Shilabhattarika
Recently, researchers at the Pune-based Bhandarkar Oriental Research Institute (BORI) have decoded some copper based inscriptions belonging to Chalukyan Empire.
- The research analyzed a copperplate charter consisting of 5 copper plates dating back to the reign of Badami Chalukyan ruler Vijayaditya (696-733 CE).
- The plates were held together by a copper ring that bore the varaha (boar) seal, which is the trademark of the Badami Chalukyas.
- The Sanskrit text inscribed in late-Brahmi script contained a total of 65 lines.
- The inscriptions have revealed that the celebrated Sanskrit poetess Shilabhattarika was a daughter of Chalukyan Emperor, Pulakeshin II of Badami (in modern Karnataka).
