132 Blochmann — Note on a new King of Bengal. [July, 



sent also an excellent set of rubbings of the Doholdig'hi Inscriptions, Dinaj- 

 piir, which were published in the Journal for this year (Pt. I, p. 105), and 

 has promised to favor the Society with a note on the locality where the in- 

 scriptions are taken from. 



The Kalnah inscription states that the Mosque was founded during the 

 reign of ^AUuddin Ahd Muzaffar Firuz Shah, son of Nugrah Shah, A. H., 

 939. 



The reign of this king cannot have been of long duration, and it may 

 be that he only reigned in Western Bengal. The histories extend the 

 reign of his father Nu9rah Shah to 910, A. H., and then mention Mahmiid 

 Shah, but make no mention of this Firdz Shah (II.), whose name has hither- 

 to been fomid on no inscription or coin. 



Arrangements have been made to secure the stone of this interesting 

 inscription for the Indian Museum. 



Mr. Blochmann also mentioned that he lately received a reading of 

 the inscription on Shah Nafah's Dargah at Munger, according to which the 

 Dargah was built in A. H. 902, by Danial Shahzadah, son of Sultan Husain 

 Shah. A rubbing of this important inscription has been called for. If the 

 transcript is reliable, it would correct two facts, first, the beginning of Hu- 

 sain Shah's reign, which the histories commence from 905, A. H., and, second^ 

 ly, the name of his son, which Prinsep's Antiquities (Thomas's Edition, 

 Useful Tables, p. 273) give as " Dulal Grhazij son of Hosain Shah." 



The meeting then adjourned.
