Inscription of the time of Prithvi Vigraha Bhattarika (Gupta year-250)

Inscription of the time of Prithvi Vigraha Bhattarika (Gupta year-250)

The inscription records the grant of a village called Ardhaka¬manduka together with another locality called Chandan Vataka in the Parakkala marga visaya of Maharaja Dharmaraja who was ruling at Padmakholi as a feudatory of Prithivi Vigraha Bhattarika, Governor of Kalingarastra, apparently forming a part of the Gupta rajya. The most important historical information supplied by this inscription is the spread of Gupta suzerainty over Kalinga country which was unknown from any other sources till the discovery of this grant.
