History of the Pallavas of Kanchi c16.22

c16.22

Language and script: Same as above. The grant consists of the beginning of a Sanskrit inscription engraved on one side of a copper-plate. The name of the donor of the plate is lost but the record gives the name of his great-grandfather—Śrī Vīrakōrchavarman—the laudatory verses attributed to him agreeing literally with those attributed to the Pallava kings Skandavarman I and Skandavarman II. The king’s order was addressed from Vijaya-Daśanapura.
