the donor and, in such cases, the place of issue was often omitted as it was taken for granted. Sometimes the place of issue happens to be a royal camp, either in the course of a military expedition or of a pilgrimage, and it was specifically mentioned in the charter.¹ In some cases, the place of issue is mentioned in connection with the donor’s name, either before or after it, and not immediately after the *maṅgala* or invocation at the beginning of a document.²
