IN00190 Mandhal Charter of Prthivisena II, Year 10
This set of five copper plates were discovered during archaeological excavations undertaken at Māṇḍhaḷ by the Department of Ancient Indian History, Culture and Archaeology, Nagpur University. These plates were discovered with two other Vākāṭaka copper plate charters (IN00183 and IN00189). Each charter was complete with ring and seal attached. This charter, inscribed on four plates, records the donation of the village Govasāhikā to four Brāhmaṇas, including two – Maheśvarasvāmin and Brahmasvāmin – who are also mentioned in the Māṇḍhaḷ copper plate charter of Pṛithivīṣeṇa II, year 2 (IN00189). Shastri (1997: 99-103) argues that the three plates found at this site record donations by two Vākāṭaka kings to two generations of the same family.
