Abstract: In the Ancient Indian system, a new consciousness arises by studying its various forms and characteristics for which the creative system of land grant was established. It becomes essential to study various aspects of land rights along with social and economic analysis in this process. Generally, what were the possibilities of the circumstances under which land grant would have been made and with which elements its constitutional relation was established, it becomes essential to pay attention to all the aspects. The elements which are related to the land grant are seen as follows. Donor, donee, donated land, official class, political tax and occasion and purpose of grant. In the last part, in most of the grants, the opponents are cursed and the name of the manager (official who made the will) and the scribe is written. In the description of the donor, there is a description of his tradition up to his (usually five or six) generations and many times his lineage is established with the Surya or Chandravansh to show the importance of his lineage specialty. Various characteristics of the donor are described in the grant, especially his victories are mentioned, but there is no description of defeat. The description of his circumstances refers to political, religious and some important achievements. A special trend is seen in the characteristics of donations, that is, embellishing the donations made by him for the sake of religion, i.e., exaggerating them. In the process of grant, the donor's capital and his victory camp (Vijay Stambh) are exaggerated.
