We have thus four kings after Nava Nāga and Vīrasena, namely, H a y a N ā g a who ruled for 30 years or more, C h a r j a N ā g a who also ruled for 30 years or more, B a r h i n a N ā g a (7 years), and T r a y a N ā g a whose years we do not yet know. The script of the coin of H a y a N ā g a is the earliest and is referable to the period of Vīrasena. He should be placed immediately after Vīrasena, i.e. c. 210 A.D. It should be noted that the coins of all these kings bear dates and the palm tree, which, according to Prof. Rapson, is also on the coin of Vīrasena.
