c25.s1.1

In the Purāṇas the Nāgas of Padmāvatī (= Narwar, C.JBA. 1865, p. 115; C.CMI. p. 21) and the Guptas of Magadha are coupled together, and the fact of their being contemporary is proved by the mention of Gaṇapati Nāga (**Plate V, 2**) among the tributary Rajas in the Allahabad Pillar Inscr. of Samudragupta (CII. III, p. 1 ff.). Names of six members of this dynasty occur in full on the coins, while portions only of two other names can be read.
