SII 12.3: original edition by V. Venkatasubba Ayyar – Section I. No. 3. (C.P. No. 4 of 1915-1916). ŌṀGŌḌU GRANT OF SIṀHAVARMAN: 4TH YEAR.

Editor: Emmanuel Francis.

Identifier: DHARMA_INSSIIv12p0i0003.

Summary: This is a Sanskrit charter issued by Dharmamahārāja Siṁhavarman¹ of the Bhāradvāja-gōtra, in his 4th year, in the month of Vaiśākha, śukla-paksha, pañchamī, registering a gift of the village Ōṁgōḍu in Karmmā-rāshṭra to the scholar Dēvaśarman, a resident of Kuṇḍūr, who belonged to the Kāśyapa-gōtra and Chhandōga-sūtra. As the same village was the object of grant in the previous charter of Vijaya-Skandavarman,² it is possible that that donee, Gōlaśarman had probably died without issue and thus necessitated its reconferment on Dēvaśarman of the Kāśyapa-gōtra, who was probably a member of the collateral branch of the original donee’s family. The king is stated to have been the son of Yuva-Mahārāja Vishṇugōpa, grandson of Mahārāja Skandavarman and great-grandson of Mahārāja Vīravarman. As the characters in which the record is incised are later, i.e., of about the 7th century A.D., it has been surmised that it is a later copy of an earlier document.
