And my reasons are as follows. (1) The copper-plate charter of A.D. 612 distinctly mentions Tagara as the actual residence of the grantee, the expression being, not (like analagous expressions in various other records) \*Tagara-vinirgata\*, "emigrated from Tagara," but \*Tagara-âdhivâsin\*, "inhabiting, or settled in, Tagara." (2) The charter has come to light from the possession of Jains at Haidarâbâd in the Nizâm's Dominions: but it did not belong to them originally; for, it was granted to a Brâhman of the Vâsishtha gôtra and the Taittirîya sâkhâ: it has, therefore, changed hands: in doing so, it may have travelled to any distance from the residence of its original owner: and there is, therefore, nothing to connect it with the neighbourhood of Haidarâbâd. - [Previous: c8.s18.56.1](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c8.s18.56.1) - [Next: c8.s18.56.3](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c8.s18.56.3) - [Up: c8.s18.56](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c8.s18.56) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c8.s18.56.2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c8.s18.56.2) · Pramāṇa
