A COPPER-PLATE GRANT OF MUMMUNIRAJA : SAKA 971.
55
The village granted was Kilchchhita. It was in the Mandaraja district. To the east there was the gri-Enaral hill and rivulets running from it. To the north was the Nimvā village, to the west the Matara village and to the south the Sāmvina river. None of these places can be identified at present.
The grant was made to twelve Brahmins (a list of whom is given below) to enable them to carry on their religious duties. Among the donees there were Brahmins who had emigrated from Gauda, Madhyadēsa and Lata. They belonged to various götras and sākhas. Some of these names are given in the vernacular ending in aiya. The grant contains towards the end the approval of Mummuņirāja, son of Vajjadadēva.
