1853. | Note on the Taxila Inscription. 151 
I have re-examined my two small silver coins which I have attri- 
buted doubtingly to the Satrap Lzaka. There are only three letters 
of the name remaining, which I have read as OKO; but a more care- 
ful scrutiny shows that there is a decided difference in the shapes of 
the first and third of these letters. The first letter is not only larger 
but it is also differently formed below, while the last letter, as well 
as the three omikrons in KOZOYAO, is simply a small plain circle. 
The first letter remaining on both coins can, I think, only be 
intended for an A. This difference in the shapes of the first and 
third letters seems to render my attribution of the coins to Liaka 
Kusulaka almost certain.

The Peshawar Vase inscription, of which two copies have kindly 
been sent tome by Mr. Bayley and Babu Rajendra Mitra, I read as 
follows. 
Sthilena Siha-Rachhitena cha bharatehi Pakhasilaé As’a-thuva 
pratithavito sarva Budhanam puyac. 
“The Asa Stupa was erected in Taxila by Sinhila and Sinha- 
Rakshita, brothers, for the benefit of all Buddhists.” 
The characters appear to be rather loosely engraved—I have 
therefore read thupa for thuva, and pratithapito for pratithavito. 
The peculiar form of the chh in Rachhitena induces me to read the 
somewhat similar character in the Wardak inscription as ch, and 
to suggest that the words towards the end of the first line may 
be read thus: 
Agramatigra Vihara cha Thuva cha Bhagavata Sakya-muni Sari- 
ram patidharett. 
“ Both the Agramatigra Vihara and the Stupa were erected for the 
relics of Bhagavata Sakya Muni.”

Note on Major General A. Cunningham’s Remarks on the Bactro-Pali 
Taxila Inscription.—By Babu RAJENDRALALA Mirra, 
It is with some diffidence that I venture to offer a few remarks on the 
subject of the preceding paper. Entertaining the highest sentiment 
of respect for its author as one of the earliest and most successful 
antiquarians of India, I would never have, under ordinary circum-
