History of the Pallavas of Kanchi c8.27

c8.27

The connection of the Pallava kings of the Prakrit charters and those of the Sanskrit charters is not clear. According to some scholars the dynasties of the Prakrit charters and the Sanskrit charters are distinctly different, and not directly connected. According to others¹ all the members of the copper-plates and the stone inscriptions whether they are written in Prakrit, Sanskrit or Tamil are to be connected with one dynasty only the most ancient member of which was Bappa. Future research and the discovery of fresh copper-plate charters or other records alone can solve this question finally.
