I am inclined to think that the legend is defective and the issuer was none other than Kumāragupta I. - [Previous: c19.140](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.epigraphy.altekar-1957.c19.140) - [Next: c19.142](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.epigraphy.altekar-1957.c19.142) - [Up: c19](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.epigraphy.altekar-1957.c19) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.epigraphy.altekar-1957.c19.141](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.epigraphy.altekar-1957.c19.141) · Pramāṇa
