A History of Assam c8.48

c8.48

Bala Varman dated the grant recorded in the Nowgong copper-plate from Hāruppesvara. He rightly called this place his ancestral camp, for it was, as noted above, already the capital in the time of his great great grandfather Harjjara. There is now no trace of any place of this name, but from the Tezpur rock inscription and the locality where the copper-plates of Vana Māla and Bala Varman were found we may conjecture that it was east of Gauhāti and, possibly, at Tezpur.*
