N. L. Rao has shown that this king belonged to the Maurya dynasty of the Konkan. The charter in question was issued by the Maurya Maharaja Anirjita-varman from Kumaradvipa in the 29th year of his reign. It seems that the Bhojas were subdued by the Mauryas who were themselves ousted by the Chalukyas of Badami. It has to be noticed that it was not the Bhojas but the Mauryas who stood in the way of Chalukya expansion in the seventh century.
The inscription is important as it introduces a hitherto unknown king of the Maurya dynasty, viz. Anirjitavarman who seems to have held sway somewhere in the western coast about the Goa territory about the 6th or 7th century A.D. Though it is difficult to identify Kumára-dvipa whence the charter was issued, it appears to have been located somewhere in this region. In this connection, we may notice another copper-plate inscription which is also reported to have been discovered in Goa and which belongs to the reign of a king named Chandravarman.......The relations between the two Maurya kings Anirjitavarman and Chandravarman with the Bhoja kings cannot be determined without further light on the subject. It may, however, be noted that, in the celebrated Athole inscription of Pulakésin dated in 634 A.D., the king’s father Krtivarman І is described as a night of death to the Mauryas, Naļas and Kadambas ‘of whom the Mauryas were ruling in the Koñkan stated later in the record. Mangalesa and Pulekésin II also are creditéd with success against these Mauryas.
The Konkan Mauryas seem to have ruled over it from Kumardwip or modern Kumbharjuve island of the island of Goa or Tiswadi taluka. We have got two names of these Maurya rulers, Anirjitavarman and Chandravarman, who belonged to the sixth or seventh century A.D.
It records the order of the illustrious Anirjitavarman, the Mauryya Mahārāja, issued from the victorious Kumāradvipa, to the inhabitants and officials of twelve villages (dvādaśa-gramya). The order announces that a gift of certain lands, tank, garden and house-site was made by the king to a Brahmaņa, named Hastyärya, of the Harita gotra. The gift was made with the object of securing the welfare or final beatitude (si[*]irčyas-ärttham) of Nagapadda, Malladatta, Achala and the king himself. The inscription is dated the 10th day of the 7th fort- night of He[manta"] in the 29th year, apparently of the king's reign. This mode of recording dates in seasons and fortnights is not usually met with in inscriptions of a period later than the 6th century. Consequently this record may be placed in the 6th century, and palaeography does not militate against this view. In the Aihole inscription of Pulikěšin II, his father Kirtivarman I is stated to have been the night of doom to the Nalas, Mauryas and Kadambas. Pulikēšin II himself claims a decisive victory over the Mauryas in the Końkaņas. Evidently it is to this Maurya family that Anirjitavarman belonged.
