v3.c43.102
On account of the great value attached to copper-plate grants as documents of title, there were great temptations to forge them. In the Madhuban copper-plate of Harṣa (E. I. vol. VII. p. 155 at p. 158) reference is made to a grant fabricated by a certain brāhmaṇa named Vāmarathya about a village called Somakuṇḍakā. Manu IX. 232 prescribes death as the penalty for fabricators of royal charters. Vide Fleet on 'Spurious Indian Records' in I. A. vol. 30, p. 201.
