34G Translation of a Bactrian Inscription. [No. 4, 
The historical facts deducible from this record are of considerable 
importance. We learn from it ; 1st, that the well known Tartar prince 
Huvishka of Kashmir had extended his dominion to the west many 
miles beyond Kabul. To the south, the Muttra inscriptions informs us, 
that his arms extended to as far at least as that city ; 2nd, that in 
his western dependency the prevailing religion was Buddhism ; 3rd, 
that the Buddhism most common then was most probably of the 
form adopted by the Mahasanghas ; 4th, that the people of the 
country at the time used a form of the Pali for their vernacular and 
had their months and days named after the Hindus : 5tli, that 
although the language of the people was the Pali, their personal 
names were either other than of that language, or compounds partly 
Pali and partly foreign.
