§ 182. The genealogy of the Early Pallavas can be reconstructed from their own documents on copperplates which are copious.² For almost every second generation we have a copperplate. They have the system of reciting pedigree up to the fourth generation in each case. The only exception to this rule are the charters of Śiva-Skandavarman, as he had not completed four generations of kings. I note below the grants and the authorities issuing them in their chronological order.
