Clihatisgarli or Dalial ; he is called so in one of liis inscriptions (Archceolog. 
Survey Reports, Vol. XXI, p. 113). It may be suggested, that the two 
Chedi kingdoms had coinages of distinct types. Western Chedi had 
the four-armed seated Durga, while Northern Chedi had the coins which 
I have described in this paper. In that case the Prithvi Deva, whose 
coins show the Durga device, would not be identical with any of the three 
Prithvi Devas in the list above given, which is a list of the Ratanpur 
kings of Northern Chedi. He would be another king of the Tripuri 
dynasty of Western Chedi. 
(C) Coins of the Sultans of Delhi. 
1. See Plate IX, fig. 23. This is a copper coin of uncertain attri- 
bution, which I discovered among the coins of the Asiatic Society of 
Bengal. It is clearly dated 841 H., and it shows the type current in 
those days in the mints of the so-called Pathan Sultans of Delhi. 
Compare, e. g., the small copper coins of Mubarak Shah II (824-837), 
and Muhammad Shah IV (837-847). It bears, however, the name of 
Jalal Shah. There is no Sultan of that name in the known list of the 
Sultans of Delhi. Thomas, in his Chronicles of the Pathan Kings of Delhi, 
p. 375, mentions a Jalal Lodi, who was a brother of Ibrahim Lodi, and 
who was placed by the nobles of his own tribe of Lodi on the throne of 
the kingdom of Jaunpur. But Ibrahim’s date is 923-937, and his 
brother Jalal’s date is therefore too late for the present coin. The first 
known interference of the Lodis with the Delhi Saltanat is connected 
with Bahlol Lodi, the grand-father of Ibrahim Lodi and of the above- 
mentioned Jalal Lodi. He was nominally Governor, but virtually, 
master of the dependencies of Lalior and Sarhind, under the Sultan 
of Delhi, Muhammad Shah IV bin Farid (837-847). His aid was 
called in by that Sultan, to relieve him from the attack of Ibrahim, 
king of Jaunpur. This happened before 844, the date of Ibrahim’s 
death. Bahlol’s first mention, therefore, goes back to at least 844 H. 
(See Thomas, ibid., pp. 320, 336). It might be suggested that Jalal may 
have been Bahlol’s father ; but his father’s name is given as “ Malik 
Kala ” in Beale’s Oriental Biographical Dictionary. I referred the 
question to Mr. Rodgers, who possesses an unrivalled acquaintance with 
the Muhammadan coins of that period ; but he was not able to throw 
any light on Jalal Shah’s identity. The coin reads as follows -
