c19.4

The tract south of the Kushiāra was often under the kings of Tippera. According to a document purporting to be a copy of two old copper-plates (no longer available) found in the possession of a Brāhman who claimed to be a descendant of one of the original grantees, Dharmaphā, and Sudharmaphā, kings of the mountains of Tippera, made to certain Brāhmans grants of land situated, in the former case, between the Kushiāra, Barāk and Hāskātā rivers, and in the latter, on both banks of the Manu. The kings in question were the eighth and ninth rulers of Tippera according to the local *Rājmāla*, of which an analysis has been given by the Rev. J. Long.*
