² I emphatically disagree with the new view propounded in the Epigraphia Indica, Vol. XVII, p. 362, that the Nachnā and Ganj inscriptions belonged to Pṛthivīsheṇa II. I have carefully compared the scripts, and it is impossible to hold that they can be later than the fourth century A.D. The view of Fleet on the age of these inscriptions was perfectly right. Pṛthivīsheṇa II's plates clearly show that the Nachnā Pṛthivīsheṇa flourished long before. [See 61A for the Vākāṭaka inscriptions.]
