IPUR PLATES OF VISHNUVARDHANA JII.
59
The period of the reign of Vishnuvardhana III (A. D. 709-746) would suit this identification. A close connection between both dynasties might be gathered also from the fact that the panegyrical descriptions of kings in the Eastern Chalukya grants remind of those of some Pallava grants.
