‘ the divine (or Deva) Kuniara Gupta, lord of the 
earth, who has conquered the earth.’ Some of 
the peacock type of the silver coins have the 
same legend, with the word ‘ conquers,’ 
inserted after ‘ Deva.’

In J. A. S. B. XXIY, 500, Thomas refers to a cast coin in Freeling 
coll., which partially agrees with the Mahanada 
coin, but it is useless to discuss specimens of 
doubtful genuineness.

Three coins from the Hugli hoard, with the several mens. 8b, Vic, 
and I7d, belong to the Archer type of Kumara Gupta, but, in the 
absence of details, I cannot classify them more exactly. A. C. has one 
specimen, which, for the same reason, cannot be placed. The variety in 
the imperfectly deciphered obverse legends of this type is remarkable ; 
the Horseman coins of the same king exhibit a similar variety. 
For heavy barbarous coins of Archer type see Supplement.
