SARABHAVARAM PLATES OF THE LORD OF CHIKURA.
No. 6.]
a master of two Vēdas, was versed in the performance of sacrificial rites, and was a Vājasaneyin. The record is addressed to the inhabitants of the village granted. The inscription is dated in the 6th year. Thus the record, with neither the name of the king nor the dynasty to which he belonged nor even the time at which he lived, adds nothing to our store of knowledge. Its only importance consists in its paleography.
