Chamba region in western Himalayas has attracted the attention of researchers after decipherment of hundreds of inscriptions spanning the period between early eighth to eighteenth century. The present article is a fresh attempt to study the epigraphs to probe into the arrival of the brāhmaṇa community from different parts of the country at different time spans into Chamba. How this arrival in periodical waves affected the political and religious milieu of the region is the focus of the present study. An interaction of pre-existing indigenous elements of polity and religion with the new dominating Brāhmaṇical elements ultimately legitimized the position of the kings within the Brāhmaṇical order, in reciprocity for the land grants these brāhmaṇas received.

In epigraphs, we notice the dominance of brāhmaṇa writers with specific indication of their gotra and sometimes Vedic affiliation that has been summarized in this research through tabular data for an easy understanding of their content and context. Our analysis throws light on new information with regard to migration, grants-in-perpetuity and the Brahmanization of the royal house of Chamba between the eighth and eighteenth centuries.

在破译了跨越 8 世纪早期至 18 世纪期间的数百个铭文后，喜马拉雅山西部的尚巴地区引起了研究人员的注意。本文是研究碑文的新尝试，以探讨不同时间跨度内来自该国不同地区的婆罗门社区到达昌巴。这种周期性波的到来如何影响该地区的政治和宗教环境是本研究的重点。预先存在的政体和宗教的土著元素与新的占主导地位的婆罗门元素的相互作用最终使国王在婆罗门教团中的地位合法化，作为对这些婆罗门收到的土地赠与的互惠。

在题词中，我们注意到婆罗门作家的主导地位，具体表明了他们的 gotra 和有时吠陀的隶属关系，本研究通过表格数据对这些内容进行了总结，以便于理解其内容和背景。我们的分析揭示了有关 8 世纪和 18 世纪之间迁徙、永久赠款和尚巴王室婆罗门化的新信息。
