VII, figs. 1-2. They were struck when he was subordinate to the Bhāra-Śiva-Vākāṭaka Empire. The coins bear Triśūla, which was a Bhāraśiva emblem. Cunningham read the legend as Rudra-Guptasa (p. 81). But the first letter is cha which is confirmed by the anusvāra dot on cha. The last letter is sya, not sa. - [Previous: c15.s3.48](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.jayaswal-1933.c15.s3.48) - [Next: c15.s3.50](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.jayaswal-1933.c15.s3.50) - [Up: c15.s3](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.jayaswal-1933.c15.s3) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.jayaswal-1933.c15.s3.49](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.jayaswal-1933.c15.s3.49) · Pramāṇa
