§ 88. Succession of Andhra kings. — In regard to the order of succession and chronological arrangement of the different members of this dynasty there is at present great uncertainty, and this uncertainty extends to the attribution of the coins. Those bearing the inscr. *Raño Gotamīputasa Viḷivāyakurasa* (C.CAI. Pl. XII, 6. 7; E.CSI. Pl. II, 39. 40) are by some (Bhaṇḍ., Tr. I. Or. Cong. 1874, p. 351; Old., Ind. Ant. 1881, p. 226) assigned to Gotamīputra Sātakarṇi I, the conqueror of Nahapāna, and by others (Bh.JBRA. XIII, p. 308; C.CAI. p. 105) to Siriyaña Gotamīputa Sātakaṇi II, whose name occurs in full on other issues (§ 87; C.CAI. Pl. XII, 8—12; E.CSI. p. 25). The attribution of the coins of the successor of Gotamīputa Sātakaṇi I, *Vāsiṭhīputa Puḷumāyi*, who was probably contemporary with Caṣṭana, is, on the other hand, quite certain¹.
