            This copper plate is really linked to the Ruchida Plates of Mahābhavagupta, Year 8 INSSOmavamsin00039. Indeed, in addition to share a large part of their text, these two plates present some particular features : 
            1. First, both of them are attached by a ring whose seal represents a standing bull and a crescent moon. However none of the preserved seals belonging to this dynasty uses this standing bull. For those which the drawing is still legible, one can recognize a woman seated on a lotus and flanked by two elephants. 
2. Second, these two grants are introduced by a verse paying homage to the deity named Puruṣottama and Śiva.
3. Third, the issuer refers to his predecessor only with the coronation name without royal titles associated to the predecessor.
4. Fourth the long compound used in the Somavaṁśin Dynasty and consisting on royal titles + Coronation name of the predecessor  + pādānudhyāta +  Royal titles + coronoation name of the issuer is here replaced by the compound beginning by mātāpitr̥pādānudhyāta 
5. Fifth the dimension of the plate, the palaeography and the disposition of the binding hole are all atypical
6. And sixth we find a particular prose sentence at the end 
a final verse craving for the indulgence of the learned readers

Beyond these specific features, these two copper plates are really connected each other because they share a common text and were composed by the same writer Rudradatta -->
