Among the copper-plate grants of the time of the Rāṣṭrakūṭas, a few like the British Museum plates¹ (804 A.D.) of Govinda III are written in the Kannaḍa language. The Haldipur plates² of the Pallava chief Gopāla, who seems to have flourished in the 8th century A.D., are written partly in Sanskrit and partly in Kannaḍa. The Kalas inscription³ (930 A.D.) of the time of Govinda IV contains good specimens of Kannaḍa poetry in various metres. - [Previous: c8.s2.t2.5](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.epigraphy.sircar-1965.c8.s2.t2.5) - [Next: c8.s2.t2.7](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.epigraphy.sircar-1965.c8.s2.t2.7) - [Up: c8.s2.t2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.epigraphy.sircar-1965.c8.s2.t2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.epigraphy.sircar-1965.c8.s2.t2.6](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.epigraphy.sircar-1965.c8.s2.t2.6) · Pramāṇa
