In 1917 ("The Pallavas", page 23,) I drew the attention of the readers to a document which I can give us the key to this problem : verse 6 of the Vēlūrpālaiyam plates, (S. I. I., Vol II, Part V; page 510) in giving a summary of the history of the Pallavas, says that the first member of this dynasty that became king, got the throne by marrying the daughter of a Nāga king and that the son born of this union was named Skanda. Can this tradition that we find in the Pallava documents be verified by authentic history?
