[9] After Traillokyachandra, Raja Srichandra ascended the throne, taking the titles "Paramsaugata",[5] "Parameshwar", "Parambhattārak" and "Mahārājādhirāj".
[9] In 1958, a copperplate named "Chandrapur Shāsana" was found in Paschimbhag village in the then Moulvibazar Mahakuma of Sylhet District (currently Panchgaon Union, Rajnagar Upazila[13]).
[3] Shyamapada Kabyatirtha, a resident of a nearby village, collected the copperplate and, in 1961, gave it to Aminur Rashid Chowdhury, a local newspaper editor and member of the Sylhet Historical and Archaeological Society.
[8] According to the inscription, Traillokyachandra protected Lālāmbī by defeating the Kamboja attackers of Samatata who came from the forest of the Lalmai hills.
[Note 5][7] According to Select Inscription: Bearing on Indian History and Civilization, edited by Dineshchandra Sircar, the first 20 patakas (about 500 acres) are given to the Upadhyay (professor or teacher) or abbot of the monastery named Pratibaddha Chandra.
[7] However, the nearby villages, Khemasahasra (Kshemasahasra), Bālisahasra and Mahasahasra, are believed to take their names from the concept of Sahasra, or "thousand Brahmins".
[18] Additionally, the existence of an ancient river port named Indeshwar Naukabandha[Note 6][18] in the central Shrihatta can be traced from the inscription.
[7] In 1961, Kamalakanta Gupta deciphered the inscription with the help of collector Aminur Rashid Chowdhury and the Sylhet Historical and Archaeological Society.
[2] Ahmad Hasan Dani, founder of the Bangladesh Asiatic Society, also deciphered the inscription and translated it into English.
On 13 August 2017, it was given to the Bhasha Sainik Matin Uddin Ahmed Museum, located in the Central Muslim Sahitya Sangsad building near Dargah Gate, Sylhet.
[5] The inscription affirms that Traillokyachandra and his son Srichandra extended their rule up to Kamarupa (present-day Assam) in north-eastern India.
[12] Srichandra also campaigned against the Gauda Kingdom and helped to restore the empire of Pala emperor Gopala III.
[Note 8][12] The inscription administratively includes Chandrapur in the Pundravardhanbhukti and thus affirms the inclusion of the north-eastern region of Srihatta to the Pundravardhana.
There was a higher education institution named Chandrapur University[22] in the then Shrihatta (assumed location at Sagarnal in Juri, Moulvibazar[Note 9][11]), which was older than Oxford, Cambridge or even Jagaddala Vihara.
[10][22][6] Chaturvedas, Chāndra grammar, Hindu Shastra, Kauṭilya's Arthashastra,[23] Hetuvidya, medicine, astrology, surgery, metallurgy, and phonetics were taught in the university.
[Note 10][10][6][11] Suniti Kumar Chatterji, in a letter to Kamalakanta Gupta, expressed his opinion that Chandrapur University was a high-quality institution like Mahasthangarh or Taxila.
[13] Moreover, Kamalakanta Gupta, in his article, "Maharaja Shrichondrer Nobolobdho Prachin (Paschimbhag) Tamrashashon" (The Newly Discovered [Paschimbhag] Copperplate inscription of Maharaja Srichandra), published in 1962, mentioned an administrative city named "Shrichandrapur" or "Chandrapur" in Chandrapur Vishaya where the vishayapati (the district administrator or ruler of a Vishaya) may had lived.
Despite being a Buddhist, Srichandra donated a large property of Chandrapur and related Vishayas to the Hindu Brahmins and their monasteries by the name of Gautama Buddha.
