interval however he was accounted dead : his brother ascended the throne, 

 and his wives mounted the funeral pile. When he came back he found 

 Karmma reigning, and he went and took up his abode in the outskirts of 

 his brother's dominions. I cannot account for Hari's coins being so j^lenti- 

 f ul. Out of several thousands I have seen, I have seen only one of Karm- 

 ma, while at least one-fourth of the whole must have been Hari's. A Hari 

 succeeded Triloka : perhaps these or at least some of them may be his coins 

 although General Cunningham's list closes with Triloka.) 

 No. 18. Karmma. Obv. bull, above which Sri Karmma, rev. horseman.

a large flag on which is a peculiar mark.

 a circle of dots, Durga Devi. 



No. 23. Trilolm. Obv. Maharajah Sri Triloka Chandra Deva. All the

Hinder part of leg and thigh visible and hind-quarters and legs

The coins of Megha, Avatara Karmma and Dharmma are very rare. 

 " The coins of Rupa, Singara, Sansara and Narendra are rare. Those of 

 Pithama, Apurvva, Triloka and Hari are common. The Kangra types of 

 Samanta Deva are very common."
