But we may presume from palæographical indications that Vijayaskandavarman of the British Museum copper-plates succeeded Śivaskandavarman in the interval between A.D. 275 and 340. All that we know about this sovereign and his times is the information given in this record.² From this we learn that his queen was called Chārudēvi, and that the heir-apparent to the throne was called Buddhyankura, and that the father of Vijaya-Buddhavarman was called Vijayaskandavarman who is presumably identical with Śivaskandavarman of the earlier charters. The record registers a grant of land to the temple of Nārāyaṇa at the village of Dalūra in the division called Kūlimaharaṭha. This is, so far as we know, the earliest Pallava record mentioning a royal gift to the temples. We do not know anything about the political events during the reign of Buddhyankura who flourished in the years immediately following the death of Vijaya-Buddhavarman. The next member of the Pallava family is Viṣṇugopa well known as the Pallava contemporary of Samudragupta. - [Previous: c8.24](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.gopalan-1928.c8.24) - [Next: c8.26](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.gopalan-1928.c8.26) - [Up: c8](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.gopalan-1928.c8) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.gopalan-1928.c8.25](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.gopalan-1928.c8.25) · Pramāṇa
