c6.s1.39
Two sets of copper plates discovered at Dêvagiri (Ind. Ant., Vol. VII, page 35 and page 37) are dated in the 3rd and 4th years of the reign of Mrigêśa; the Halsi plates (Ind. Ant., Vol. VI, p, 24) and the Hire-Sakuna plates (Ep. Carn., VII, page 12), are dated in the 8th year of the same reign. The Hiṭṇahabbâgilu (Ep. Carn., IV, p. 136) and Tâḷguṇḍa records are not dated. The last document (Mysore Archæological Report for 1910-11, page 35, and Plate IV, 2) mentions the wife of Mrigêśa, who was born in the Kaikeya family, and was called Prâbhâvati. In the first 8 years of his reign, about 480 A. D. Mrigêśa utprooted the Gaṅgas, and was a very fire of destruction of the Pallavas (Halsi plates, Ind. Ant., VI, p. 24). Mrigêśa reigned at Vaijayanti. It is probable that he did not reign long, since the documents we have got do not go beyond the 8th year of his reign.
