C. R. Stiilpnagel — Coins of Ohids-ud-diii, Sfc. [No. 1, 



occupy in the 0)'der of succession. We now know of fourteen kings o£ 

 this dynasty, and I would place them as follows : — 



1. Pushpa-mitra. 8. Bhumi-mitra. 



2. Bhadraghosa. 9. Indra-mitra. 



3. Surya-mitra. 10. Vijaya-mitra. 



4. Anu-mitra. 11. Satya-mitra. 



5. Bhanu-mitra. 12. Saya-mitra. 



6. Agni-mitra. 13. Aj'u-naitra. 



7. Phaguni-mitra. 



The fourteenth king would be General Cunninghana's Dhruva-mitra ; 

 but not having seen the coin, I can not tell in what position to 

 place him. 



Of course I have never seen any coin of Pushpa-mitra ; but he is 

 nevertheless sufficiently authenticated otherwise ; but I have seen and 

 examined coins of all tlie remaining twelve kings. 



With regard to the name Sunja-mitra^ I may now state that I have 

 since seen several other coins of this king, and that the result of my 

 examination of these other and more perfect specimens is that the name, 

 must be read Suya or Surya Mitra ; and in this I agree with General 

 Cunningham. On most of these coins the name appears to read as Suya, 

 with a dot (anuswara ?) above the y ; but on at least one coin, the 

 name reads clearly as Surya, the repha appearing quite plainly on the to|) 

 of the y.

The extracts from the Tabakat-i-Nasiri made by Sir Henry Elliot in 

 his History of India contain but little information concerning Ghias-ud- 

 din of Ghor, nor is this want of details much to be regretted except for the 

 fact that the coins obtained hitherto generally join the name of this ruler with 

 that of his younger brother Mu'az-ud-din who is looked upon as the first Pathan 

 king of Delhi. It is stated that when 'Ala-ud-din Husain, surnamed Jehan- 

 soz, ascended the throne of Firoz-koh, he imprisoned his two nephews 

 Ghias-ud-din Muhammad Sam and Mu'az-ud din Muhammad Sam in a fort 

 of Wahiristan, and settled an allowance for their maintenance. He took 

 Ghazni, but did not make it his permanent residence. After his death he 

 was succeeded by his son Sultan Saif-ud-din. This king released the two
