History

Riddhapur plates of 19th year of Prabhavatigupta

Riddhapur plates of 19th year of Prabhavatigupta[2] were issued by Prabhāvatigupta, the chief queen of the Vakataka Maharaja Rudrasena II and the mother of the Vâkataka Maharaja Damodarasena-Pravarasêna in the 19th regnal year of the Vâkataka king Pravarasena II. (p.33)

The plates were issued from the foot-prints of the lord of Ramagiri (रामगिरि) who is evidently identical with Ramachandra, an incarnation of Vishnu. The object of the inscription is to record the grant, by Prabhâvatï, of a field together with a house and four huts of farmers in Ashvatthanagara (अश्वत्थनगर) which lay in the mārga (subdivision) of Koshika. The donees are not mentioned by name, but are described as Brahmanas. (p.34)

Asvatthanagara (अश्वत्थनगर) has been identified with Asatpur in the Achalpur tahsil of the Amaravati District of Vidarbha. (p.34)

Kosika, the headquarters of the mārga in which Asvatthanagara was situated, cannot, however, be located in its neighborhood. (p.34)
