Notes on Gupta Inscriptions from AjjJisar and Beliar, — - 

 By Bdbu Ra'jendrala'la Mitra. 



Some time ago Major General A. Cunningham placed at my disposal, 

 for translation, the transcript of a Sanskrit inscription from Aphsar, 

 in the Behar district. It had been made over to him by the late 

 Major Markham Kittoe, who had brought away the original " to re- 

 examine and to restore it as much as possible, before having it fixed 

 on a pedestal near the Varaha in Aphsar,"* but who, owing to ill- 

 health and subsequent departure from India, could do neither. The 

 original is no longer forthcoming. When General Cunningham 

 enquired for it during his antiquarian tour in 1861-62, the people of 

 Aphsar " were unanimous in stating that Major Kittoe had removed 

 it to Nowada for the purpose of copying it ;" but no trace of it could 

 be met with either at that place or Gya or Benares. The nature of 

 the characters with which it was inscribed is not known, and, judging 

 from the state of the transcript, it was not perfect, there being several 

 lacunas in the middle ; but what remains of it in the transcript may be 

 relied upon as authentic, having been prepared by Major Kittoe himself, 

 whose thorough knowledge of Indian palaaograpby is well known. The 

 document has no date, but it is nevertheless of interest, as it sup- 

 plies a list of Gupta sovereigns of Behar, hitherto unknown to an- 

 tiquarians. 



The first of this line of kings was Krishna Gupta. Nothing is 

 said of where and when he reigned ; but he is described as a man
