1879.] C. J. Rogers— Copper Coins of the old Maharajas of Kashmir. 193 
the last and shortest of the fourteen treatises, ascribed to Prannath. It 
is very curious, both from the advanced liberalism of its theological ideas, 
and also from the uncouthness of the language, in which the construction 
of the sentences is purely Hindi, while the vocabulary is mainly supplied 
from Persian and Arabic sources. The writer, a Kshatriya by caste, lived 
at the beginning of the 18th century and was under the special patronage 
of Chhattrasal, the famous Raja of Panna in Bandelkhand, who is com¬ 
monly said by the Muhammadans to have been converted to Islam, though 
in reality he only went as far as Prannath, who endeavoured to make a 
compromise between the two religions.
