India history and geography
Source: What is India: Epigraphia Indica volume XXXI (1955-56)Bappaśarman, son of Yajñaśarman, is the name of an ancient king mentioned in the “Pedda-Dugam plates of Śatrudamana” (5th century A. D.). The donees were two Brāhmaṇas named Bappaśarman and Śarvaśarman who were the sons of Yajñaśarman and residents of Paṭṭuvagrāma. They belonged to the Kauṇḍinya gotra and were students of the Taittirīya school of the Yajurveda. The gift villages were made a brāhmaṇa-deya and granted to the donees as a dvija-bhoga. The three villages constituted three vṛittis or shares, two of which were granted to Śarvaśarman and one to Bappaśarman.
These plates (mentioning Bappaśarman) were discovered in the course of digging the earth for the foundation of a house at the village of Pedda-Dugam in the Narasannapet Taluk of the Srikakulam District, Andhra State. It was issued to the villagers headed by Brāhmaṇas and others, residing at the three localities called Duhāgrāma, Vasuvāṭaka and Govāṭaka.
