1 The full reading of the Kharosthi legend on this type is given hy Cunningham as
Maharajasa rajatirajasa mahatasa dhramilcasa Gudaphctrasa, Sasasa, but the specimen illustrated by
him in the Coins of the SaTcas does not help us, and the reading given may be only tentative.
The full legend was not elucidated either by Gardner or Vincent Smith. From the fifteen

specimens in this Collection, the reading Maharajasa rajatirajasa-------Gudupharasa Sasasa is

certain, but there is a difficulty about the word or words following rajatirajasa. This is also
missing from all the British Museum specimens. As far as I can judge} the word is
aj or possibly sudevavratasa.
