Date
1704 at the earliest, since this is the internal date given for the last of the five land transactions recorded on the plate, dated respectively to the year Śaka 1616 (1694‒5 CE) and the year Tātu (1696‒7 CE) of the Jovian cycle for the first two, to the year Śaka 1618 (1696‒7 CE) and the year Vekutāṉiya (1698‒9 CE) of the Jovian cycle for the third, to the year Śaka 1621 (1699‒1700 CE) and the year Viṣa (i.e. Viṣu) (1701‒1702 CE) of the Jovian cycle for the fourth and to the year Cupāṉu (1703‒1704 CE) of the Jovian cycle for the fifth and last one. There is thus a discrepancy of two years between the Śaka and Jovian cycle years.
