But the king whose name occurs next in the list, \*viz.\*, Gautamīputra, regained the lost power of the house and dealt a severe blow at the power of the intruders from the north. The Nāsik \*praśasti\* calls him the "uprooter of the Kshaharāta race," and the "restorer, of the glory of the Sātavāhana family". That Nahapāna himself was overthrown by Gautamīputra is proved by the testimony of the Jogalthembi hoard (in the Nāsik district) which consisted of Nahapāna's own silver coins and coins restruck by Gautamīputra. In the restruck coins there was not a single one belonging to any prince other than Nahapāna as would certainly have been the case if any ruler had intervened between Nahapāna and Gautamīputra. - [Previous: c19.s1.32](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.raychaudhuri-1923.c19.s1.32) - [Next: c19.s2.1](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.raychaudhuri-1923.c19.s2.1) - [Up: c19.s1](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.raychaudhuri-1923.c19.s1) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.raychaudhuri-1923.c19.s1.33](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.raychaudhuri-1923.c19.s1.33) · Pramāṇa
