The Pahcimbhag copperplate inscription, Srichandra Paschimbhag copperplate inscription[1] or simply Chandrapur inscription is a copperplate inscription issued in 935 by Srichandra, the second king of the Chandra Dynasty of south-east Bengal. The inscription was discovered in the village of Paschimbhag, Moulvibazar district (then a Mahakuma).[4] It is one of 12 known copperplate inscriptions by Chandra Dynasty kings.[2] The inscription is mainly a deed of donation, in which Srichandra grants lands for many Brahmins[5] and for nine monasteries in the Sylhet region, which formed Chandrapur University, named after Srichandra.[6] It includes a detailed description of the Chandra kingdom and the Palas and Kamboja Pala rulers of Bengal and refers to the society of pre-medieval Bengal.[7][8]
