in tlie room of Va'nsavali, we read in one copy 

 Alans' A- RAJ A, and in anotlier Putra-ra'ja, and the 

 former is retained by Tieffenthaler. Vansa- 

 ra'ja, signifies the royal offsprini^, Putra-ra'ja 

 the royal children, and Van'saVali, offspring 

 or descendants, and also an account of them. The 

 two former are generally pronounced Ra ja-putras,

 *Sa'hvahana ------ 1 — or — 



Nara-va'hana ------ 100 



Vansa-rajas or Piitra rajas - - 1 00 



200 



Hence it appears, that originally 'Sal'iva'Hana 

 and Nara-va'hana, in this place, were considered 

 but as one individual. 



" Then will come 'Aditya, who will reign 55 

 years." His reign began the 185th year of 'Sal'iva'- 

 iiANA, and of the Christian era, according to my 

 copy; but in the year 201, according to the A i/ in 

 Ai-bcri. This is the Vicrama- Aditya, who was
