Ant., July 1899, p. 183, note 39). I think it best, however, to adhere to Firishtah’s nomenclature to prevent confusion. - [Previous: c12.112](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sewell-1900.c12.112) - [Next: c12.114](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sewell-1900.c12.114) - [Up: c12](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sewell-1900.c12) ## Cites (1) - [Indian Antiquary](https://indike.org/pramana/inp.epigraphy.corpora.ia) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sewell-1900.c12.113](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sewell-1900.c12.113) · Pramāṇa
