A History of Assam c10.73

c10.73

† I have taken 1603 as the date of Raghu Deb's death, as that is the year in which the coins of his successor Parikshit were issued. The date (1593) given by Gunabhiram and in Prasiddha Nārāyan's *Bansābali* must in any case be wrong, as an old cannon in the possession of the Raja of Gauripur bears an inscription recording its manufacture by Raghu Deb in 1519 *Sak*, or 1597 A.D. This cannon and another with a similar inscription but dated five years earlier, were found about a century ago in the bed of a river. (J. A. S. B., 1911 p. 43).
