The name of this Çuṅga king appears as Bhāgavata on a fragment of another column which was found at Bhilsa, but which is supposed to have been taken there from Besnagar. The inscription was engraved when the king was reigning in his twelfth year². Another king of the same name is known from the Pabhosā inscr. no. 905; but the two cannot be identified as their metronymics are different: the king at Pabhosā is the son of Tevaṇī, while the king at Vidiçā is the son of Kāçī, i.e. a princess from Benares.
