The subjoined inscriptions engraved on a set of four copper-plates received by the Assistant Archaeological Superintendent for Epigraphy, Madras, from M. R. Ry. M. Rarnakrishna Kavi Garu, M.A., Assistant Curator, Government Oriental Manuscript Library, Madras, in the year 1917. They are included in Appendix A of the Annual Report on Epigraphy, Madras, as C. P. No. 6 on 1916-17 and described in a slip attached to the impression as follows: "These are four copper-plates oblong in shape and bearing a ring hole or about 1/2" in diameter at about 9/10" from the proper right margin. They have writing on the faces in all, the first and the last plates being blank on the outer faces. All the engraved faces have very slightly perceptible rims. The plates have an average thickness of about 1/10" and measure about 6 1/3" in breadth and a little over 2" in height. It is much to be registered that the seal of this record, the dynasty of which is not known, is missing."(R. S. Panchamukhi)
