One¹⁰ is the grant of a Mahârâja named Vijayanandivarman, the eldest son of the Mahârâja Chaṇḍavarman, of the Sâlaṅkâyana gôtra. The charter was issued from Veṅgîpura; it is dated in the seventh year of the reign of Vijayanandivarman; and the order contained in it is addressed to the villagers of Videṇûrapallikâ in the Kuduhâra or Kuḷuhâra viṣaya. Vijayanandivarman is described as meditating on the feet of Chitrarathasvâmin, and as being a paramabhâgavata or most devout worshipper of the Divine One (Viṣṇu). Mr. Foulkes has said that this has always been regarded as a Pallava record, and that there are circumstances which warrant its classification as such.¹¹
