"पल्लव वंश" च्या विविध आवृत्यांमधील फरक

The history of the early Pallavas has not yet been satisfactorily settled. The earliest documentation on the Pallavas is the three copper-plate grants,<ref name="earlygrant">Now referred to as the ''Mayidavolu'', ''Hirahadagalli'' and the ''British Museum'' plates - Durga Prasad (1988)</ref> belonging to [[Skandavarman I]] and written in [[Prakrit]].<ref name=sastri91>Nilakanta Sastri, ''A History of South India'', p91</ref> Skandavarman appears to have been the first great ruler of the early Pallavas, though there are references to other early Pallavas who were probably predecessors of Skandavarman.<ref>Nilakanta Sastri, ''A History of South India'', pp91&ndash;92</ref>

 

 

In the reign of [[Simhavarman IV]], who ascended the throne in 436 BC, the fallen prestige of the Pallavas was restored. He recovered the territories lost to the [[Vishnukundin]]s in the north up to the mouth of the Krishna. The early Pallava history from this period onwards is furnished by a dozen or so copper-plate grants in [[Sanskrit]]. They are all dated in the regnal years of the kings.<ref name=sastri92>Nilakanta Sastri, ''A History of South India'', p92</ref>
