§ 45. Bāraṇ. — C. supposed this to be the ancient name of Bulandshahr and reads the legend on the coins *Gomitasa Bāraṇaya* (C.CAI. p. 88, Pl. VIII, 10; C.ASR. XIV, p. 147, Pl. XXXI, 15); but, as has been pointed out by BÜHLER, the old name of this place was *Varaṇa*, and the reading of the coin-legend is extremely doubtful. This Gomitra has usually been identified with one of the Hindu princes of Mathurā of the same name (v. inf. § 52); but the types of his coins are different and the forms of the Brāhmī letters of his coin-legends seem to be more ancient.
