The Pallava Dynasty is one of the mysteries of Indian history. According to the research, Virakuracharman (3rd Quarter of 2nd Century) was the first Pallava king who ruled the South India landscape between the River Krishna and River Vadapennai.

According to the Historians, Archaeologists and The Scholars of Ancient history, G. Jouveau Dubreuil in his books, “The Pallavas” and “Ancient History of the Deccan”, Dineschandra Sircar in his book, “The Successors of the Satavahanas” and Mr. B. Lewis Rice penned “ Mysore and Coorg from the Inscriptions”, have concluded that a Pallava, who married the daughter of the Naga king, Sivaskanda Naga Satakarni and thus became the First King of Pallava dynasty. The son born of this union was Siva Skandavarman, who was the first Pallava king of Kanchi.



Epigraphy
To demonstrate the early Pallava Dynasty, epigraphy plays an important role. The Epigraphy gives the near accurate information with the names in scripted with a slightly different alphabet combination.


 * Rock Inscription- Jaganath Rock Inscription - We learn from the Girnar inscription, known as Juganath Rock Inscription, that Suvisakha, who was the minister of The Western Satrap, Rudradaman in 150 A.D was a Pahlava. Suvisakha, son of Kulaipa was ruling Anarta and Surastra under that great Saka king, Rudradaman. The identity of names leads us to think that the ancient king of Kanchi belonged to the same family as the minister of Rudradaman. He lived in 150 A.D. and we believe Pallava king reigning at Kanchi in since 225 A.D (1st Quarter of Third century).
 * Copper plate Inscription - The Velurpalaiyam plates say that Virakurcha who simultaneously with (the hand of) the daughter of the chief of serpents, “grasped the complete insignia of royalty”, that is to say, that his predecessors were not kings and that Virakurcha was the first Pllava King. It is noted that the name Skandavarman given in the Vayalur inscription to be the second Pallava king (Virakurcha being the first) is also the most ancient name known to history.   The Vayalur inscription and Velupaliyam inscription shows the substantial evidence to prove the Hierarchy of Pallava Dynasty. The Vayalaur and Velupaliyam epigraphy exactly coincides the reign of Pallava’s.
