678 Continuation of notes on Hindu Coins. [Dec. 



the latter is replaced by a non-descript flourish, so that the two are 

 probably independent of one another in the reading. 



Figs. 6 and 7, the last of the silver specimens, exhibit the cognate 

 name of *sf\ *rftf ^^, Sii Bhima deva ; and on the obverse, the V?[ of 

 the foregoing example. 



Of the copper series, we may specify figs. 14, 15, 19^, 21, 27, and 

 30, as having the Sdmanta deva legend over the bull, with other addi- 

 tions, or variations of style, on account of which they have been intro- 

 duced into the plates. 



But first 91 order should be noticed the six small copper coins, figs. 

 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 of Colonel Stacy's cabinet, which are connected 

 with the present group by the effigy of the horseman ; while on the 

 opposite we recognize the latter Canouj form ot letter, and the usual 

 termination of the coins, described in the preceding plate. A scrutinv 

 of the whole series (some not included in the plate) has elicited the 

 letters ^\ ^TT *T . . . • ^n^"^ ; the blank may be filled up with the letters 

 nta, pa, making the whole title Sri Sdmanta Pdla deva; or if it be 

 thought that there is not room for other letters, it may stand as Sri 

 Sdmala deva. 



Fig. 17. Of this curious variety we have two or three samples: 

 the bull is omitted, and the field occupied entirely by the legend. In 

 the engraved figure, the commencement of the second line is cut off. 

 Colonel Stacy's has a letter there, and his pandits read the whole, 

 Sri mam Kripa bamm has ; but from the resemblance of the two final 

 strokes to numerals, the appendage to the second m, and the analogy 

 of the ordinary legend, I should prefer the reading^ ?? 5 3T. . TR*ji^«r 

 ^ V . Sri man m. . thavarmma deva, Samvat 1. . , the name and the 

 date unfortunately remaining doubtful. 



Figs. 21 and 30, are duplicates : one completing the missing por- 

 tion of the other impression ; but owing to the strange form of two or 

 three letters, some doubt remains as to the correct reading. On the 

 obverse, we find ^TY^ TT5T ^ A'prichha Raja deva, and on the 

 reverse ^ ^TTfl ^3" Sri Samanta deva, with the addition of ^f^T^ft 

 Asdvari ; the last syllables, «R^, might almost be read Wt mi or ~%?i vaga. 



Fig. 27, with the Sri Sdmanta deva very much perverted on the 

 bull side, has a new name on the right of the horseman, sft ^PJT^T ^3" 

 Sri Dana (or data) Pdla deva. 



Fig. 28, has an unintelligible name on the bull side : the letters 

 visible are . . ^ ^T^C Sri Vadd sura. . 



In fig. 29, the outline of the sacred bull is somewhat difficult to be 

 traced. The name below it begins with the letters ^ ff -qr. . Sri 

 kupd, or ^T fill Sd kusha. .
