Before entering into the details of the grant made by means of the present charter, it is necessary to refer to an important point in regard to the chronology of the Bhauma-Kara kings. The dates of the Bhauma-Kara records would suggest that the family ruled for about two centuries.
The recently discovered Baud plates of the quoen say that she was the daughtor of Svabhavntunga, who belonged to the race of the moon and was the lord of Kösala (apparently South Kosala), from queen Nrittīmahā. dēvi, daughter of Yakovriddhi. The grants were made at the request of Sasilökha (wife of Mahamandaladhipali Mangalakalasa), who was born in the Virāta family and was marriod into the Vrāgadi family, for the merit of the deceased father of the lady, in favour of tho Nännisvara temple (nainod after the load man). The gift land was situated in the Tamalakhanda virhayn within the Dandabhukti mandala (about the prosent Danton in the Midnapur District of West Bengal). Tho tom plo in question, which was a Saiva institution, acons to have been situated in the same area which was probably being ruled by the husband of Sakilekha.
