The Shushuniya script is important for two reasons. First, as King Chandravarma himself was a devotee of Vishnu, the subjects also became Vishnu worshipers out of royal loyalty. Second, the Shushunya inscription testifies to the donation of land for the service of Vishnu. Jaydeep Mukhopadhyay writes that the financial prosperity of Pakhanna on the southern bank of the Yaidamodar dates back to the pre-Maurya period.

The Susunia hills have historical importance as well. Susunia visitors will observe a rock writing that is measured to be the ‘oldest’ rock inscription of the West Bengal state. According to chronological views, Raja Chandravarman builds his fort in this place but there is no hint of that fort at here. The rock inscriptions of 4-th century AD was reserved in the place named Pushkarana. Pushkarana or Pakhanna was the Capital of Chandravarman’s empire. People consider that Raja was murdered against a battle with Chandra Gupta Maurya. The inscription is an ASI protected site. The ancient rock inscription made of two parts and a important ‘Chakra’(wheel) with blazing edges. The first part pointed to that the writing is the work of Raja Chandravarman and the second one states that the community of Choshagrama was transferred to Chakrasvamin.
