ṣk is the name of an ancient king, as mentioned in the “Ghūmlī plates of ṣkdeva� (989 A. D.). ṣk who issued the charter under study calls himself s Rāṇaka, i.e. a feudatory ruler, without reference to his overlord. It is difficult to identify this overlord of ṣk ; but it is not impossible that he acknowledged the suzerainty of the Chaulukya king Mūlarāja who ruled between circa 961 and 996 A.D.

This inscribed copper plate (mentioning ṣk) was found in the course of digging operations at Ghūmlī in the former Navanagar State. The date corresponds to the 22nd April, 989 A.D. and it records the grant of a village made by Rāṇaka ṣkdeva surnamed Kuṃkumalola, for the merit of his parents, in favour of a Brāhmaṇa.
