(1) Sonpat seal (\*Gupta Inscr.\*, No. 52); (2) Banskhera copper-plate (\*Ep. Ind.\*, iv, 208); (3) Madhuban copper-plate (ibid., i, 67). Mahāsena-guptā was the mother of Prabhā-kara-vardhana, who was also called Pratāpaśīla. His queen was Yaśomatī. Harsha's full name was Harsha-vardhana. The coins found in the Fyzabad District, Oudh, bearing the names or titles Pratāpaśīla and Śīlāditya, appear to have been issued respectively by Prabhākara-vardhana and Harsha (Burn, \*J. R. A. S.\*, 1906, p. 845). Hoernle has another theory (ibid., 1909, p. 446). - [Previous: c30.15](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.smith-1924.c30.15) - [Next: c30.17](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.smith-1924.c30.17) - [Up: c30](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.smith-1924.c30) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.smith-1924.c30.16](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.smith-1924.c30.16) · Pramāṇa
