## Summary

This is a Sanskrit copper-plate record issued from Kāñchīpura in the 2nd
year of the reign of the Pallava king, Mahārāja Kumāravishṇu (III) who
was the son of Mahārāja Buddhavarman, the grandson of Mahārāja
Kumāravishṇu (II) and the great-grandson of Mahārāja Skandavarman. The
genealogy[1] adopted by Rao Bahadur Krishnamacharlu is here followed.
The two previous kings of the name Kumāravishṇu were the father and son
of Skandavarman. The object of the present grant is to record the royal
gift of a field in the village Chendalūra in Kavachakārabhōga, a
subdivision of Kammāṅka-rāshṭra, to a Brāhmaṇa named Bhavaskandatrāta of
the Kauṇḍinya-gōtra and the Chhandōga-sūtra.
