n early India, land possessed great value and the gift of an estate was a marker of status. The earliest inscriptions recording royal land grants were issued during Satavahana rule. But the practice truly grew in scope from the fourth century CE. By the 5th-6th centuries, ruling dynasties across the subcontinent, as well as their subordinates and feudatories were all engaged in making such grants. This phenomenon cut across dynastic boundaries, reflecting new modes of expression and a whole new political economy.

Land grant charters were usually engraved on sheets of hammered copper. They are described as tamrapatta, a ‘plate of copper’ ortamrashasana, ‘an order in copper’. If the text of the grant was long, then several copper sheets were used (often resembling leaves in a manuscript) and were bound together with a royal seal and ring.
