Sundeep Prakashan, 1986. First edition. Hardcover. New. 19 x 26 cm. This book is a collection of Studies on ancient Brahmi inscriptions and coins Some new inscriptions published for the first time supply new historical information, in others new readings have been given which have a very important bearing on several historical problems. The new reading in the Dewai inscription settles beyond doubt the much debated question of the founder of the Sahi dynasty The new readings and the revised translations throw fresh light on the history of the Gupta monarchs, Samudragupta, Skandagupta, the Hunas and the Pratihara ruler Mahendrapala The attribution of the Bull and Horseman type of coins of Khavadavayaka to Qutb ud-Din Aibak is a startling discovery The contents of the Eran inscription of Samudragupta, of the Bhitari Pillar inscription of Skanda Gupta, the Mandasor inscription dated 529, and the Hund inscription of Jayapala have been interpreted afresh, so as to rectify some current errors and present correct historical facts.
