S. C. Laharry— ’Ternary : its divinity. 
[Nov. 
But it appears to me tliat the Candra of the Meharauli pillar, is 
no other than the Candravarman of the present inscription. This con¬ 
jecture is supported by the fact, that Candra of the Meharauli inscrip¬ 
tion was a Vaisnava (worshipper of Visnu) who had erected a dhvaja 
or standard of the god Visnu as the inscription states, and that he had 
carried on war with the kings of Vaijga (Bengal), and, crossing the seven 
mouths of the Sindhu (Indus), had conquered the Valilikas of Bactria or 
Balkh. Now in order to fight with the Kings of Vaijga, probably 
he had to pass over the region in which stands Susunia hill, and 
it may be surmised that like the dhvaja -erection, he symbolized the 
Visnu-cahra on the Susunia hill, and left the inscription to comme¬ 
morate it. 
In the Allahabad posthumous pillar inscription of Samudra-gupta , 
he is said to have defeated Candra-varman , a powerful king of the 
North India. This again leads us to imagine that Candra-varman, son 
of Maharaja Siddlia-varman, styled as the Lord of the Puskara lake * 
(in Ajmer), of the present inscription reigned as a powerful king, and 
at one time waged a furious war throughout the whole of Northern 
India, from Bengal in the east to the Punjab in the west, and at last 
was defeated by Samudra-gupta.
