§ 49. Kosāmbī or Vatsa-pattana, an ancient city in the Allahabad District. (For its identification with the modern Kosam on the Jamna, and an outline of its history, v. C. Geog. p. 391.) The large cast coins which may be compared with those reading *Kāḍasa* (v. § 48) are probably as early as the 3^rd cent. B.C. (**Plate III, 12**, cp. C.CAI. Pl. V, 7 · 10). The others (e. g. C., l. c. 11—18) may perhaps belong to the two following centuries. With them may be compared the coins of Pañcāla and the later coins of Ayodhyā (§§ 53, 44, and C.CAI. Pll. VII, IX). For the coins which bear the legend *Bahasatimitasa* (**Plate III, 11**) cp. the inscrr. of Bahasatimita at Pabhosā (FÜHRER, EI. II, p. 240).
