P. 109—Śalākā
c32.s5.1
'Pin' probably does not convey the full sense of 'Śalākā.' Cf. Aksha-Śalākā, the Hindu dice. The Śalākā was a small oblong piece which could come easily within the fist.

Brahmanya-devasya (C. C. I. M. 181-82, C. A. I. p. 78) seems to be the correct legend. *Brahmanya* is not the name of the Yaudheya king (Rapson, JRAS, 1903, 291), but the name of the god who in some coins is shown with six heads—Kārttikeya (as recognized by Rapson himself).
