Pabh5sa, where the inscriptions are found, is near Kosam, the 
reputed site of the ancient Kau^ambi. Kosam, no doubt, is recog¬ 
nized by the Jains as the site of the royal city of Kau^ambi, but it 
certainly does not represent the Kau^ambi visited by Hiuen Tsiang. 
I cannot stop now to prove the correctness of this last proposition, 
and only mention it here in order to explain that I regard Bahasati- 
mitra as having been king of Kau^ambl only on the assumption that 
Kau^ambi is to be identified with Kosam. Cunningham, in one visit to 
Kfisam, obtained 16 coins of Bahasatimitra, (Reports x, 4). Out of 
15 coins of this king in the Lucknow Museum, 9 were excavated at 
Kosam, and 6 at Ramnagar (Ahichatra). The coins thus agree with 
the inscription in affirming the close relation between Kau 9 ambi (in the 
sense of Kosam) and Ahichatra. I call Bahasatimitra king of Kosam 
because the majority of his coins is found at that place, and the inscrip¬ 
tion No. I was recorded by king Asadhasena, maternal uncle of king 
Bahasatimitra. The omission to mention the kingdom of Bahasati¬ 
mitra would be natural on the assumption that he was the local ruler 
of the territory where the inscription was incised. Inscription No. II 
shows that Bahasatimitra was son of the sister of the king of Ahichatra. 
The latter chief, when he dedicated the cave to which inscription No. I 
refers, was evidently on a visit to his nephew. 
King Acyuta was, of course, much later in date, and nothing is 
known about his lineage. 
VI. NAGA. 
Ganapati. 
Obv. [ Ma]hdraja Qri Ga. 
Rev. Bull to 1. in dotted circle. 
Oblong, *40 x *32. Wt. 20 gr. (Plate XXXVIII, fig. 10.) [V. A. Smith.] 
Remarkable for its shape. The coins of Ganapati are ordinarily 
circular. This specimen, which came from Narwar, has been struck, 
like some of the Ujjain coins, with a circular die. 
VII. UJJAIN. 
Obv. Quadruped without horns, standing to r. Marginal legend, in characters 
of about 4th century A.D., seems to include the word Parama. 
Rev. Ujjain cross and balls symbol. 
Copper, circular j diameter *7. Wt. 38gr. (Plate XXXVIII, fig. 11.) [V. A. 
Smith.] 
The coin No. 8295 of the Indian Museum ( Oatal . Ill, 28), which is 
oblong, has on obverse “ a deer,” without horns, and on the reverse the 
usual symbol. Other pieces in the same collection substitute a bull or
