SII 12.6: original edition by V. Venkatasubba Ayyar – Section I. No. 6. (C.P. No. 3 of 1913-14). CHURĀ GRANT OF VIJAYA-VISHṆUGŌPAVARMAN.

Editor: Emmanuel Francis.

Identifier: DHARMA_INSSIIv12p0i0006.

Summary: This copper-plate grant belongs to the reign of Dharmma-Mahārāja Vijaya-Vishṇugōpavarman (II), son of Siṁhavarman, grandson of Mahārāja Vishṇugōpavarman and great-grandson of Kandavarman(i.e., Skandavarman) and it registers the grant of the village Churā in Karmmā-rāshṭra to a Brahman named Chēsamiśarman of the Kāśyapa-gōtra and a resident of Kuṇḍūr.¹ The donee was the son of Dvēdaya-Vṛiddhaśarman and the grandson of Vishṇuśarman. The record bears no regnal year and was issued on the day of Uttarāyaṇa from the royal camp at Vijaya-Palātkaṭa (i.e., Palakkaḍa). As the Sanskrit language used in the record is faulty and as the characters in which it is engraved are slightly later than those of the Māṅgaḷūr and Pīkira grants of Siṁhavarman, it is possible that this is a later copy of an earlier document.
