Many facts connected with their origin and early history are, in the existing state of historical research, uncertain. Their chronology is yet in the process of construction, and the genealogical order of succession, in spite of the comparative abundance of copper-plate characters, cannot be regarded as having been finally settled. The question of their origin has baffled investigators, European and Indian alike. Ingenious suggestions and theories have been offered for the solution of this enigma by various scholars who occupied themselves with this work. - [Previous: c6.s2.17](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.gopalan-1928.c6.s2.17) - [Next: c7.s1.1](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.gopalan-1928.c7.s1.1) - [Up: c7](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.gopalan-1928.c7) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.gopalan-1928.c7.2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.gopalan-1928.c7.2) · Pramāṇa
