Manahali Copperplate Inscription of Madanapāla, Year 8

Manahali Copperplate Inscription of Madanapāla, Year 8

Ryosuke Furui

Résumé

This article provides a revised edition of the Manahali copperplate inscription of Madanapala, dated year 8 of his reign (1151/52 ce), based on the digital photographs provided by The Asiatic Society. While the earliest of his three grants, the Rajibpur plate dated year 2, was jointly issued with Gopala IV, his nephew cum predecessor, the present grant was singularly issued by Madanapala. It has some features different from the other two grants issued earlier or later, of which the prominent are the appearance of Paupdravardhana as a name of bhukti which is otherwise called Pupdravardhana and the use of lunar date. These features could be connected with his attempt to assert the control over expanded territory and the superior position against both Gopala IV and Vijayasena, his contenders. The plate also attests to the attempt of Madanapala to consolidate his control through administrative and fiscal rearrangements.
