II. Kea ( ) 



Fig. 1. — Unique — 50 grains.

Legend. Maharaja Kha * * * * 

 This name must have ended in Naga, as there is room for at least 

 four more letters. The full name may have been Kharjjura Naga, as 

 there is a trace of the vowel u at the foot of the second letter. 



III. Va (— ) 



Unique — 86 grains. 

 Obv. — Peacock standing to right. 

 Rev. — Two uncertain upright objects. 

 Legend. Maharaja Va * * * 

 This name must also have ended in Ndga. It may have been Vatsa 

 Naga, but it was more probably of three syllables, as Varuna.

 Bev. — Legend, Maharaja Brihaspati Naga. 

 Most of the legends are incomplete in the name, for want of space, 

 several of them reading Brihaspa as on No. 6, whilst a few have only 

 Briha. It is to be noted that the uncertain object which occupied the 

 field of the previous coins has now disappeared.

 kdkinis.

 The name varies on different coins both in its form and in its spell- 

 ing. On No. 7, I read Ganapatya," and on No. 8, Ganendra, both 

 properly spelt with the central n. On No. 9 the name o^Granendra.
