**Indian Historical Quarterly, Vol-37, Issue no.-1-4, Page.241: {{tq|''Two copperplate grants discovered in the Goa territory on the westcoast reveal the existence of two kings named Chandravarman and Anirjitavarman who belonged to the Maurya dynasty. As both the grants are dated in the regnal years of the ruling kings, they cannot be equated with any known era. But. from the palaeographical point of view, they may be assigned to the 6th or 7th century A.D., the grant of Chandravarman being slightly earlier than that of Anirjitvarman. Both these rulers, who assume the epithet of Maharaja in their records, are not known from any other source, The charter of Chandravarman records the donation, by the king, of some lands to the Mabàvibára situated in Sivapura which is identified with the village bearing the same name near Chandor in Goa. The grant of Anirjitavarman, registers certain gifts, made by the king, to a Brahmana named Hastyarya. [t is issued from a a place called Kumara-dvipa which appears to be located somewhere in the Goa territory. These two records show that Chandravarman and Anirjtvarman were ruling somewhere in the Goa territory about the 6th-7th century A.D.''}}[https://archive.org/details/dli.calcutta.06453/page/241/mode/1up] -- [[Special:Contributions/54.37.9.163|54.37.9.163]] ([[User talk:54.37.9.163|talk]]) 18:46, 4 April 2024 (IST)
