Kandulapalem/Tuṇḍi Charter of Vikramēndravarman II, year 14
This set of 5 copper plates were found by Boppana Narasimhamurti garu, a landlord in the village of Kandulapalem, whilst digging in a field. The plates are secured together with a ring and seal.
The charter records the donation of the village of Tuṇḍi on the bank of Cheyyeru to the Brāhmaṇa Swāmi Śarma, son of Rudraśarma of the Kauṇḍiṇyasa gotra of the Āpastamba sūtra and a resident of Āki. The donation was made by Vikramēndravarman, who is referred to in the inscription as Vikramēndra bhaṭṭārakavarma and is described as the son of Indravarman, the grandson of Vikramēndra Bhaṭṭārakavarma, who is described as an ornament to the family of the Viṣṇukundins and the Vākāṭas, and the great-grandson of Mādhavavarman who performed 11 Asvamedha sacrifices.
The charter was issued from an army camp on the 1st day of Grīṣma-pakṣa in the 14th year of Vikramēndravarman’s reign.
