382 Legends of the Saurashtra group [May, 



' Of the elected king Viswa Sah, son of the great elected king 

 Rudra Sah.' 



Another regular succession. It is curious that the visarga is not 

 inserted at random, but, where it has been once given, the engraver 

 seems to have considered it necessary to repeat it — as he does also to 

 conform to the modification of the letter j in raja. 



Legend, No. 6. Three Steuart coins, one Prinsep (from Burnes 8 

 collection), and one in Dr. Swiney's cabinet : 



' Of the great elected king Atridama, son of the great elected king 

 Rubra Sah.' 



Here we have, in all probability, a second son of Rudra Sa'h, 

 through failure of heirs male to Viswa Sah. I write Atri for 

 euphony as the most likely disposition of the vowels, none being 

 expressed but the initial a, which, as in the modern Sindhi, serves for 

 all vowels equally well. 



Legend, No. 7. Including Nos. 9 to 12 of the Steuart plate; 

 two in my cabinet, one in Oaptain Cunningham's, and one in Dr. 

 Swiney's : 



' Of the elected king Viswa Sah, son of the great elected king 

 Atridama.' 



This second Viswa is shorn of his father's distinction, Mahd. He 

 does not appear to have left a son to take his place, being in the 

 same predicament (as far as our information goes) as his namesake 

 the son of Rudra. 



Legend, No. 8. Three coins, 25, 26 and 27 of Steuart, and two in 

 my series — one lately received from Mr. Wathen, and perfect in its 

 circle of letters :

* Of the great elected king Vuaya Sah, son of the great elected 

 king Dam a Sa'h.' 



This raja is evidently out of place; being a son of Dama Sa'h, he 

 should have come before Vi'radama, who had a son. I did not per- 

 ceive the mistake until after the plate was lithographed. 



Legend No. 9. Of this there is only one specimen in the Steuart 

 collection, to which I am able to add two. Col. Tod's plate in the Roy. 

 As. Soc. Trans, contains one. The inscription exceeds all the rest in 

 length :
