The set of five copper plates were found when a field was being dug near the village of Mirēgaon. The inscription records the donation of the village Jalapura-vāṭaka to support a group of Brāhmaṇas by Prabhāvatī Guptā in the 20th year of the reign of her son, Pravarasena II. The contents of the plates are the same as the Ṛiddhapur plates except for the details of donations. The plate was drafted by a minister named Candra.
