c8.50

Remains of Brahmanical and Buddhist shrines and images of gods, some of which are of the Gupta style, have been found in Keddah, Perak and other places. Special mention may be made of a Cornelian seal found at Kaula Selinsing in Perak engraved with the name of a Hindu prince Śrī Viṣṇu-varman, in characters of the fifth century A.D. Slightly later in date is an inscription found near Keddah containing three verses, from a Sūtra of the Mādhyamika School.¹³
