§ 26 B. We have discussed Vīrasena. The other kings may be taken up now. We know from the inscriptions that Bhava Nāga was a Bhārasiva and the last Bhārasiva king. Coins reveal a series of kings of his line, preceding him. They also prove that the family ruled in the United Provinces of Agra and Oudh—the area of these coins, and that there was a definite mint at Kauśāmbī of these kings. These coins hitherto have not been assigned by numismatists or historians to any dynasty. Nor has their connection inter se been realised. I discuss them in full below.
