If such is the case, we will have to assume that the present plates are a later copy of an originally genuine grant, and therefore their value as a record describing contemporary incidents cannot be much diminished. The Samangad plates in that case will stand on the same level as the Konnur Inscription of Amoghavarsha. The latter record was no doubt not written in S'aka 782, but it has been shown recently by Dr. D. R. Bhandarkar ( E. I., XVIII, p. 235 ff. ) that the record is a genuine copy of an earlier grant. - [Previous: c8.25](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.altekar-1934.c8.25) - [Next: c8.27](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.altekar-1934.c8.27) - [Up: c8](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.altekar-1934.c8) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.altekar-1934.c8.26](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.altekar-1934.c8.26) · Pramāṇa
