चौलक्य भीमदेव … तामपत्र (वि सं १२६३)

Summary

This Gujarati article examines a copper‑plate charter (tāmrapatra) issued by the Caulukya (Solanki) king Bhīmadeva in Vikrama Saṃvat 1263. The charter records a grant of land and privileges to a Brahmin or institution and includes a genealogy of the Caulukya dynasty. The author transliterates the Sanskrit text written in Nāgarī script and provides a running Gujarati translation. He analyses the charter’s formulaic components – salutation, lineage, grant, imprecatory verses – and notes how it resembles and differs from other Solanki grants. Historical commentary situates the grant in the context of Bhīmadeva’s reign and discusses its implications for dating regional events and understanding land tenure patterns.
