c8.s2.t10.9

Epigraphic records were written during the late medieval period in this area mostly in Sanskrit and only rarely in Bengali.⁷ Thus a few copper-plate grants, such as those issued by king Govindamāṇikya (15th century) of Tripura,⁸ are principally written in Bengali, although many of the charters issued by the Tripura kings including the successors of Govindamāṇikya, e.g. Kṛṣṇamāṇikya (17th century), are written mainly in Sanskrit.⁹
