The Grants
The Harsola copperplate grants were found at Harsola in district Ahmedabad in Gujarat. This is a pair of grants, each engraved on two plates.
- Grant A: grant to father
- Grant B: grant to son
The early parts of the text in the two grants is identical, although the two grants were obviously engraved in different hands. Apparently the grants were linked by a ring, with the royal seal (garuda) at the end of Grant A, which was placed after B.

Famous quotes containing the word grants:
“... liberty is the one thing no man can have unless he grants it to others.”
—Ruth Benedict (1887–1948)
“The ability to secure an independent livelihood and honorable employ suited to her education and capacities is the only true foundation of the social elevation of woman, even in the very highest classes of society. While she continues to be educated only to be somebody’s wife, and is left without any aim in life till that somebody either in love, or in pity, or in selfish regard at last grants her the opportunity, she can never be truly independent.”
—Catherine E. Beecher (1800–1878)
