History
Nagardhan Plates Of Svamiraja : (Kalachuri) Year 322 (=573 AD)[1] ...The plates were issued from Nandivardhana (नान्दीवार्द्धन) (L.1) by Nannarâja (नन्नराज) (L.2) , who meditated on the feet of his brother Svâmirâja (स्वामिराज) (L.1-2) , during whose reign the grant was made.
The royal family to which Svâmirâja and Nannarâja belonged is not specified in the present grant, but since these names occur in two early Rashtrakuta [p.613]: records discovered in Vidarbha, viz , the Tivarakhed1 and the Multai2 plates, with the slight change of Svâmirâja into Svamikarâja, it seems very likely that the princes mentioned here also belonged to the same royal lineage.3

3. Svâmirâja and his brother Nannarâja were not, however, identical with Svâmikaràja and, his son Nannarâja. The latter flourished at the close of the seventh and in the beginning of the eighth century A C as shown by the Multai plates dated, Saka 631 (709-10 A C). The Tivarakhed plates, which give the earlier date of Saka 553 (631-32A C ), are undoubtedly spurious. The present grant, on the other hand, was made in 573 AC, more than a hundred and thirty-five years before, as shown below.
