INIG1282a  āṣāḍha śudi 9 śukravāra Gwalior fort (Gwalior). In the bed of Gaṅgolā tāl. 10 lines, nāgarī, Sanskrit. Records the desilting of the tanks Gogataḍāga and Rājasaras on Gopādri by Talhaṇadevikā, queen of Vigraharāja and mother of the ruler. Further mentions Aruṁdhatī, daughter of Mithilā and wife of king Malayakṣitīśa. The composer was Ānakichūka, son of Yāśodeva and the engraver was ṭha˚ (i.e. ṭhakkur) Vāghadeva. At the end mentions Jivādevī as the queen of the ruler and as the mother of the prince Harivarman and Jayavarman.

This set of 8 copper plates were discovered in the village of Kondamudi and were secured together with a ring and seal. The seal is stamped with an image of a trident, a box, a crescent moon and a circular legend which is written in different characters to those found on the copper plates.

The charter records that Mahārāja Jayavarman donated the village of Pāṇṭūra in the district of Kūdūra to 8 Brāhmaṇas. The donated village was split into 24 shares and divided between the Brāhmaṇas as follows:
Śarvaguptārya, a householder of the Gautama gotra – 8 shares
Savigija of the Tānavya gōtra – 3 shares
Goginaja – 3 shares
Bhavannaja of the Kauṇinya gōtra – 2 shares
Rudavennhuja of the Bhāradvāja gōtra – 1 ½ shares
Tśvaradattārya of the Kārshṇāyana gōtra – 1 ½ shares
Rudaghōshārya of the Aupamanyava gōtra – 1 share
Skandarudrārya of the Kauśika gōtra – ½ share
(This division does not total 24 shares however).

The charter was issued from Kūdūra on the 1st day of the 1st fortnight of winter in the 10th year of Jayavarman’s reign. The donated village was made as brahmadēya and Jayavarman is described in the inscription as belonging to the Bṛhatphalāyana gōtra and a worshipper of Mahēśvara, a form of Śiva. The donation was made to increase the donor’s life span and to secure victory in war.

Sircar, Altekar and Majumdar date Jayavarma’s reign to around the end of the 3rd century and the beginning of the 4th century AD, suggesting he was a contemporary of the early Gupta kings.
