1658 A. D., or his successor Aurangzib. It was quite clear, however, 

 that the Nagavamsavali was wrong in making Durjana S'ala a contem- 

 porary of Aurangzib ; for the former's reign commenced about 1590 A. D. 

 when Akbar was on the throne of Dehli. His imprisonment in Gwaliyar, 

 accordingly, must be placed in the time of Akbar or of Jahangir, the 

 latter of whom commenced to reign in 1605. This agreed with a state- 

 ment of Babii R. D. Haldar, that the coins presented by him were tra- 

 ditionally said " to have been brought to Chutiya Nagpur by the followers 

 of Durjana S'ala from Gwaliyar, where he was incarcerated during the 

 time of Akbar or Jahangir." The person Hari Nath, mentioned in Ram 

 Shah's inscription, was according to the Nagavamsavali, the minister 

 of Ram Shah as well as of Raghunath Shah. He was referred to in the 

 latter Shah's inscription as the Brahmachdri, a title by which he was also 

 mentioned in the Nagavamsavali. 



The Philological Secretary exhibited two gold coins, forwarded 

 by F. S. Growse Esq., Magistrate of Fathgarh. One of them was a 

 coin of Chandra Gupta II, in a rather clipped condition ; the other was 

 a coin of Gangeya Deva of Chedi (A. D. 1020-1040) in very good con- 

 dition. 



The Philosophical Secretary read the following Reports on finds 

 of Treasure Trove Coins. 



Report on 232 silver coins forwarded by the Collector "of Muzaffar- 

 pur, with his No. 717, R. dated Muzaffarpur, the 8th August 1887. 



The coins were found by six persons at Rajapakhar, Thana Mahna, 

 Zillah Muzalfarpur. 



A nominal list of the coins was attached to the Collector's letter, 

 in which the coins were stated to belong to the following Mughal 

 Emperors : Akbar, Jahangir, Shah Jahan, Aurangzib, Bahadur Shah, 

 Farukhsir, Rafiu-d-darjat, Muhammad Shah, and Shah 'Alam. This is 

 not quite correct. There are no coins of Shah 'Alam in the collection ; 

 those attributed to him, really belong to Bahadur Shah, as shown by the 

 dates they bear. Again, among the coins ascribed to Shah Jahan, there 

 are two which belong to Rafiu-d-daulah, as also shewn by the dates they 

 bear, and from other numismatic considerations. 



The following is a correct list of the coins.
