EPIGRAPHIA INDICA
suvarṇa was a major sacrifice ranking in importance with Agnishṭōma, Aśvamēdha, Rājasūya and
the like is clear from two passages[1] from Vālmīki’s Rāmāyaṇa. One of them states that
during Rāma’s peaceful rule hundreds of Asvamēdha and Bahusuvarṇa sacrifices were performed. The other relates that Mēghanāda performed the Agnishṭōma, Aśvamēdha, Bahusuvarṇaka,
Rājasūya, Gōmēdha, Vaishṇava and Māhēśvara sacrifices. Pulakēśin I (6th century A.D.), and
Kīrtivarman I (6th century A.D.)[2] of the Chāḷukya family of the Bādāmi performed the Bahusuvarṇa.
The Vishṇukuṇḍins also performed it.[3] Outside India king Mūlavarman of Borneo (c. 4-5th century
A. D.) set up a memorial yūpa pillar commemorating his celebration of the sacrifice.[4] Among the
Pallavas, Siṁhavarman of the present inscription appears to be the only king to have done it.
The charters of the Pallavas do not attribute the performance of this sacrifice to Narasiṁhavarman
with whom our Siṁhavarman has been sought to be identified, nor to any other king of the dynasty,
though speaking generally, they say that the Pallavas performed many sacrifices.
