1. On the occurrence of Maestrichtien fossils at Kacch
station in British Baluchistan.

By Hem Cuanpra Das Gupta,

sh group of black shales was described by Mr. Oldham
belemnite shales from the abundance ce of Belemnites i in sedis 1

Noetling * who assigned a lower cretaceous, neocomian (hauteri-
vien) age to these rocks. Fossils from the belemnites shales have
also been obtained by Mr. Tipper.* These belemnite shales
are overlaid by another group of upper cretaceous (maestrich-
tien) shales which are often lithologically much alike. Moreover
as there is a stratigraphical gap between the upper and lower
cretaceous, and as either one or the other may be missing in
certain sections, some care is needed to distinguish them.
an instance of this I may cite the.case of an exposure of shales
at Kacch, a station on the Sind-Pishin section of the North
Western Railway, which was visited by me in the summer of
1907 with the Presidency College Geological party.
A geologically coloured map of British Baluchistan has
been published,’ and it appears from the map that a
comian age has been assigned to this locality. A few
fossils collected from this tl however, go to prove that

the shales exposed here are maestrichtien in age. Fossils from
the maestrichtien beds of Baluchistan have been described by
Dr. Noetling,! and we are indebted to Prof. Vredenburg for a
paper dealing with the zonal distribution of the upper cretace-
ous fossils of this area.” The Presidency College collection
includes Trochosmilia sp., Pachydiseus sp. (an immature
specimen), Heteroceras polyplocum, Roem., and Baculites
binodosus, Noetl. It may be mentioned here that two species
of Pachydiscus and Heteroceras polyplocum have been recorded
from the upper cretaceous rocks by Prof. Vredenburg in his
work above alluded to.

The specimen of T'rochosmilia has been found to be speci-
fically different from the only species of the genus described
from the upper cretaceous beds by Dr. Noetling.’ The height
of the corallum is 60 mm., the large diameter of the calyx is
47 mm., and the small diameter is 32 mm. The corallum seems

2. A dubious passage in the Ilminsky edition of the
Baburnama.

By H. BEVERIDGE.

In an interesting passage of his Memoirs the Emperor
Babur gives some particulars about the birth of his third son
Hindal Mirza. This took place at Kabul early in 925 A.H.,
and about the end of February, 1519. Babur was out in cam
at the time and in a valley north or north-west of Peshawar,
and was engaged in a raid against the Yisufzais.

The passage in which he refers to the coming birth of
Hindal occurs at p. 220a of the imprint of the Haidarabad
MS., and at p. 250 of Leyden and Erskine’s translation, and
is as follows :—

** After Humayun’ ee his mother bore several other
children, but none of them survived. Hindal had not yet been
born. While I was in these Netty a letter came from Mahim
in which was written, ‘ Be it a boy, or be it a girl, give me
whatever my Fortune grants me, I shall regard ie child as
mine,! and shall rear it.

On Frida ay, the 26th of this month (Muharram 925 equal to
28th January, 1519),I, in this very camp, gave Hindal to
Mahim, and I wrote a letter to this effect and sent it to Kabul
by Yiisuf ‘Ali Rikabdar. As yet, Hindal was not born.’

In a subsequent passage, 258 of Leyden and Erskine, and
227a of the Haidarabad text, Babur says that on Friday
2 Rabi’u-l-awwal (4th March, 1519) he received a written report
of Hindal’s birth. He adds, ‘‘ As the news came at the time I
was making an expedition against India, I took the birth

1 In the Elphinstone MS. and in the Haidarabad text the words are
cgtlale (olla os} Ny9/ arzand chalai sakhlai. 1 cannot find the word chalai,
but possibly it is connected with the word jil Jaa which according to
Pavet de Courteille’ s Dict. is a word added to other words and has the

ning ike to.’’ Ilminsky, 281, has farzand qilai u eakhlai. Very

likely the word gilaz cots i is right, sod Leese is wrong in Ilminsky is

the re Heese u after it. This conjunction does not occur either in

the Elphinstone MS, or in the Haidarabadi. Tei is perhaps the occurrence

of the ssa verse that has — Pavet de Courteille to wa sora ** met

as a good omen and called the child Hindal (7.c., taker of India).”’
By this time he had left the Yiisufzai country and was in
India, near Bhera and the Jhilam.

With the exception of the Kehr MS., which is the founda-
tion of the Ilminsky edition, the above is all that the manu-
scripts of the Memoirs, whether Turki or Persian, tell about
Hindal’s birth. The Ilminsky edition, however, p. 281, pp. 45,
46, vol. ii, of Pavet de Courteille’s French translation, has the
following remarkable paragraph :—

‘The explanation of the above statement (i.e., the state-
ment about Mahim’s letter, etc.), is that up to this time there
had been several children by the same mother as Humayiin’s’,
namely, one boy, younger than him, but older thanyall my
other (male) children, and three girls, of whom Mihr Jan was
one, but they had all died in infancy. I wished much for a
full brother or sister to Humayiin. At this time Dildar
Aghacha conceived, and I kept on saying, ‘ How nice it would

or Hasan, and on the other, Fatima. Then they shut up
those in two balls of clay and put themintoa cup of water. The
first to open is to them’a prognostic of the sex. Should it con-
tain a boy’s name, the child will be a boy: if there be a girl’s
name, it will be a girl. The experiment was made, and a boy’s
hame came out. When I got the good news, I at once wrote

of fact, she died 14 or 15 years previously, in the beginning,
namely, of 911 A.H., or July, 1505. This at once disposes of
the idea that the paragraph is the work of Babur. Nor can
we get out of the difficulty by supposing that Hazrat Walida
is equivalent to WAlida-i-Sultan, mother of the king, or of the
heir, and that it is Mahim the wife of Babur and mother of
Humayin to whom the words refer. Against this interpreta-
tion there is the fact that Pavet de Courteille, the experienced
Turki scholar, has taken the words to refer to Babur’s mother,
and there is the still more convincing circumstance that the para-
graph ends by saying that the result of the arrangement was
that the writer (i.e., Babur) got both a younger brother and a
son. If the child was made over to the grandmother, that is,
to Babur’s mother, he might say that the child became his
younger brother. But the expression has no meaning if the
infant was givén to his wife. It certainly seems to me that
the writer of the paragraph, whoever he was, had forgotten or
never knew that Babur’s mother had died in 911. He also,
I think, imagined that Mahim was the name of Babur’s mother!
The paragraph is valuable as a note, and we are indebted to
whoever wrote it. But it seems impossible that either Babur

Nor do I think that strict Sunnis like Babur and Huma-
yun would in exemplifying the names written on pieces of
paper have only referred to three specially Shi‘a names, viz.,
Fatima, ‘Ali and Hasan. It is possible that Jahangir wrote
the paragraph, but one would expect him to have been better
informed about the date of death of his great grandfather’s
mother.

3. Note sur les dénominations a donner aux sabres
hindo
Remise par M. P. Hoxstern de Lyon.

Dans son ouvrage ‘* A Description of Indian and Oriental
Armour ’’ (new Edition, Londres, 1896), Lord Egerton of Tatton
donne fréquemment aux sabres les noms de ‘‘ Shamshir’’ et de

‘ Talwar.

Le mot ‘* Shamshir,’’ ** Shamsher ’’ n’est-il pas le mot
persan qui veut dire Sabre ee facon générale, et le mot ** Tal-
war ’’ n’est-il pas le terme Hindou ayant la méme signification ?

S’il en est bien ainsi, ‘‘ Shamshir’’ est le terme générique
de tout sabre persan, ou dorigine persane, quelle que soit la
forme, mais dont la poignée est généralement en forme de crosse
de pistolet, souvent revétue de deux plaques de corne, d’ivoire,
de morse ou autre matiére recouvrant la soie. Tels sont les
types qui sont représentés dans la Planche XV du dit ouvrage
sous les numéros 658-659 et 755-757.

‘ Talwar ’’ serait le terme générique de tout sabre hindou

ou hindo-musulman, quelle que soit la forme de la poignée,

munie ou non d’un are de jointure, la courbure ou la nature et

qualité de la lame, 4 l’exception du Khanda, ou Khounda (Sabre

de Sacrifice) et de la Pata (épée a-gantelet) qui constituent l’un et
Vautre des types trés spéciaux faciles 4 reconnaitre.

Ce qui precéde est-il exact ?

Dans le catalogue de ‘‘ Tsarkoe-Selo,’ oe del’ Empereur

eet h qui, d’aprés les reproductions; aurait

M. Sinclair, dans |’ Indian Antiquary (Edited at Bombay,

putana, a slightly curved blade, shaped like that of Damascus °’

Ainsi (page 110), No. 400 (Abbasi) est decrit : Straight blade

beaucoup a celle du Khanda. Est-ce que c’est la forme de la

Le t Talwar ’’ (voir page 123, No. 580 et fig. 24) est-il

chant ou parceque la poignée, surmontée d’une pointe beaucoup
plus courte qu’elle ne l’est géneralement, est munie d’un are de

Lord Egerton, malgré les caractéres differents de ces sabres
ne leur donne aucun nom ; dans quelles séries faut-il les classer ?

Ce n’est pas tout. Lord Egerton cite d’autres noms, mais,
malheureusement, ses descriptions sont des plus sommaires et
aucune reproduction ne les accompagne :

Page 118, No. 537 et 538 :—‘* Farang Katti ’’ ; lames canne-
lées (Vizianagram). D’apresle mot ‘‘ Farang,’’ ces lames seraient
d’ origi d’imitation européenne ; consequemment elles
seraient droites et minces comme des lames d’épée ou de latte
de cavalerie.

Le *‘ Katti’’ par contre (voir ci-dessus) aurait une lame
_trés legérément courbe; comment ces deux noms peuvent-ils
se concilier ? :

Page 117, En note du N° 527 :-—<« Dhoup,’’ straight blade
used by most of the Deccanees ( Ain-i-Akbari).’’

Le mot “* Dhoup ”’ est-il le nom d’un sabre et en ce cas la
description du No. 527 se rapportant a un Firangi, les mots
‘‘ Dhoup ”’ et ‘‘ Firangi ’’ voudraient-ils dire la méme chose ?

pipe des collections de la Tour de Londres, de Codrington

B. Point inclined downwards. Plain handle.

C. Handle of watered steel. Back strengthened by plates
of figured iron, ornamented with gold and silver.
This weapon taken at Seringapatam was invented
by a Persian Officer of Hyder’s army (Nawaz Khan)
whose name it bears. It was used chiefly by men of

rank.

4. List of Portuguese Jesuit Missionaries in Bengal
and Burma (1576-1742).

By Revs. L. Bsssz, 8.J., and H. Hosten, S.J.

From the end of the XVIth century down to the middle
of the XVIIIth, Bengal was one of the mission-fields of the
Society of Jesus. But, the Jesuits were not alone. The
cece who came to Bengal in 1599 and withdrew only

n 1867, were a much larger body in these parts. They were
the principal missionary body. About 1714, we find the
Capuchins with a house at Chandernagore. French Jesuits
were settled there c. 1693-1778. There was, besides, always a

rissa, Bengal, Pegu, etc., all depended on ae Diocese of
Meliapur from the time of its erection in 1606 to the modern
times when the Vicariates Apostolic were moaked (1834).

Of work done by the Augustinian Friars, the
Capuchins and the secular clergy, we are less able to speak.
ae oan on the subject, though not wanting, is difficult

e are somewhat better situated with regard to the
ae of the Jesuit Missions, though here, too, we wish we
were in posses of fuller information. Printed records of
the work done in the first decade of the XVIIth century are,
Aeerbbas speaking, plentiful. The newly arrived missionaries
liv imes and wrote long accounts ; but, it did

history of the Portuguese Jesuits is almost a complete blank.

way of compensation, the French Jesuits of Chander-
nagore (1690-1778) are repeatedly heard of in Lettres édifiantes
et curieuses.

To write a detailed history of our early Missions in Bengal
is yet an impossibility. The materials for such a history have
not been collected.

tion towards that ee a list of syringe Jesuits in

At no time in the XVIIth and XVIIIth centuries were
the Jesuits very numerous in Bengal. The following statistics

Though the College of Bengal be at a great distance, no
Provincial ever neglected to send thither at the right time
the necessary labourers. If, at any time, it had not sufficient
revenues for the a aaa of its subjects, the Superiors did
not omit maintaining them; and now, that according to the
will of the fatdiciex there ought to be in it three of ours, we
must all the more endeavour that subjects be not wanting to
minister to the salvation of the neighbour. But, alas! for the
Provincials to send ours two by two to Bengal is the same (God
allowing) as for death to summon them to the tribunal of God,
either on the way, or shortly after their arrival in the College.
So, last year, and shortly before, it happened that five of ours
spies life with death, and the Province has not the men

to take their place. In the College there is at present only the
Rector ; he is maintained, and two others will be maintained—
if they can be found—from the revenues of the foundation.

A few particulars on each.

In 1576, two Jesuits came to Bengal and insisted with
the Portuguese traders on their refunding to Emperor Akbar the
moneys due for anchorage and annual taxes of which they had
defrauded the exchequer. But through the influence of Pedro
Tavares, the Captain of Hugli, then [1578] at Fathpur Sikri, all
arrears were condoned, The Fathers’ conscientious scruples and
Pedro Tavares’ petition favourably impressed the Emperor, and
led eventually to the first Jesuit Mission at Fathpur Sikri in
1580. The name of only one of these Fathers in Bengal has
been preserved: Father Anthony Vaz. Cf. F. pm Sousa,

Joseph de Castro wrote on Nov. 20, 1631, from ‘‘ the
Kingdom of Bengala,’’ that he had been in Bengal during the
last two years, as Chaplain to a Governor of several provinces,
Mirza Zu-1 Qarnin, an Armenian Catholic. The place was
more than 250 miles from Agra and more than 300 from Hugli.
On August 8, 1632, he mentions Father Francis Morando as his
companion. . J.A.S.B., 1910, p. 529. ‘ Joseph de Castro,
Ius.,’’ had come out in 1602; ‘‘ P. Francis Morando, Lus.,’’

Two Jesuits were among the casualties on the Hugli
River after the capture of Hugli: Father Ignatius Fiatho, cut
down with a scimitar (+ 26 Sept. 1632), and Bro. John Rodri-
guez, shot dead with arrows.

Three others—Manoel Coelho, Manoel Secco, and Lows
Orlandini—died shortly after (before the end of 1632) of the
pestilence which decimated the Portuguese fugitives entrenched
in the island of Saugor. Two of the name of Emmanuel

5. “‘Mundari Phonology and the Linguistic Survey.”

By Prorgssor Sten Konow, Pu.D.

The Revd. C. Mehl has written a review of the Mundari
section of the Linguistic Survey of India in this Journal,
vol. vi, pp. 247 and ff., in which he asserts that the sounds of
Mundari have there been wrongly described and noted. The
Munda Volume of the Survey has been written by me, and as the
questions raised by Mr. Mehl are of some importance, I hope
that I am justified in stating the reasons which lead me to
differ from him.

There are two points in which he maintains that I am

rong, vz., in stating that Mundari like Santali possesses
double sets of the vowels e and o, and that the Mundari semi-
consonants are hard and not soft. If I am not mistaken the
latter point, the marking of the semi-consonants as hard in the
Linguistic Survey, is, in the opinion of my critic, the most
serious mistake.

Similarly I have distinguished two o-sounds, an o and an 4d.
Mr. Mehl states that the sounds d@ and d@ do not exist in
Mundari. Now Ihave not put any stress on this point. I have
not distinguished the two sets in the specimens printed in the

v I have only tried to do so in the List of words. I
think it is necessary to state this because Mr. Mehl’s words
cannot fail to give the impression that 1 have carried the dis-
tinction through in all specimens. Then I must confess that a
mere dictum like Mr. Mehl’s does not carry immediate convic-
tion. He has not given us a description of the sounds in ques-
tion which enables us to judge. It will be necessary to goa
little into detail in order to explain what is meant. Before
doing so, however, I should like to say a few words in explana-
tion of an expression I have used in the Munda Volume, and
which seems to have given offence to Mr. Mehl. I refer to my

and the difficulty is still greater when we have to do with
strange tongues.

To return to the Mundari vowels it would have been
impossible in a work like the Linguistic Survey to give an
exposition of the phonetic system on which the marking of the
various sounds has been based. The ear is often a very unsafe
guide, and the marking of vowels in phonetic books is
therefore based on an analysis of ‘the various positions of the

ngue. I cannot do better than to quote Mr. Sweet! in order
to explain this. He says :--

‘As each new position of the tongue produces a new
vowel, and as the positions are infinite, it follows that the
number of possible vowel-sounds is infinite. It becomes neces-
sary, therefore, to select certain definite positions as fixed points
whence to measure the intermediate positions.

The movements of the tongue may be distinguished gene-
rally as horizontal and vertical—backwards and forwards, up-
wards and downwards. The horizontal movements produce

and a@ in man, the front of the tongue is raised towards the
front of the palate, so that the main body of the tongue slopes
down from the front of the mouth backwards. There is a third
class of ‘ mixed’ (gutturo-palatal) vowels such as the ¢ in err,
where the whole tongue is allowed to sink with its neutral

flattened shape, in which neither back nor front articulation
predominates.

ally accompanied by lowering and raising of the jaw, produce

the a 1n man | it is lowered as much as possible. From among
the infinite degrees of height three are selected : (1) ‘ high’
[as in fill), (2) ‘mid’ [as in men], (3) ‘low’ [as in man].

hese distinctions apply equally to back and mixed vowels, so
we have altogether nine cardinal vowel-positions :—

high back high mixed high front.
mid back mid mixed mid front.
low back low mixed low front.’

Vol. VII, No. 2.] Mundari Phonology. 39
[N.S.]

Mr. Mehl explains the neutral a of Mundari as the sound of
ain Hindi rakhna or of e in German aber or of a in English
oral. Now thea of rakhna is mid back; the e of aber is mid
mixed, and the a of oral is mid mixed or low mixed. Ido
not doubt that Mr. Mehl himself knows the sound in question
well enough. But it is impossible to form a clear idea of its
precise character from his description, such as we could obtain
from the experiments of a scholar trained in the methods and
technicalities of modern phonetics. The example will, I hope,
show that my words in the Munda volume about phonetical
training ought not to give offence to anybody, and I am ver
sorry to learn that they have done so.

The sound which I have marked e in the Linguistic
Survey is mid front as the e in men and the first stage of the
vowels in say and take; d is low front as the a in back, man or
the beginning of a in care. Similarly o is mid back (with
rounded lips) as the beginning of the vowel in so, sow, or the o
in German Sohn, Sonne. <A is low back as the o in not or the
initial vowel sound in saw, naught

Now it is not easy to state in all cases whether a word is
pronounced with an d or an e, an 4 or an 9, respectively, with-
out a careful training of the ear. Mr. Mehl denies the existence
of the two sets in Mundari. Similarly most of the missionaries
among the Santals long maintained that there was only one
e-sound and one o-sound, is Santali, where we now know that
each of these vowelshas two sounds. I have already remarked
that 1 have not distinguished between the two sets in the
Mundari specimens printed in the Linguistic Survey, and I do
not think that any practical inconvenience can arise from my
mention of the two sets in the introduction. I should feel mach
obliged to my critic if he would let us have not a categorical
statement but an exact description of the formation of the
Mundari vowels, with indications of the position of the tongue
in each individual case. The value of such a description would
be greater still, if it gave information whether the individual
vowels are narrow or wide, and so on. It would then be pos-
sible to judge about the actualsounds. Mr. Mehl’s criticism
does not, in this respect, add anything to our knowledge of
Mundari phonology. Wemustremember that Mundari orthogra-
phy has not been settled, and the fact mentioned by Mr. Mehl

that an educated Munda failed to recognize Father Hoffmann’s
Mundari specimen as Mundari, does not prove anything but
that he was accustomed to another orthography. I have my-
self tried to show a phonetic English text to an excellent
English scholar, who did not at all think that it was English
before it was read aloud.

now turn to the second question raised by Mr. Mehl,
about the character of the Mundari semi-consonants, which he
maintains are soft, while I have marked them as hard — Above

40 Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bengal. [February, 1911.

all it is necessary to know exactly what is meant with hard and
soft sounds. A hard consonant is pronounced without voice,
it is breathed, 7.e., to quote Mr. Sweet, ‘‘ the glottis is wide open
and no sound is produced by the outgoing breath, except that
caused by the friction of the air in the throat, mouth, etc.’’
Soft consonants, on the other hand, are voiced, i.e., the glottis
is at least so much closed that the vocal chords vibrate.

With regard to the semi-consonants we are here not con-
cerned with the open consonants such as the nasals, liquids
and s-sounds, but only with the so-called stops, gutturals,
palatals, dentals and labials, and with these only as finals.

Like other consonants the stops ‘ consist acoustically of
three elements, the consonant itself, and its on- and off-glide.’
Glides are ‘ transitional sounds, produced during the transition
from one sound to another.’ ‘The on-glide after a vowel is
generally voiced.’ The off-glide is always voiceless after voice-
less stops. In the case of g, j, d, may, according to Mr.
Sweet, distinguish three different kinds : (J) voiceless stop and

the impression made on an untrained ear is different. Simi-
larly the French and South German k, ¢, p will strike an
Englishman as g, d, b, respectively.

ow I turn to Mr. Mehl’s explanation of the formation of
the Mundari semi-consonants.

the air is made to pass over them. For instance, in pro-
nouncing labials, the lips have first to be closed. This being
done, 1 can pronounce a p, or b, or ph, or bh, as like. Now
the semi-consonants nd
duced by the first part of the process described... They, there-
fore, naturally cannot be hard, but must be neutral, A neutral
8

ound, however, stands, I think, nearer to a soft than to a
hard sound.’

1 Handbook of Phonetics, p. 154.

Vol. VII, No. 2.] Mundari Phonology. 41
[N.S.]

I confess that I absolutely fail to understand this. If the
difference between ‘hard’ and ‘soft’ rests with the final part
of the consonant, é.e., with what phonetic scholars call the off-
glide, and this off-glide is missing, the vocal chords cannot
vibrate. The consonant cannot accordingly be voiced, or, to
use the popular expression, ‘ soft.’ It must consequently be
voiceless, or, popularly, ‘hard.’ Mr. Mehl’s definition of the
semi-consonants is therefore to the effect that they are, as I
have marked them, ‘hard’ sounds. The term voiceless is a
negative term, and such sounds as are devoid of voice, must
necessarily fall under it. To call them neutral is simply to
abstract from phonetic, physiological considerations and to refer
the question to that most unreliable judge, the human ear.

6. ‘Inscribed Guns from Assam.’’

By Raxuat Das Banerst, M.A.

In a previous paper I have dealt with two Inscribed Guns
from Assam, which are now in the possession of Mr. W.
Simson of London. Mr. Gait in his history has mentioned
several guns, which the Ahom Kings captured from the
Mughals of Gauhati and Ghoraghat.! Various other travellers
have, from time to time, noticed the existence of inscribed
guns in various parts of the now depopulated province of
Assam. ‘The present paper deals with seven inscribed guns,
of which four are, at present, in Assam, two in the house of a
Zemindar in Bhagalpur, and one in the Industrial Section of
the Indian Museum,

In January last I paid a visit to Gauripur in the Goalpara
district of Assam. In the courtyard of the palace of the
Hon’ ble Raja Prabhat Chandra Barua I found six iron guns, four
only of which were inscribed. The Raja is descended from a
Bengali Kayastha, who was appointed Qanungo by the Mughal
Emperor Jahangir. Most probably, he accompanied Islam
Khan Fathpuri or Shaikh Qasim. According to the Padishah-
nama, Sayyid ‘Abu Bakr, the governor of Hajo under Qasim,
attacked the Ahom kingdom.” The Raja possesses numerous
Persian documents among which are to be found a number
of Sanads and Farmans issued in the name of the Mughal Em-
perors from Jahangir downwards, conferring the Qanungoship
of different villages on the family.

The oldest gun hitherto discovered in the province of
Assam is in the possession of the Raja of Gauripur. It is an
exact replica of the gun described by Mr. Stapleton of the
Indian Educational Service.* A monster field gun in the
grounds of the Gauripur palace stands next in order. Next to
it comes the gun in the grounds of the Jhawa Kothi, the pala-
tial residence of Babu Saurendra Mohan Singha of Bhagalpur.
The gun in the Industrial Section of the Indian Museum
taken from the Mughals in the time of Gadadhara Sirhha of
Assam. One of the guns, in the grounds of the Gauripur
palace, bears a short Persian inscription, which cannot be
wonteaad made out on account of the absence of all diacritical

arks. s one and another gun in the grounds of Babu
Sainte Mohan Singha come last of all. The gun in the

Industrial Section of the Indian Museum is of brass, the rest
of the guns dealt with in this paper being made of iron. I
have heard that there are several inscribed guns in the civil
headquarters at SibSagar, and at Gauripur I learnt that the
Zemindars of Bijni possess several inscribed guns. In a future
paper I hope to deal with the guns at Bijni and Sibsagar.

(1) Gun of Sher Shah.—lI have already mentioned that
one of the guns in the Gauripur collection bears a striking re-
semblance to the gun of Sher Shah recently discovered in the
village of Dewanbhog, subdivision Narayanganj, of Dacca, and
described by Mr. Stapleton in a previous issue of this Journal.
The inscription on this gun is very faint and can be made out
with great difficulty. Some portions of it have entirely peeled
off, it not been for Mr. Stapleton’s gun, I would never
have succeeded in deciphering the whole of the inscription.
The Gauripur gun differs from that of Narayanganj in one
respect only. The long projection behind the breach notice-
able in Mr. Stapleton’s photograph is absent in the Gauripur
gun, but I believe this portion was broken off by some acci-
dent. This projection demonstrates that both were naval
guns (Nawwara top). Small guns of various sizes were em-
ployed by the subahdars or naibs stationed in Dacca in the
flotilla of boats.

The inscription runs as follows :—

The gun measures 4’-92” in length and the diameter of the

was only appeased by the division of the Koch Kingdom.
According to the vamsavali of the Darrang Rajas, Raghudeva
was given the portion of Narananayana’s kingdom that lay
East of the Sankosh river. On Naranarayana’s deatb his
nephew threw off the allegiance and declared himself indepen-
dent. The Society possess one coin of this Prince dated
Saka 1510.

According to an inscription in the temple of Madhava at Hajo
he is said to have repaired that temple in the year 1583.

he Hon’ble Raja Bahadur of Gauripur possesses two guns

of Raghudeva. The larger one is in a good state of preserva-
tion. The muzzle is shaped as a tiger’s head and the portion
behind the trunnions is decorated with parallel ribs of iron.
Close to the breach is a vertical projection with a parrot on
each side of it: see pl. There is a parrot on the lion’s head also.
The length of the gun is 7’-4” and the diameter of the muzzle
11”. The inscription runs as follows :—

Sri-Sri-Raghud drdyanasya-sa{ka}-sam 1514; 7.e., 1592.

(4) Inscribed Field Piece of Raghudeva.—This gun is of mo-
derate proportions, the barrel being dodecagonal in shape. It
measures 4’-6}” in length and the diameter of the muzzle is
54”, but the inscription on this gun is of great importance, as
it proves beyond doubt that Raghudeva did not die in 1593
A.D., as supposed by the chronicler of the Darrang Rajas.
The inscription runs as follows :—

Sri-Sii-Raghudevanarayana-karitam-idam-saka 1519 ; $.£,;

This proves beyond doubt that Raghudeva was alive in
that year, and the proof is based upon a contemporary
record and not upon a modern manuscript.'| Babu Dwijesh
Chandra Chakrabarty, Dewan of Gauripur, has kindly supplied
me with notes regarding the discovery of the guns now in the
possession of the Hon'ble Raja. According to him these guns
were found during the time of Vira Chandra, who came to the
gadi in 1808. They were found in the bed of a river called
Chataguri and their existence was made known to the Raja in
a dream.

(5) Inseribed Gun of Jayadhvaiasimha.—During the last
session of the Literary Conference of Bengal I had the oppor-
tunity of inspecting this gun at Bhagalpur in the grounds of
the residence of Babu Saurendra Mohon Singha. This gun
bears three separate inscriptions, one of which is in Sanskrit
and the remaining two in Persian. The Sanskrit inscription
runs as follows: —

1) Sri-8rt-Svarggadeva-J ayadhvajena- Maharaje ba nam.
(2) jetva-gubakahatiyam idam astram praptam saka 1580,
t.€,, 1657-58 A.D.
Jayadhvajasimha is said to have attacked the Mughal domi-
nions near Gauhati immediately after the death of Shah Jahan
I, thus following the footsteps of Prananarayana of Cooch
Behar. The Muhammadan Faujdar of Gauhati fled without
waiting for the attack and twenty cannon are said to have
been captured by the Ahom King.’ This led to the celebrated
invasion of Assam by Mir Jumla, the Governor of Bengal. It
seems that the gun was recovered by the Muhammadans under
Mir Jumla and then removed by them to Behar. They were
found by the present occupant of the Jhawa Kothi on the
banks of the Ganges, close to a Muhammadan mausoleum,
which from its technique can safely be assigned to the later
Mughal period. This building also is included within the vast
compound of the Jhawa Kothi. € gun measures 9’ 10”
in length.

The larger Persian inscription has been incised on a square
plate of brass rivetted on the gun. It is almost illegible and
only the following words were made out with great difficulty
by Prof. Jadunath Sarkar, M.A., of the Patna College :1F Asses
There are no diacritical marks in this inscription. He is
of opinion, however, that this should be read as LP Bos yas
and the regnal year should be referred to the reign of Shak
Jahan I, as Mir Jumla’s invasion of Assam had taken place
long before the twelfth year of Aurangzeb. He notes that
the usual expression on similar inscriptions is Rekhta Shud,
‘* was cast’ instead of ‘* was manufactured,’’

The smaller Persian inscription is incised on a tiny plate of
brass rivetted near the muzzle of the gun, and is quite unde-
cipberable. The gun is made of a thick spiral ware, similar to
that already described by me in the pages of this Journal.!

(6) Tbe other gun shown in the photograph is a field
piece and bears four Persian letters without any diacritical
marks as in the inscriptions mentioned above, thus :—

It measures about 9 in length.

7) The Brass Gun of Gadadharasimha.—This gun is at
present in the Industrial Section of the Indian Museum to
which it was transferred by the Asiatic Society of Bengal in
1867. They are said to have been presented by Capt. Butcher.
The gun seems to be a field piece and measures 4’ 52” in length
The muzzle is shaped like a lion’s head and its diameter is
43”. The barrel of the gun bears two different inscriptions,
one in Persian and the other in Sanskrit. The Persian inscrip-
tion is a long one and consists of a main inscription and three
small ones. It refers to the reign of the Mughal Emperor
Jahangir. The inscription has been deciphered by Maulavi
Khair-ul-Anaim of the Hare Schoo]. A complete restoration of
the whole inscription he believes to be impossible. The follow-
ing proper names with the exception of the reigning emperor
are to be found in the inscription :—Hakim Haidar Ali, Sher
Muhammad, Billardas Karigar, Khanzad Khan Dilawarjung,
Akhwand Maulana. The third line of the main inscription
contains the date of the regnal year 21 of the Emperor. The
smaller inscriptions contain the following details :—-the weight
is four garis and the gun belongs to the detachment called
Muhammadi-risalah. The officer superintending the casting of
the gun was Sayyid Ahmad, who was the Aragdar to the Em-
peror. The serial number of the gun in the Mughal artillery
seems to be 619, which is given at the bottom of the inscrip-
tion. Near the trunnions appear the English numeral 419 and
near the breach the word ‘‘ Bundoolaw’’ has been incised by
means of a sharp instrument. The Sanskrit inscription occurs
on the barrel of the gun in the space between the trunnions
and the breach. It runs as follows :—

(1) Sri-Sri-svargga-nairayanadeva-Saumares
(2) Gadddharasimhena-javanam jitva Guvaka-
(3) hattyam-idam-astram priptam Sake 1604
i.e., 1596. The Muhammadans recovered Gauhati in 1679,*
and it was retaken by Gadadharasimha in 1681. Suminarily the
history of the gun seems to have been that it was cast in the
twenty-first year of Jahangir and was employed most probably
y the Muhammadans in one of their expeditions against
Gauhati and was left by them at that place. It was re-

tured by Gadadharasimha in 1581 when he succeeded in re
covering Gauhati. The name ‘‘ Bundoolaw’’! proves beyond
doubt that the Burmese Commander Mingi Maha Bandula suc-
ceeded in capturing this gun during the civil wars in 1882-84
and that it was wrested from the Burmese before the Treaty of
Yandaboo.* The Persian text runs as follows :—

Vol. VII, No. 3.] Frey Joao da Cruz, O.S.A. ( + 1638). 55
[NV .S.]

The commonly accredited opinion in modern works on
Hugli ! is that Frey Joao da Cruz was taken to Agra (1632-33)
with other priests and 4,000 prisoners and cast before an infu-
riated elephant. However, by a miraculous interposition of
Providence, he escaped unhurt and obtained from Shéh Jahan
not only the release of the captives, but a grant of 777 bigahs
of land near the Bandel of Hugli.

Asiaticus quotes a Portuguese text obtained from the
‘¢ Archives ’’ of Bandel (cf. Pt. I, Sketches respecting Bengal,
Calcutta, 1803, p. 49), and as he speaks elsewhere (cf. p. 52)
of the Life of Frey Joio da Cruz, we are led to believe that
the passage was copied from the Life by Frey Lawrence of
Grace.

The text is as follows: ‘‘ The day came when the martyr-
dom was to be accomplished. This was in the year 1633. The
Emperor ordained that the Very Rev. Father Frey Joao da
Cruz be cast at the feet of an infuriated elephant, to be
torn to pieces in his presence and that of the whole of
his court; but, the elephant forgetting his natural fierceness
knelt at the feet of the said Father and paid him his obei-
sance (fez lhe cortezias) and defended him with his proboscis.”
The whole Court and the Emperor too, seeing so great a pro-
digy, were unanimous in confessing that the said Very Rev.
Father Frey Joio da Cruz was a servant of God. He was
instantly brought before the Emperor and was told by him to
ask whatever he wished, for he would be granted it all. For
this he gave him three days’ time; but the said Father an-
swered he did not need so much time [for reflection]: he
wished only that His Majesty should let him free to return to
Bengal, and together with him all the Christian captives.”

Unfortunately for Asiaticus and a host of writers who seem
to have taken their inspiration from him, nothing allows us
so far to believe that the Friar was taken to Agra. i
gives us (cf. Itinerario, Ch. LXXXI) the names of the
four priests, two Augustinians and two secular priests, who

8. The Composition of Indian Yams.

By Davin Hooper.

In the Report of the Industrial Section, Indian Museum,
for 1903-04, reference was made to the examination of a large
number of tubers of species of Dioscorea, collected by the
Reporter on Economic Products to the Government of India.
About 30 kinds of these roots had been analysed with a view
to determine their comparative food value. Since that time
further varieties of the roots from plants, critically determined
by Mr. I. H. Burkill, have been examined; and it has been
considered desirable to publish the collective results. Since
som these roots have, in their natural state, poisonous
properties, and are eaten after being washed and cooked, an
investigation has been made of the effect of washing by show-
ing the composition of the tuber before and after tue process.
Tubers of authenticated plants have been tested for poisonous
principles and a record has been made of those species in which
they are either present or absent, with remarks on the influence
of cultivation in reducing the noxious properties. In the
majority of cases the roots were received in a fresh condition,
they were dried in the sun or in warm air, and the chemical
examination was made on the powdered root. The amount of
moisture in the fresh tubers ranged from 70 to 85 per cent., but
the results of the analyses, for the sake of comparison, are
exhibited in the following table calculated to the absolutely dry
sample.

It has long been known that the tubers of various species
of Dioscorea contain a bitter and acrid principle which renders
them unfit, in a raw state, for edible purposes. Some tubers
are used medicinally, either powdered and applied to sorés or
as a plaster, or in a fresh state, to disperse swellings. Occasion-
ally the tubers are given internally with some spice and sugar
for syphilis, dysentery and diarrhoea. In Sanskrit the tuber

is the name of ‘ Pashpoli’’ or « strangle cake ’’ on account
of its causing great irritation in the mouth and throat, vomit-
ing of blood and a sense of suffocation. The bruised root of
D. sikkimensis is used as a fish poison among the Lepchas of
Sikkim, and, according to Dr. Thwaites, the tubers of wild
Yam are used in

Groningen (Onderzoekingen over dioscorine. Diss. 1897) isolated
dioscorine, studied several of its salts, and, by elementary
analyses, established its composition. The results obtained
may thus be summarized :—

6. The picket melts at 183—184°.

7. Physiological experiments have shown that dioscorine

is a poison producing cramps in the same manner as
picrotoxin ; dioscorine however is less toxic than
this substance.

Dr. K. Gorter (Annales du Jardin Botanique de Buitenzorg,
1910, ay obtained 0°21 per cent. of this alkaloid in the dry
tubers, which is equivalent to ‘04 per cent. on the fresh tubers,
and further investigated its constitution. The alkaloid is sepa-
rated by extracting the powdered tubers with alcohol (96 per
cent.) acidulated with hydrochloric acid. The filtrate is eva-
porated, dissolved in water rendered alkaline by sodium car-
bonate, and agitated with chloroform. After distillation of the
chloroform, the dioscorine is determined in the residue’ by
titration with centinormal acid.

some kinds of D. alata; it was not detected in D. anguina,
D. belophylia and D. jasiculata. The tubers under cultivation
appeared to pt much of their acridity and bitterness. While
wild tubers of D. bulbifera and D. pentaphylla as a rule contain
alkaloids, the cultivated tubers were in some cases aes of
this constituent. Some of the tubers contained a tanning
matter giving a greenish colour with ferric salts. The alcoholic
extract of the tubers contained varying amounts of glucose

the world of treating the wild yams with water to remove the

by adding to it some karut, or the dregs of some stale butter-
milk ; itis then placed over the fire until half the liquid is
evaporated, and then strained or compressed by the hands, or
placed under a weight until the whole of the whey is pressed
out. In the Kuram Valley the curd is expressed by placing it
between two slabs of fresh bark from Deodar trees, with a large
stone on the top. The whey so removed is called ao-karut, and
the compressed curd, which is afterwards exposed to the heat
of the sun to be dried, is called karut. Dr. Aitchison adds:

Travellers in Tibet and Mongolia frequently speak of
chura or dried cheese prepared from yak’s milk as an article of
diet among the people. Mr. W. W. Rockhill refers to it in the
account of his interesting travels in 1891 and 1892,' and distin-
guishes between chura (dried curd), ti (a mixture of butter,
sugar and chura), djo or tarak (sour milk) and pima (cream
cheese). Itis therefore a preparation of casein similar to the
karut of Western Asia. Chura is also a substance of great
antiquity in Upper Asia, and Rockhill furnishes an interesting

The sample of dried cheese found in the Lepcha’s medicine
bag on the Nepal Frontier was a preparation of this kind. It
had the appearance and odour of cheese, but it would be des-
cribed by experts as harder and drier than any fromage maigre
met with in Switzerland.

Submitted to analysis it was found to have the composi-
tion of a dried skim cheese. No. 2 is the analysis of a sample

trichomatis diametro paulo crassioribus.

In stagnis cum Lophopodella carteri associata.

[This alga was found coating the stems of shrubs that grew
in the water at the edge of Igatpuri Lake. It formed irregular
gelatinous masses of a dark green colour. More or less distinct-
ly embedded in these masses were numerous colonies of the
polyzoon Lophopodella carters (Hyatt), a species also found,
often asec as on the lower surface of stones in the same
lake. Those colonies, however, which were associated with the
alga were of unusually vigorous growth, occurred in unusually
numbers in a comparatively small space, and did not
avoid the light as the species usually appears to do.—N. A.]

assumed that the investment was produced by the polyzoon,
but there seems to be no direct evidence that this is the
case, and the question naturally occurs, is not it rather pro-
duced by a symbiotic alga? The polyzoon does not appear to
possess any special mechanism for its secretion, whereas alge
of the genus Dactylococcopsis are usually contained in a gela-
tinous mass. Iam not aware that any such alga has been des-
cribed from the Palzarctic species of Pectinatella, but the fact
that in their case also the investment has a greenish colour
would suggest that one is associated with them.—N. A.]

14. Note on Stereulia alata Roxb, var. irregularis,—a
remarkable instance of leaf variation.

By W. W. Situ.

n the Royal Botanic Garden, Sibpur, Calcutta, there is a
Sterculia alata which has attained the normal size of the species
in this area and which has been known for many years as

e

time, approximately 40 years ago, the majority of which form
an adjoining avenue. e flowers and fruits are quite normal
but, whereas the leaves of ‘des ordinary Sterculia a’zla are
cordate, ovate, acute, with an entire or slightly undulating
margin, the leaves in this abnormal form present a great
variety of shapes and it is difficult to find any two alike. As

but the remarkable feature here is the amount of variation in
the leaves of the single tree.

The leaves are palmi-nerved with normally 7 main veins
(more rarely 5-6) radiating from the apex of the petiole. Of
these the outer two are much weaker than the others. The
chief lines of variation are :—

(1) Deep lobin

(2) Excessive elongation of one lobe, generally that of
the central vein but not always s

(3) Elongation of one lobe with shnteabinn at its base
so as in some cases to leave only the midrib and
thus cut off a leaflet

(4) Development of only < one half of the leaf—on one
side of the midrib only.

(5) Variation in size.

Several of these variations may occur in one and the same
leaf. The accompanying illustration (plate 4) gives some idea
of the degree of variation. The local name for this tree is the
pagla g ee.

Some years ago experiments were made with a view to
finding out what percentage of the seeds of this tree produced
plants like the parent. The seeds of the first three fruit-bear-
ing years were sown, with the result that 3 to 5 per cent. of

86 Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bengal. [March, 1911.]

the seedlings showed variation, and about 1 per cent. as great
a variation as the mother tree. During these three years the
percentage of abnormality apparently rose as noted by Lieut.-
Col. Prain to whom I am indebted for the information concern-
ing these experiments. In 1910 the trial of seeds was

15. A Visit to Kapdla-Muchan.
By Ananp Kovt.

Ud

During my last inspection tour towards Supayan, I paid a
visit to Kapala-Muchan or Digom on 20th June, 1909. This is
a place of Hindu pilgrimage situated in the south-western
corner of the Valley about 24 miles from Srinagar. There are
three springs here close to one another. At the main spring is
an old lingam, rough and unhewn, and also some old sculptured
stone images said to have been unearthed from the adjacent
fields.

2. Recently the priests of this place, named Laksman
Bayu and Visna Bayu, while digging near the point
where the waters of the three springs meet, discovered a stone
with a Sanskrit inscription in Sarada character. As this is
only a fragment, the exact meaning of the inscription cannot
be made out.

It would seem that there was an ancient monument here

.

The priests have since succeeded in unearthing another
fragment of the inscribed stone, and it is far more important
than the one previously found, inasmuch as it gives the date
of the monument in which the engraved stone had been erected.

This inscription, like that of the stone previously dis-
covered, is in Sanskrit in the Sarada character and of the same
style and purport. I give below a hand copy of it :—

but Brahma, who then had five heads, told Siva falsely from
his fifth mouth that he had seen the end of the lingam.
Siva knew that what he had said was untrue; so he, getting
enraged, cut off Brahma’s fifth head for having told a lie,
and then dismissed them both saying that neither of them
was greater than the other. But the sin of cutting off the
head remained attached to Siva. In order to get rid of it, he
performed different pilgrimages, yet it did not leave him.
Afterwards he went to Kapala-Muchan, and lo! here the sin left
him. Since then this pilgrimage is called Degrami (now short-
ened into Digom) or Kap4la-Muchan, the former implying “‘ the
village where afterwards Siva had to go ’’ and the latter ‘‘ the
place where the sin of cutting off the head went away.”

Siva was freed of the sin he was pleased, and he sanctified the
place by saying that deceased children might attain salvation
by their Sraddha being performed here.

. A fair is annually held here in August on the 12th of
the bright fortnight of Sawan. Thousands of people collect
here that day, and those who have lost their children during the
past twelve months perform their Sraddha and give their
clothes, ornaments, etc., in charity. The priests keep a
number of young boys ‘and girls here on the occasion, and

fair several people may be seen giving golden and silver
images of different creatures in charity.

16. Methylamine Nitrite (Methylammonium Nitrite).
By PraruLLta CHanpra Ray and JiTeENDRA Natu RaksairT.

(Preliminary note.)
When mercuric hitritie solution is treated with dilute
f ;

Chem. Soc. 1902, Vol. 81, 644). Recently, a solution of mer-
curic nitrite was similarly treated with dilute methylamine.
The precipitate which was thus obtained proved on analysis to
be dimercurammonium nitrite, pure and simple.’ The filtrate,
amounting to about 25 c.c., was distilled in a vacuum at tem-
peratures gradually raised from 45°—50°, (Cf. decomposition
and sublimation of ammonium nitrite, Trans., Chem. Soc. 1909,
Vol. 95, 345).

In the earlier stages of the operation water distilled off
with minute bubbles of nitrogen; but later on the ‘click ”’
remained persistent and water alone was given off. When the
solution had attained the consistency of a thick syrup the
temperature was raised . ae Degen bubbles once more began
to be evolved. This maintained from 3 to 4 hours,
after which on fees of ‘the “distilling tube from the water-bath,
the liquid crystallised en masse. On heating the crystals to
75° rapid decomposition took place, the products being methyl!
alcohol, span oe and nitrogen—the characteristic reaction
between a primary amine and nitrous acid. The crystals
which were of a pale yellow colour also copiously liberated
iodine from an acidified potassium iodide solution

e are at present engaged in preparing the homologues of
the series by the above method and also by the double decom-
position between the mabe aetna methylamine halides and
silver nitrite. We hope to communicate the details of the
experiments at an early date. It may added for the
present that by this latter method we have obtained a much
larger and purer yield of methylamine nitrite.

17. Folklore of the origin of the constellation Mriga-
shirsha,
By B. A. Guprs.

In the Shiva-ratri-vrat-katha of the Linga-Puran, there is
a story about apace the 14th or dark night of the month
of Magh. It ru

In the ear bel border-land of Pratyanta there lived
a hunter named Lubdhaka. He earned his livelihood by shikar.
On the day just named, he was arrested by his creditors and
confined in a Shiva’s temple. There he saw the emblem of
Shiva and heard his name repeated by the devotees. «‘Shiva,’’
‘* Shiva ,’’ he began repeating out of jest; the result was that
his sins began disappearing in proportion. In the afternoon
of the day, some of the worshippers subscribed a sum sufficient
to meet the demand of the creditor and released him. He
then went to the south to hunt Night overtook him, he had
no food ; that worked as a fast. He went to a tank and sat
on the branch of a tree of Bael (A4igle marmelos) sacred to
Shiva. In order to clear the vision, he plucked the leaves of
the tree and threw them down. They fell on Shiva that lay
hidden below. All.these unconscious acts added to his credit.
At the end of the first quarter of the night, there came to the

_ tank a doe big with youngs. He aimed an arrow, she spoke -

to him in human voice, promised to return after laying down
her foetus, and went away. Then came another doe in heat.
t was her breeding season. She ke, she swore, she was
allowed to go. She was followed ‘es a 5 lak buck in search of
her. The same thing happened. Lastly came a doe with
young ones: she also was allowed to go. They all returned to
the hunter as promised. He was a changed man. He refused
to kill them. He and the antelope family were all taken to the
Nakshatra-lok or heaven.

The story has been published in the Shivalila-mrita, but
there is no mention of the constellation. The following ex-
tracts from the text give the origin of five Mriga-nakshatra or
the fifth mansion of the Moon. (Fig. The meaning is :—

h Mriga, go to the position os a soma, with your
cout. that constellation shall be named after you. The way
the two does went to heaven is still visible. There are two
bright stars near the constellation. They represent Lubdhak,
the hunter. Below these, there are three more bright stars.
They are called Mrig-shirsha, literally the head of an antelope.
In front of the constellation are two stars representing the
young ones, and a third one to mark the position of the doe.

94 Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bengal. [April, 1911.

In the Zodiac, the 9th mansion is Sagittarius shaped like a
hunting centaur. (Fig, 1.) «It is god Negal of the Assyrians.
Egyptian and Hindu astronomers give merely the bow as its
symbol, and so do the Greeks.# (Figure 3 is however taken from
Brennand’s Hindu Astronom -) '

Lubdhak stands at 63° of longitude and 10° south latitude.’
This is why the story mentions that the hunter went to the
south after his release from the temple.

Sagittarius is the hunter of the Zodiac, Capricornus or
Goat’s-horn was perhaps the antelope of the western ancients.
Sir Monier William identifies Capricornus with Mrigasya
- (anteloped-faced). (Fig. 2.)

© scenes may vary, the constellations may vary, accord-
ing to the solar or lunar mansions, but the fact remains that a
ee and an antelope of the celestial orb are the basis of this
olklore.

The perusal of the Sanskrit passage quoted below and the
clear vision there was of the Mri i

lac more carefully, and I found that Shiva’s
its one side and Parvati’s lion, Leo, on the
Cancer remained to be ac-

as Parvati’s charger Lion, <e) (5) the group of stars extol Cancer
as the ganas of Shiva with their ish or chief Ganesh complete
what is known as Shiva-Panchayatana—five in one (Fig. 5).
This, I believe, is a new idea not recorded before. I therefore
submit it to the Society for further investigation. If Sagit-
tarius is god Negal of the Assyrians, if Virgo is the Venus of
the Grecians, if Lubdhak is a manifestation of Shiva of the
Hindus, there is reason to believe that Gemini or Mithun is the
eternal Yugma of Shiva, and that Taurus, Leo, and Cancer are
its concomitants. I reproduce the figures for ready reference
and for contemplation of the celestial origin of god Shiva.
(Fig. 6

The southern border-land Pratyanta points to the equator.
The confinement of the hunter means his disappearance below
the horizon, the intervening stars in the celestial orb between
Sirius and Gemini are possibly the bael leaves, and the way the
antelopes took is possibly the well-known milky wa

This is not a new way of thinking. E. W. Maunder in his

‘* Astronomy without a Telescope ’’ tells us at page 11, that
‘* In several cases there are groups of figures which form some-
thing like a connected story; Hercules and the Dragon, Perseus
and Andromeda are examples.’

The story of the hunter and the antelope with oe con-
n oup of the Shiva’s Panchayatana are but examples
of the same process when examined through Hindu a

The following extract speaks for itself :—

—and the lingam is undoubtedly one of the most ancient idol
objects of homage adopted in India, subsequently to the ritual

The worship of Shiva seems to have come about the begin-

long to descant on the suburbs, which are many, or to enlarge

what to the west of the new city

I need add little in comment. To residents in Delhi or
to those who have visited the place, the allusions are clear
enough. Ali will recognize in the marble pillar erected by
Firdz Shah the famous Asoka lat. We can only wonder why
Father Monserrate, generally so detailed in his descriptions,
should have made no allusion to the inscriptions. Not so
W. Finch, or rather Purchas, his editor.

It matters little if Monserrate’s pet theory about Christian
Kings having once ruled at Delhi cannot be defended. The
general accuracy of his description of Firdz Shah’s reign is amply
borne out by the Muhammadan historians, notably by the
Tabakat-i-Akbari and Firishta. They mention among his works
of public utility:—‘‘ Five canals (band-i-jiz), [Firishta says
‘*£.0’?]; 4 Mosques [Firishta says ‘‘40’’]; 30 Colleges; 20
Monasteries (khdnkdh); 100 Palaces (kishk) ; 200 Caravanserais
(rabdl); 300 Towns; 5 Tanks (hauz) ; 5 Hospitals; 100 Mausolea ;
10 Baths; 10 Monumental Pillars (mindra); 150 Wells; 100
Bridges; and gardens beyond number.’’ Cf. Exrior, Hist. of
India, IV, 18 n. 1.

E. Thomas writes :—
‘One of the many deficiencies a modern mind detects

in the long list of buildings, canals, dams, bridges, and other
works enumerated by him, is the total omission of even the
name of a road, India’s greatest want, and the deficiency of
which the Sultan had so signally experienced while personally
in command of retiring armies.’’ (Cf. The Chron. of the Pathan
Kings of Delhi, London, 1871, p. 274.)

t should not surprise us, if some of the works executed
under Firdz Shah had been attributed by fulsome flatterers to
later rulers, in particular to Akbar and Jahangir. It has been

the case in so many other instances. At any rate, let it be

examined independently every reference to Delhi in Mr. V. A.

We were more successful in another direction. In Descrip-

reference to the tunnels with sufficient proof that even as late
as 1852 the tradition concerning them was not yet extinct.
**(Ch.] XIII. Kuschak of Firoz Schah, or Kotila of Firoz
chah
In the year 755 of the hegira (1354 A.D.), when it was
Firoz Schah’s turn to reign, he had this castle (kuschak) erected
on the border of the river,* on the confines of the place called
Kddin,* and near to {attenant a) this kuschak, he built a town.
In this palace, they had made three subterranean passages
(conduits), so as to be able to ride out that way with the
women of the palace (afin de pouvoir sortir par la sur des mon-
tures avec les femmes du palais). There was a passage of three
jarib,> on the side of the river, another near the belvedere,°
two cosses long, and a third on the side of Old Dehli, five
cosses in length. Now, it is evident that by Old Dehli we
must understand the castle and town of Raja Pithaura, for
the third passage is in that place, and very old people say ‘that
he went as far as a marvellous place and a special basin

Clearest of all is ae text in the Azn, Colonel Jarrett’s
translation, ii, 279. It brings us back much nearer to the
passage in Carr Stephen.

‘* Sultan Firéz (1351—88) gave his own name to a large
town which he founded, and by a cutting from the Jumna
brought its waters to flow by. He likewise built another
palace at a distance of 3 kos from Firézdbad, named Jahan-
numd (the world-view). Three subterranean passages were
made wide enough to admit of his passing along in mounted
procession with the ladies of his harem; that towards the
river, 5 jaribs in length; the rues towards the Jahannuma,
2 kés, and the third to Old Delhi, 3 kés

may remark at once that, according to the Ain, the
third tunnel to Old Delhi was only 3 kos long, whereas the
text of Ahmad Khan and Carr Stephen speaks of 5 kos. This
divergence may be due to a different reading in the work con-
sulted by Ahmad Khan. We note also that whereas, according
to the Ain, the tunnel to the Jahdénnumd was 2 kos long, the
distance between Firozabad and the Jahdnnuma is said to have
been 3 kos in length.

The Jahdnnuma is identical with the Kushk-i Shikar.
‘The same king (Firoz Schdh) had had another palace con-
structed at a distance of three cosses from the town of Firoza-
bad (cf. Térikh-t Firischta), besides the edifices of which we
have spoken, and had given it the name of Jdhan Numa
(belvedere, literally, the world-viewing edifice). Between the

Firoz Shah, and this palace, a subterranean. passage,
two cosses in length, "had been constructed. It is that way
that the king would go out in palanquin with the women of
the palace.’” Cf. Saryap AuMaD KHAN, op. cit., Pt. I, Ch.

From this it is clear that, whoever be the author of the
passage quoted by Carr Stephen, it is a correct interpretation
of either Saiyad Ahmad Khan or of the Ain

It is, certainly , interesting to note that in Carr Stephen’s
time (1876) traces of the tunnel between Firozibid and the
Kiushk-i Shikar were still visible. They are therestill. ‘‘ Within
a few yards on the north of Hindu Raéo’s house on the ridge,
is a deep hollow, and on its northern side there are two low
openings together forming one entrance, which seem to lead
into a tunnel. The people in the neighbourhood also point
out an air-shaft about 150 feet to the north'of the entrance. All
attempts to explore the tunnel have hitherto failed.’’! Cf. op.
cit., p. 126. We may well ask whether any serious efforts had
been made, and by whom ?

Mr. E. D. Maclagan writes to me: ‘‘ My brother, Col. R. 8.
Maclagan, R. E., Superintending Engineer, P.W.D., Amballa,
says that a few ‘years ago [in or about 1891] in a baoli (a well

passage about 6’ x 2’, which they cleared for a little distance in
the hot weather, till they came to a hedgehog and a snake.

stir even in Firoz Shéh’s time. Was it not altogether
unprecedented ? It would be strange, therefore, if Firoz

suggests, they had inherited from the Medes and the Persians.
Daniel, Esdras and the Book of Esther show with what
religious care their historians chronicled every event. Doubt-
less, the same practice flourished under Firoz Shah.

These instances notwithstanding, the theory advanced by my
friends cannot, in the light of the Ain, be encouraged. Other
texts should be brought forward. We have none. Future
excavations may show that the Ain is wrong; meanwhile, we
must be satisfied that it is correct.

Aqueducts terminate in tanks or wells, or connect rivers.
We have no allusions to the Delhi tunnels having had such
exits. Had they been aqueducts, the explanations of the Ain
could not have been entertained, as the matter was easy to
verify, at atime when the passages were in a much better state
of preservation than they are now. They were certainly not
used as aqueducts in Abd-l Fazl’s time, i.e. before 1596-1597,
when the Aim was completed, nor in Monserrate’s time (1581),
nor in the lifetime of Akbar (1542—1605), or else, Akbar’s
favourite historian should have known. From Firoz Shéh’s
death (1388) to Akbar’s birth, only 154 years had intervened.

secretaries and historians. At Akbar’s death, the inventory of
his treasures shows that his library contained 24,000 volumes,
most of them ancient works, the whole being valued at
Rs. 6,463,731.”

Is it too much to hope that, before the arrival of the King-
Emperor, something will be done to restore, or at least to
explore, these tunnels? However great the difficulties may
have been to construct them,—-and I am told that the nature
of the ground near Delhi must have made the work one
of exceptional difficulty—Firoz Shah overcame them. What
difficulty could there be to examine what purpose the tunnels
served? We are told that they exist, and where they are.
What more can we wish ?

While these notes were going through the press, I received
some further correspondence, which, though not affecting our
main argument, it will be useful to record.

19. Interaction of Hydrazine Sulphate
with Nitrites, and a new method for the determination of
“ Nitritic’’ Nitrogen.

By Biman Benart Dey, M.Sc., and Hemenpra Kumar
EN, B.A

Consequent upon the discovery of the unstable alkylamine
nitrites (vide Trans. Chemical Society 1911) by Ray and Raks-
hit, we undertook the preparation, if possible, of the nitrites
of Hydrazine and Hydroxylamine which are strong bases.
The possibility of a hydrazine nitrite was further strengthened
by the existence of a dithionate of the same base which has
been described by Sabanieff (Journ. Chem. Soc. 1899, Ab-
stracts, Part II, page 364). Accordingly, we tried to prepare
the salt by a double decomposition between Barium-Nitrite
and Hydrazine Sulphate. On mixing the solutions of the two
substances there was immediate precipitation of Barium

cold, which readily decomposes with the rise of temperature.
The isolation of the pure nitrite had therefore to be given up,
and our attention was directed to a systematic examination of
the gases evolved, hoping thereby to gain some information as
to the nature of the reactions occurring. It was at first sup-
posed that the nitrous acid liberated would act upon the
Hydrazine or amido-amine, in the same manner as it does with
ammonia or amines, the reaction proceeding according to the
following equation.
H.NH,+HO.NO = H.OH +N,+H_0.
NH, HO.NO OH N, H,0
| cs ef eae
NH, . HONO “OH N, H,0

It would appear from the above that the reaction would
be accompanied by the formation of hydrogen peroxide in
solution, and a regular search was therefore made for the
latter. On applying the ether-chromic acid and titanium solu-

with a solution of Barium nitrite, the beaker water having
some hydrazine sulphate dissolved in it. As the two solutions
came in contact with each other, there was a slow evolution of
gas observed, the evolution increasing with time. The gas was
allowed to collect over night. A rough analysis of the gas
next morning showed that it was a mixture consisting of
almost equal proportions of nitrogen and nitrous oxide. As
will be shown later, this proportion was a mere chance, and the
large volume of water over which it was collected dissolved
out a considerable amount of the soluble gas, namely nitrous
oxide. Starting with this preliminary observation, accurate
experiments were next made in the following way: A fairly
strong solution of barium-nitrite (the barium nitrite available
in the market being found rather impure, a pure solution ob-
tained by the interaction of Silver Nitrite and Barium Chloride

Mercury, and a small pellet of Hydrazine sulphate in excess
was introduced at the bottom. As soon as the hydrazine salt

and vigorously shaken up until all the nitrous oxide was dis-
solved and the volume constant. On re eating the same
experiment, it was found that although the volume of nitrogen

gas volume varied also, increasing with the concentration of the
Barium Nitrite and diminishing with the dilution. The diver-

tity of water to wash it down (about 2 c.c), the maximum
amount of gas was obtained, and the proportion of nitrous
oxide to nitrogen was found to be no longer 1:1, but approxi-
mately 2: 1; in fact, on the assumption that the deficit in the
amount of gas was due to nitrous oxide dissolved in the water
employed, and applying the usual corrections for the solubility
of nitrous oxide in water at the temperature of the experiment
(32°C), the proportion of N,O: N, was found to be exactly 2: 1.

The ordinary decomposition of the di-acid hydrazine
nitrite, ecataing the hydrogen ree theory, would seem to
proceed along the following lines :—

NH, ON.OH N: N.OH
oa > >——> | (hypothetical) 3% ——> N,+N.O
NH, ON.OH N: N.OH

This equation, though quite analogous to the equation
representing the reaction between hydroxylamine and nitrous

N--OH

l
acid giving rise to hyponitrous acid N—OH, fails to explain
the gasometric relations between nitrous oxide and nitrogen
actually observed. The fact should not be lost sight of, that
the experiment was conducted with excess of the Hydrazine
salt, and consequently, the formation of the monacid hydrazine
nitrite is only too possible, which would decompose thus

NH,
| - +NO.OH = NH, + N,O + HO.
NH

2

Taking the two equations together, we find that the pro-
portion of nitrous oxide to nitrogen actually observed, exactly
agrees with that demanded by the above equations conjointly.
As, according to the above equations, ammonia e of
products of reaction, it must have remained in solution as the
sulphate. That ammonia is really formed, was demonstrated
beyond doubt by treating the solution remaining after the
reaction, with eaaes yee when a strong smell of ammonia
was perceived. As will be shown subsequently, the quanti-
tative determination or the ammonia formed is useless, in so far
as the determination of the ratio of the nitrogen evolved to the
total nitritic nitrogen of Barium nitrite, would be a better
evidence and check as to the reactions actually occurring. It
is important to note here, that the above statements have been
found to be true not only of Barium nitrite, but also of the
nitrites of the alkalis, the alkaline-earth metals, of those of the
heavy metals, etc., and in fact of nitrites in general. In sup-
port of what has preceded, the actual data of a few of the
numerous experiments done are given below :-—

112 Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bengal. (April, 1911.

Experiment with Barium Nitrite Solution.

T. 01 cc. of the stock Barium Nitrite solution gave
nitrogen = 3:2 c.c. at 30° C by. the ‘‘ Urea ’’ method.

Therefore ‘eal ** nitritic’’ nitrogen = 16 C.c.

0:5 c.c. of the above solution diluted to 8 c.c. in the ‘‘ Crum”
gave with solid excess of hydrazine sulphate 11°5 c.c. total gas,
and 5°3 c.c. nitro :

The solubility of nitrous oxide in 8 c.c. of water at 30° C
(temperature of the experiment) is given by the following
formula: C=1-305—-0453 t+-00068 t?=1:305 — -0453 x 30 +
00068 x 900 =°55 nearly.

ence for 8 c.c. dilution, solubility=8 x 55=4-4 c.c.
Adding this to the 11°5 c.c. gas actually obtained, we have
total volume of mixed gas equal to 15°9 c.c.; that required
according to the equations stated above is equal to 16:0 c.c.
The amount of “ nitritic”’ nitrogen in 0°5 c.c. of the Barium
nitrite solution, as found above, is equal to 8c.c. The nitrogen
obtained in the present experiment by the action of hydrazine
sulphate upon the 0:5 c.c. Barium nitrite solution is equal to
53c.c. The te of the latter nitrogen to the former is there-
fore equal to > == %, which is the ratio expected.

A better confirmation of the above equations cannot be
expected, and the ares estimation of ammonia has hence
been thought useless

II. 0-5 c.c. of the same solution diluted to 5 c.c. gave
total volume of gas equal to 13'1 c.c. and nitrogen =5'3 ¢.c.
Allowing for solubility by the above formula, S =5 x *55 = 2°75 c.c.

Therefore total volume is ve ig to 13°1 + 2°75 = 15°85 c.c.

Theoretical volume = 16:0 ¢

Ill. 0°5c.c. diluted to 2 c.c. gave total volume of gas
equal to 147 c.c. and N=5-3e¢
S=2x °65=1°'1 c.c.

Therefore total volume is equal to 14:7 + 1:1 =15°8 c.c.
Theoretical volume equal to 16 c.c.

4 c.c. of the above stock solution with solid excess of

gas equal to 6:1 c.c. and nitrogen =3'1 c.c.

Allowing for the solubility, S=6 x -55=3°3 c.c.

Therefore total volume equal to 61+ 3°3=9°4 c.c.

Theoretical volume = 9°2 c.c.

II. 40c.c. of the stock solution . a dilution of 10 c.c.
gave total gas equal to 40 c.c. and N=3'l c.c.

Allowing for the solubility, S= 55 x 102 5:5 c.c.

Therefore total volume is equal to 4:0 +5°5=9'5 c.c.

Theoretical volume equal to 9-2 c.c.

Obviously the 10 c.c. of water was not saturated with
nitrous oxide, and the volume, therefore, a little in excess.

for it is evident. Non-ionised nitrites cannot take part in the
reaction.

Estimation of Nitritic Nitrogen.

The most far-reaching result of the reactions indicated
above, is the very easy and convenient estimation of the nitritic
content of nitrites in general, as weli as those of allied organic

ases, e.g., tetralkylammonium bases. On comparing the

nitrogen evolved is strictly 2/3rds of what is contained in the
amount of nitrite taken for experiment. It will not be useless
to repeat that this exactness of the volume of the residual gas,

made up to

date, and the two-thirds rule has been found to be unswervedly
correct. The following figures will justify this assertion :—

_ “Nitritic’’ nitrogen required by the ‘‘ Urea’? method

A. B.
4°35 4°35
8°7 8°7
8-7 8°75
5°8 58
6°65 67
etc. ete

__ It is worth while to note, that in practice, three washings
with about 20 c.c. of water in each case, are quite sufficient
to dissolve the nitrous oxide, and the extremely slight solu-
bility of nitrogen hardly interferes with the result. We can
very safely recommend it to be used along with the ‘‘ Urea ’’
method, if not in preference to it.

We are at present engaged in investigating the actions of
the persulphates upon hydrazine and hydroxylamine salts, and
hope to communicate the results in a short time.

_ 4n conclusion, we beg to express our thanks to Dr. P. C.
Ray for his encouragement, and for allowing us to use some of
his newly prepared Amine nitrites.

20. ** Gaveta.’’

By Witu1am Irvine,

In Father Hosten’s article on ‘‘ the Marsden MSS. in the
British Museum,’ Journal, A.S.B., Vol. VI, No. 8, 1910,
pp. 437 to 461, Mr. Philipps remarks (p. 44 5) that on the
documents we have sometimes the word Gaveta, and Father
Hosten’s note (3) adds: ‘‘a drawer, in reference to the

ept.”” f thi

pa aaa can made more definite by a reference to
p. vi in the Tekeodasticn to F. C. Danver’s ‘‘ Report on the
Portuguese Records...., 1892.’ ‘‘ The Gavetas Antiqas (old
‘* drawers) is a miscellaneous collection of 195 bundles..
‘* They were originally kept in 20 old drawers in the Archivo
‘*da Torre do Tombo.’’ The documents in the Marsden MSS.
which are marked Gaveta possibly belonged originally to the
same collection as the Gavetas Antigas, now in Lisbon.

other point in the article may be cleared up. On
p. 454 Mr. Beveridge, referring to a mention of Sir Thomas
Roe by Father Botelho, 8.J., suggests that ‘it might hint
‘to some MSS. of Roe which have disappeared.’’ At Mr.
Beveridge’s instance I consulted the Portuguese version (the
original text) and found the Father spoke there of ‘a

little book ’’ and called it a ‘‘ Commentario.”” On submitting
the matter to one W. Foster, he recognized at once that the
reference was to J. deLaet’s ‘* Commentarius,’ published

in 1631. The fall title is “‘ De Imperio Magni Mogolis, sive
‘* India Vera, Commentarius, e variis auctoribus congestus,’’
Leiden, Elzevir Press, 1631. Among the various authors used
(Preface, p. 4) was “Thomas Roeus, Eques.’

21. Some Notes on Urdu Grammar.

By Lievt.-Cotonet D. C. Painitortr, F.A.S.B., Secretary,
Board of Examiners.

The following points of Urdu grammar appear to have
ee the notice of grammarians :—

The precative viele be the Imperative (Sas45 kijiyega)
is Dott masculine and fe

2. While the verb ty Tahal suffixed to the Conjunctive
Participle of transitive or intransitive verbs, signifies ‘to do after
effort or determination’ (vide Hind. Man.), its ‘future suffixed to
the root of an intransitive verb indicates indefinite time —‘‘ some
time or other.’’ Fath ho-hi-kar rahegi Ss) 55 2 92 e means
victory is certain,’’? but fath ho-hi sakes skid) (sb " m
victory will be ours some time or other.’

3. The shortened form of the Conjunctive ae
indicates haste. Thus in bS,a 1365 fF Ly) emo Kigdi
wuh kham thonk mujh se larne ko khara ho-gaya, the rie
form thonk, indicates more haste than thonk-kar would.

The finite verb, too, after the shortened or hasty form,
must be compound, or intensive, or separated from the
participle by other words, as: Main salam kar champat huwa (but
not the simple verb, bhaga, (‘Fly not) tye “sem 5S — wer; wuh
sir jhuka baith-gaya (not baitha), (les not) ug Gdas Kym yoo By ;
wuh lathi le mere pichhe daura \jys meP4s yr 2 os) %y ; not
wuh lathi le daura, though lathe le daur-gaya might be used. It
ce be noticed that in the Imperative, the case is reversed,

: Rott kha @,o, and not kha a-ja,o; if the final verb is to be
gia phntts. you must say khakar (jaldi) a-ja,0.

4. The repetition of an adjective is not merely intensive
as indicated in the grammars, thus ow t,* gs) cs dhei thandi
thandt hawa,en does not mean “ very cool breezes,”” but
‘¢ pleasantly cool breezes.” Examples :—

(a) £2) 3 see 3 see chhote chhote larke, ‘‘ various, or many
small, or very small children ’’ (according to the tone of voice) ;
here the repetition would usually indicate plurality only,
—as also in uski chhoti chhoti ankhen hain, ‘it has small eyes ’
(or very small eyes).

118 Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bengal. [April, 1911.}

(0) lS (55% csy® hari hart ghis, ‘grass pleasantly green
all over, green everywhere’’; lal lal chihra, ‘‘a face red all
over ’’ (in a flattering sense or otherwise).

(0) &g90 $36 ¥jU taza taza didh, ‘‘milk quite fresh, still

warm ”’ (i.e. milk fresh from amongst fresh milk). Here, too,
the aa is ‘fresh for the time’: vide (d).

(d) Spee gue Sane stikha sukha chihra, “a somewhat drawn
face (for the time)’’: udas udas chihra, ‘‘a somewhat sad face
(for the time)’’: if su#kha or udas were not repeated, the idea
would not be ey sadness, but sadness either permanent
or lasting a long tim

(€) 3995 wl e” e~ sach sach bayan karo, ‘‘tell the whole
truth and the truth only.’’

It will be seen that the repetition of the adjective before a
plural noun may be either intensive or simply lural, thus,
achche achche parhanewale =‘ many very good teachers” ; chhott
chhott kitaben alag rakho, bart bart alag means ‘‘ put ‘all the
small books apart together and all the big ones apart together.”
Before a singular noun the repetition does not signify ‘ very’.

*O you Chan-man-ni! ’
‘What do you say, my Lord ?
‘We used to breakfast on seven tigers,
What are we to do to-day with only one ?’

The tale runs thus :—In a forest there lived a pair of jac-
kals. One day a tiger happened to arrive near their den. See-
ing the danger approach, the jackal exclaimed to his wife :—
**Q you Chén-man-ni!’’ The wife replied, ‘‘What do you say, .
my Lord?’’ The jackal said: ‘‘ We were breakfasting every
day on seven tigers, what shall we do to-day with only one ?
Thereupon the tiger being greatly afraid of the jackals, ran
for his life.

My excuse for introducing the above Bibliography is that
it may be of use to others interested in the wandering and
casteless tribes of India. A reference to these authorities, whe-
ther they be the severe official recorder of facts or the ardent
‘*ovpsiologist,*’? will show that many, if not all, have suc-
cumbed to the fascination of discovering linguistic likenesses, an
perhaps what is nearer the mark, the similarity of purpose be-
twee

gypsy tribes. Although these recognized Gypsy tribes of India
are not by any means bound by such ties as a common argot, it
is in this connection that the Bibliography might be appreciated.
Most of the authorities quoted give vocabularies of various
secret and slang languages, and there are certainly many
instances to be found of the resemblance of words ; for example
between the collection ot Nut words by Capt. D. Richardson 100
years ago, and the Baoris cant given by Mr. Gayer in his lectures

divided up into exogamous septs, mostly totemistic ; and a
case of a girl of a sept or sub-section from near Poona (Guzerati)

observation. From such alliances—which are not at all un-
common—between parties from districts hundreds of miles apart,

we must expect a certain common use or union of dialects,
and a resultant patois or argot which combined with the tribal
special ‘‘ slang ’’ provides a sufficiently extensive vocabulary

must eventually result in the discarding of any real original
language, and a constantly changing argot. Much interest there-
fore attaches to words with which we can show some analogy in
the various secret languages of Gypsies, whether in India or in
Europe.

call themselves Gehards, and supply the local Tent Clubs!
of Delhi and Muttra with shikaries. It was owing to their
tactics during the earlier days of our acquaintance that I was
fired with a desire to get to know more about them. It was
common knowledge in villages and in ‘‘ camp’’ among syces and
others that these Kanjar-lég had a boli? of their own: but
my earlier attempts at linguistic research in this direction
were not successful. My informers unb!ushingly foisted on
me what I subsequently discovered to be absolute gibberish,
and it was only after I had known the clans settled in and
around Delhi for some years, that I was really admitted into
their confidence. It also so happened that about nine years ago
I was in a measure instrumental in getting these Gehdrds
exempted from the more rigorous operations of the Criminal
Tribes Act, and I believe I thus became something of a

apparent breach of confidence in committing their meagre
cant to the care of the Asiatic Society. This particular branch
of the tribe whom I discovered to the local authorities as
Gehdrds, and who have been mostly the source of my informa-
tion, are now more or less occupied in the peaceful pursuits of
making khas khas tatties and collecting pig’s bristles, while
the adventurous among them find scope for their natural bent
in following ‘‘ the line’’ of the Tent Club or taking the globe-
trotter out shikaring. As I say, the Gehdrdé sub-section of the
Xunchbanciya Kanjarsin and around Delhi are now a prac-
ically settled community, and any interest therefore whic

‘* Ramaseeana or Vocabulary of the Thugs ’’ which gives Dog=
Jokkur. Further interest attaches to this word from the fact
that the dog is a totem common to the Kanjar and allied
Indian tribes.

Another word to be noticed is Mail—a Horse in Kunch-
bandya, while in Gypsy, according to Smart and Crofton,
we have meila=an Ass ; Hoyland moila, Harriot maila—an ass
or donkey. Irvine myla: Borrow mailla; again Sleeman’s
Ramaseeana gives mawil a horse. This with Jokkur a dog
in the language of the Thugs is suggestive, and may indicate
the existence in days gone by of relations closer than mere
cant between the Thugs and Kanjars. It is easy to see
that mail might be pronounced as mawil, and in the case of
Jokkur the interchange of the last letter r for | is a common
variation. :

Lodbhar in the Kunchbandiya Kanjar vocabulary is a

or spoken in India.”’ ;

Mr. Nesfield’s vocabulary consists of eighteen words, all
of which are confirmed in the collection I have made—
with one exception, and that is the word ‘ Wife’ the Kanjar
for which Mr. Nesfield gives as gihdri. Now I have particularly
referred to the sub-section of Kanjars who call themselves
Gehdrds. ‘The feminine for Gehdra is of course Gehari, and the
wife of a Gehdrd or for that matter any woman of the
tribe would be called Gehdri—just as we have the feminine
for Jat as Jatni Rajput, Rajputni, or Chokrd a boy, chokri a
girl, and soon. Gihdri therefore is only ‘‘ the wife of a Gehdra,”’
and is not the common word for ‘‘wife.’’ I venture to
emphasize this point as it is largely from the Gehdrd Kanjars

the rigors of the Criminal Tribes Act, that these several
families first openly declared themselves to be Gehdrds and not
jars. ave not come across Gehdrd as either

written previous to 1883, and the conclusion is that Gehdrd is a
secret tribal name, which it has only recently been found con-
venient to divulge.

24. The Evidence of the Faridpur Grants.
By Raxwat Das Banersi, M.A.

In July last Mr. F. E. Pargiter, late of the Indian Civil
Service, published three copperplate grants found in East
Bengal in the ‘‘Indian Antiquary.’’ The earliest of these
plates was discovered twenty years ago and the discovery
announced in 1892. Dr. Hoernle promised an edition of this
copperplate eighteen years ago.! It appears from Mr.
Pargiter’s article that the plates, now three in number, were
sent to the late Prof. Kielhorn in March 1905, but his sudden
removal from this world prevented him from dealing with
them. This indeed was unfortunate, as Dr. Kielhorn’s unerrin
judgment would have saved all controversy on the subject.
Mr. Pargiter has published these plates at the request of Dr.
Hoernle from whom he obtained them in October 1908. In the
second paragraph of his article Mr. Pargiter refers to a fourth
plate, which was brought to Dr. Hoernle’s notice by the late
Dr. T. Bloch, then Superintendent of the Archzological Survey,
Eastern Circle. Mr. Pargiter had a photograph of the fourth
plate before him when he edited the three other plates I had
the honour of editing this fourth plate in the Journal of the
Society, and as the publication of the three other plates
throws further light on the history of this period, I am forced
to make some remarks on the conjoint evidence of these four
copperplate grants. The fourth plate belongs to Mr. H. E.
Stapleton, B.A., B.Sc., of the Indian Educational Service.
Further particulars about the provenance of this plate have
already been recorded by the owner in a prefatory note to my
article. The Bengalee gentleman referred to by Dr. Bloch in
his letter to Dr. Hoernle is Prof. Nilmani Chakravartti of the
Presidency College, to whom the plate was submitted for
decipherment. I am rather surprised to learn that these three
copperplates were purchased by Dr. Hoernle on behalf of the
Asiatic Society of Bengal, as there is no record in the Society
to show that they belong toit. So also inthe case of the Grant
of Vidyadhara Bhafija, Dr. Kielhorn’s statement about the
ownership of these plates was a revelation to us.

The following conclusions are derived from a comparative
study of these four copperplate grants :—

(1) From an examination of the characters of these
inscriptions it appears that they were written in mixed alpha-

bets. While editing Mr. Stapleton’s plate, I have tried to
discuss the peculiarities of the characters to their fullest extent,
but the publication of Mr. Pargiter’s article necessitates a
recapitulation of the whole argument. It appears to me, that
on the basis of Palaeography, these four copperplates may
safely be announced to be forgeries. The date of the forging
of these grants cannot be exactly determined, but it is certain
that they are not modern forgeries, but on the other hand, at
least as ancient as the 11th or 12th century A.D.

(2) These copperplates show a novel method of granting
land and conveying the same. In the grants published by
Mr. Pargiter, this method, though different from those
employed in all other grants, differs slightly at the same time
from that employed in the fourth or Mr. Stapleton’s grant.

(3) The seals on the three copperplate grants are at least a
couple of centuries older than the characters employed in the
inscriptions. The seals, it should be mentioned, are not of the
princes mentioned therein, but belong to certain District
officials. In this case too we find a remarkable eee ae hg

First of all, I shall take the inscriptions edited by Mr.

In a previous paper I have already noticed that the early
Gupta forms were gradually dying out of i Eastern alphabet
about the middle of the 5th century A.D., so itis not likely
that they should occur with such Foie in 7th or Sth
century inscriptions.’
his discrepancy is still more remarkable, as the scribe
has used the different forms in writing the same word; for
example, compare the word Himasena in line 23 and line
5 and the word Anugraha in lines 18 and 19. It should be
noticed in this connection that the form of Ha of tlhe Eastern
variety to be found in this inscription is somewhat different
from that to be found in the three inscriptions cited above. In
fact, it is difficult to make out whether the letter is a Ra of the

form, which is to be found in the Eastern variety of the early
Gupta alphabet, has been used, but in the majority of cases
the form of the Western variety is to be found. Thus we find
the earlier form in six cases :-—

We also find two forms of the superscript form of long I.
We have two cases of the older forms:—Sri Dharmmaditya

cases of the 6th century form :—Upakriya in line 8 and Sima
in line 23. We have also two forms of Jha in this inscription.
One is the earlier form resembling the Greek letter 6 which
is to be found in the word Apratiratha and the word Abhyar-
thana in line 9, and the acute-angled 6th century form of the
letter to be found in T'atha@ in line 11 and line 14.

The lingual sa throughout is of the looped form, which is
one of the characteristics of the Eastern variety of the early
Gupta alphabet. The form of Ma is peculiar; it has the form
which is to be found in the Bharadi Dih Inscription of
Kumaragupta I.!

(2) The Grant of Dharmmiaditya, no date.

The collotype plate published by Mr. Pargiter is very
indistinct and its paleographical peculiarities cannot be
determined with certainty. So far as I have been able to

ties in the case of La. In one case the Eastern form of the
early Gupta alphabet occurs, e.g., Mandala in line 4, but in all
other cases the 6th century form with the usual acute angle
has been used. There are altogether seven clear instances of
its use, and what is still more remarkable in one case where
the letter has been used as 4 superscript the Nagari form has
been used, e.g., Slokani in line 24. In this case the form used
is clearly the Nagart form, or more accurately, the Eastern
variety form of the 9th century A.D. The East is very
conservative, and even so late as the time of Devapaladeva of
Bengal the form used resembles the Gupta form rather than
the Nagart. In the Ghosrawa Inscription of Devapiladeva the
form used is that of the early Gupta alphabet without any
acute angles.” The earliest certain date of the use of this
form of La in the East seems to be the Dighwa-Dubauli Plate

The facsimile of the third plate also has not been well repro-
duced. I believe if the second and third plates had been repro-
duced by photogravure or photo-etching the result would have
been far better. Experience has gradually shown that the
reproduction of shallow inscriptions from inked impressions is
a mistake. The plates published with my article on Mr.

the obverse of this grant has also been used in the following
examination. On the obverse the 6th century form of Ha
has been generally used, but on the reverse the Eastern
variety of the Gupta alphabet is to be seen in all cases. On the
obverse only one specimen of this letter is distinct: Maha-
pratthara in line 3, while on the reverse we have four instances
of the use of the early Gupta form :—
Hastastaka in line 19. Hareta in line 24.

In the majority of cases the form of La used is that of the
6th century variety. In two cases only the older form has
been used: Vatsapala in line 5 and Lingani in line 21, but

noticeable. We have in all nine clear cases of the use of the
6th century forms :—

There is an important departure in this plate compared with
the preceding two. This is the use of the bipartite form of Ya
side by side with the usual 6th century open-hooked tripartite
form. Dr. Hoernle has made exhaustive enquiries into the
limit of the tripartite form of Ya, but as Dr. Kielhorn has
shown in several places, the exact limit cannot be fixed with
certainty, but the anomaly of the use of the bipartite with
the tripartite is evident even to the uninitiated. We have four
clear cases of the use of each in this grant :—

The form of lingual Sa used in this plate is the usual one
of the Eastern variety of the early Gupta alphabet, but the
loop is more pronounced in this plate than in the preceding
couple. The form of Ma also is not the same as in the preced-
ing ones. It is spice the usual form of the 6th century

(4) The Grant Samacaradeva: the year 14.

I have already exhaustively treated the peculiarities of the
characters of this plate in my previous article. What remains
for me is to compare the characters of this grant with those
of the other three dealt with above. The perusal of Mr.
Pargiter’s able article on the three grants from Faridpur has

obliged me to modify portions of my reading of Mr. Stapleton’s
aie: consequently some new statements on the paleography
_ of this grant will be necessary. It is already evident from the
above ry page ees that the test letters of this period are
Ha and La. The test letters of the earlier period—the palatal,
lingual and dental sibilants—are no longer of much value; in fact
the palatal Sa remains practically unchanged in form from the
lst century A.D. to the 8th. In the Eastern variety of the
characters of the 4th and 5th centuries A.D. the form of the
lingual Sais indeed a test to prove the Eastern or Western
origin of the alphabet; but it is on the two letters mentioned,

of the nature and characteristics of the alphabet. Similarly
we have another test letter in Ya, which at this time ae,

with the transformation of this letter when used as a sub-
script.!. Dr. Hoernle’s labours on the later transformation
of this letter hardly cen any room for further work with the
ata at present in hand. The presence of the acute angle is
also another important feature in the Sete iniation of the
characteristics of the alphabet. On this point Dr Bihler

a
ie “ About the beginning of the 6th sige d we find in the
Northern Inscriptions both of Eastern and Western India
(Plate IV, ie X-XIT) sae Dianne of a new develop-
ment which first leads to the forms of the Gaya Inscription
of A.D 588-89 fake IV, Cols. XV, XVI). Thei i

characteristic is that the letters slope from the right to the
left, and show acute angles at the lower or at the right ends,
as well as that the tops of the vertical or slanting lines invari-
ably bear small wedges, and their ends either show the same
ornaments or protuberances on the right. These peculiarities
are observable in a large number of inscriptions of the next

alphabet.’’* So the presence of the acute angle though a
determining factor is at the same time not a very clear indica-
tive of the age of an inscription: but in the earlier period of
the acute-angled alphabet, 7.e., when the transformation of
right-angled letters into acute-angled ones take place, the
acute angle has justly been regarded as a determinant of the
date of an REO In the following centuries the acute
angle ceases to be of any value in the determination of the
date of an inscription. In the Eastern variety of the Northern
ar ee the latest use of the right-angled characters seem to be
n the MundeSvari Inscription of Udayasena.*

The acute angle is more or less present in the speraces
of the first grant: thus we have it very distinctly in sa,
Ya, Gha, Dha, Ha (of the 6th century form) and Ma. It is
conspicuous by its absence in the case of certain letters such

a, Pa, and Va. In the second grant we

acute angle is present in Sa, Pa, Ya, Dha and Ma. It is

the acute angle is a in oo letters and absent. in
others. This alone would point out the date of these inscrip-
tions and place them i in un last ‘half of the 6th peeeesy. or first

half of the 7th. The next point is the form of the letter Ya
when it occurs alone, as the subscript form does not vary in
inscriptions of this period. We find that the first two grants
invariably use the tripartite form of Ya: it is only in the third
grant that we find both forms of Ya used together. In the
fourth grant, on the other hand, the bipartite form of Ya has
been used throughout the inscription. Finally we come to the
test letters Ha and La. I have already shown in the examina-
tion of the characters of the different plates the several
different instances of the use of the different forms of these
two letters. Thus we find in the first grant in eight cases the
Eastern variety of early Gupta form has been used, while in
the remaining eight cases the early 6th century form is to
be found. In the case of Za, we find the earlier form in six
cases and the later form in 17 cases. But in inscriptions in
which the presence of the acute angle is general one hardly
expects to find such early forms of a character used side by
side with the later forms. Unfortunately in the case of the
second plate the facsimile does not allow us to be definite in
our statements, but as much of it as is legible shows the same
mixture of earlier and later forms. The reproduction of the
third plate is sonewhat better, though the obverse is more or
less blurred by corrosion, Here also we find the same mixture
of early and later forms of Ha and La; but in this plate the
earlier form of La approaches more to the 6th century form
than in the two preceding plates. In the case of the fourth
plate I have all the advantages of having the original before
me just now. Here also we find the same mixture of the
different varieties of Ha and La. I do not want to recapitu-
late the details of my former examination, but it is gratifying
to see that I was correct in my estimate of the characters of
this plate. The correctness of my result is supported by the
foregoing examination of the characters of the three other
plates. The paleographical evidence of the four plates taken
jointly prove that the grants are spurious. The alphabet in
which they are written has been compiled from that of three
different centuries, viz. 4th, 5th and 6th centuries A.D. I shall
have to refer to the numerals used in these plates in a later
of my essay, and the determination of the date of these
grants is a matter of considerable difficulty and ought to be
treated separately.

he foregoing paleographical examination will be incom-
plete if the characters of these four plates are not compared
with those found in some records which have been incised in
characters of a similar nature. The most important inscrip-
tion in Nepal for this period is the Changunarayan Pillar
Inscription of Minateva. I mean that this is important
for the palzography of the four plates which form the subject
of this paper. This inscription was brought to public notice by

the year 386 of a certain era, which has not been specified in it.
Scholars differ very widely about the era in which this inscrip-

Fleet in his Classic Work on ‘Gupta Inscriptions’ * referred
the date to the Gupta era. This also is hardly possible, as in
that case the date of the inscription wou e equivalent to

the subject in his admirable work on Nepal, has proved defi-
nitely from accurate astronomical calculations that the year
386 is equivalent to 496-97 A.D. M. Lévi’s calculation js

variety of the early Gupta alphabet (i.e. the Northern alpha-

characteristics, which, according to Bihler, characterize this
variety. Thus we have the looped form of the l lingual Sa and

Sa a a.’ So the characters of the inscription belong to the

4th ma 5 centuries A.D., and it can never be accurately re-
ferred to the 8th century. This, I believe, is a strong support
of M. Lévi’s astronomical calculation. The second inscription
in early Gupta characters edited by M. Lévi is the Harigaon
Pillar Inscription. Unfortunately this Se is not dated,
but here also we find that in all cases Ha, La and Sa have

characters of this inscription. The facsimile is so very
indistinct that I must admit my examination is not definite.

understand why M. Lévi refers this inscription definitely to the
6th century A.D.' On the other hand, I beg to differ from his
conclusion. The inscription certainly belongs to the 5th cen-
tury A.D. and cannot be referred to any later date. In this
connection, I may be allowed to state that M. Lévi’s theory
about an era of the Licchavis, the initial year of which falls in
110 A.D., does not in any way interfere with my statements
about the peculiarities of the epigraphic alphabet of the
6th century A.D.* Thus if the date of Bendall’s Golmad-

years only. I believe M. Lévi is quite right in reading the
numeral for 500 and referring the date to the era of the Liccha-
vis. Thus we find that in the 6th and the 7th century the Ha,
La and Sa have the usual form of the characters: cf. the steles
of Harigaion dated Harsa samvat 30 and 32, i.e. 636 and
638 A.D. The older inscriptions dated in the Harsa era have
been already mentioned by me in a previous paper quoted
above and they fully bear out the conclusions arrived at.

We find a novel method of granting land to a Brahmana
in these four copperplate grants. The usual method, which is
to be found in the majority of the copperplate grants in
Northern India, is that a King grants the land to a Brahmana

plates of copper in order to ensure its permanency.

land to a private person by officials and elders and the granting
of the same by a private person to a Brahmana. This remark
applies with equal force to the first three plates; the uncer-
tainty of the meaning of the fourth inscription making its case
doubtful. In the long list of Northern Indian Copper Plate
Inscriptions we do not find a single instance of the sale of land
to private persons either by or through state officials or of a
grant of land made to a Brahmana by a private person;
neither do we find an instance of a grant of land being made
by officials with the consent of the leading men of a dis-
trict.

(III) Tue Seats oF THE Copper PLaTEs,

Only the first three copperplates have a seal attached to
each of them. The fourth plate, asI have already remarked,
has lost its seal, though traces of its attachment are still clear.
Mr. Pargiter’s plate was sealed with the same seal, It is cir-
cular in shape and is divided into two unequal portions by two
parallel horizontal lines. The upper part—which is the larger
—bears the emblems and the lower one the legend. ouble
scroll-ornament is attached to each side of these seals. The
seal of the second plate has lost portions of this ornament.
On the seals of the first two plates the emblem consists of a
standing female atic in the middle with a tree on each side;

en
standing female figure occurs in the upper part.

land to Brahmanas, but on the other hand, they are seals
of the officer in charge of the Varaka mandala. This fact also
is exceptional in character, as no other Northern Indian copper-
plate bears the seal of an official. The only exception to this
is the Tippera copperplate referred to by Dr. Bloch.! This
copperplate was sent to the Asiatic Society of Bengal or the
ndian Museum, This plate is written in characters of the 9th
or 10th century A.D., but the seal attached to it is several
centuries older, as it is written in the alphabet of the early
Gupta Kings. The legend runs as follows:
Kumaramatyadhikaranasya.

This shows that several centuries after the downfall of the

early Gupta empire, descendants of their officials in different

centuries after the period of the early Gupta Kings.’’ Thus:
we see that the seal belonged to an official of the Gupta
empire and most probably retained in the possession of his
descendants. It was used to forge these three grants in order
to establish a claim to certain lands, evidently during a period
of confusion and anarchy. Such periods were unfortunately
only too frequent in the history of Eastern India during the
century between the fall of the empire of Harsavardhana and
the rise of the Palas in Bengal.

nection that the word Sadhanika is not a new word as Mr.
Pargiter is apt to think.' It occurs in the majority of copper-
plate grants in several forms, such as, Dausadhanika, usad-
hasadhanika, etc. Its meaning is snot yet certain. In the
copperplate grants this name is to be found along with those
~ other officers like Uparika, Antaranga. One of the new
es of officials Kulavara, which occurs in the third and
fetdth grants, cannot be definitely translated as ‘‘ referees ’’ or
‘*arbitrators.’’ I read this word as Kulacaradn in the fourth
grant, but of course must admit that I was wrong. About
proper names: Brhac-catta would not bear comparison with
modern Cattopadhyaya. In this connection I may note that
the Co RS of the word Cata seems to be definitely settled at
last. Rai Bahadur Hiralal and Dr. J. P. Vogel are agreed on
this point. In his article on the Sarangarh Plates of “Mahasu-
deva Mr. Hiralal quotes some remarks of Dr. Vogel which are
_ worth reproducing :—‘‘On my first visit to the ancient hill
state of Chamba (Panjab) I learnt that the head of a pargana
there has the title of Char, which is evidently derived from the
Sanskrit Chata, The Char collects villagers who have to do
work (forced labour) on behalf of the State; he arranges for
load carriers and supplies in case the Raja or some traveller
visits his district. I have little doubt that the Chata of the
copperplates is the same as the Char of the Chamba State.
In the Chamba Copperplates published in the Annual Report
of the Archeological Survey (1902-03) I have therefore ren-
dered the word by “‘ district officer.’’ It was clearly a .
lege of importance that the head of the district was not
allowed to interfere with the granted land; in other words, he
was not allowed to collect labourers or to demand supplies etc.
on behalf of the State.’’—#pi. Ind., Vol. [X, p. 284, Note 10.
rug Somaghosa (second grant, line 8), Vihitaghosa (4th
grant, line 7), etc., cannot be taken as the progenitors of the
modern Ghosas of Bengal, and Nayasena is not a Kayastha of
the Sena family. As Candragupta the Maurya cannot be taken
to be the progenitor of the Guptas of the Vaidya caste, and
Rsabhadatta (Usabhadatta) the Scythian to be the progenitor
of the Dattas of the Kayastha caste, so Somaghosa and Naya-
sena cannot be said to be the forefathers of the Ghosas and
Senas of Bengal. If we agree to do so, we shall have to
admit that the Brahmana pee ectiee was the forefather of the
Vatdya and Kayastha Dattas ngal!
Finally I must note that the cata of the three grants
edited by Mr. Pargiter is not so vague as that of the fourth
rant. A comparison with the three other plates has enabled
me to a eo the reading of Mr. Stapleton’s grant in many
ints :

1 Ind. ke. vol. ani, p- 194.

304 Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bengal. [June, 1911.

1) Mr. Pargiter has already noticed the superfluous
uses of the word Ka in these four inscriptions. The presence
of the seals together with the comparison of the three grants
enabled him to read the name Varaka with certainty. h
absence of the seal I thought that the name was Kavaraka.
This is natural, as the previous word is usually written Anumo-
dita and not Anumoditaka. Similarly in the absence of the
seal in the other plates I believe no one could have read the
name as Kavaraka in the first grant. Inthe fourth grant we
have to read Jivadattas-tadanumoditaka Varakamandale.

(2) In the 11th line we have to read T'adarhatha instead of
Tadarham yatha. This word occurs in the three grants edited
by Mr. Pargiter.

(3) In the 12th line we have to read Yata etadabhyar-
thanamupalabhya instead of Yatadhanadabhyarth palabhy
The very phrase is to be found in the first grant (line 9) and
the third grant (line 15).

(4) Ihave already stated that the word read by me as
Kulacaran is to be read Kulavaran.

(5) In the 16th line the reading is to be corrected into
Krtya ksettra kulyavapattrayam. — -

(6) In the 22nd line the first word is written Sadatam in-
stead of Sadattam.

(7) The reading of the date is to be corrected to 14 instead
of 34, Dr. Bloch read the date as 14, but at that time I did
not agree with him. I was of opinion that the forger of the

several times in the next paragraph. It should be noted that
the form of dental na in the word Supratikasvaminah is the
8th or 9th century form and not the earlier form, I had omit-
ted this inadvertently in my first article.

(V) THe Dare or tHe Grants.

Only three of these four plates are dated, and in these the
date is always expressed in numerals. The clue to the proper
assignation of the dates of these inscriptions is probably to be
found in the forms of numerals used in them. This part of the

question may be taken in two different instalments. Firstly,
the forms of the numerals used, and secondly, the assignation
of dates. First of all, in two of these dates out of three we
have the numeral for 10. When I edited Mr. Stapleton’s grant
in these pages, I was of opinion that the grant was issued in
the 34th year of Samaciradeva, but as I have already noted
above, the late Dr. Bloch was concurrent in opinion with

Vol. VII, No. 6.] The Evidence of the Faridpur Grants. 305
[V.S.]

Mr. Pargiter and Dr. Hoernle about the interpretation of the
symbol. These three scholars agree in taking this symbol to
stand for 10. I am now convinced that they are correct, but
at the same time it is not possible to assign these three inscrip-
tions tothe 6th century A.D. or any date before that. From the
majority of Northern Indian inscriptions we can prove that the
symbol for 10 from the dawn of Indian history to the 6th cen-
tury A.D. has been the lateral Ma and no other form is tobe
found among cognate inscriptions. The only exception to this
is a solitary inscription found in Nepal. The date of this
inscription is still doubtful, as it is dated in an era the initial
year of which still remains to be definitely caleulated.'! Dr.
Buhler in his masterly work on Indian Palewography has
proved absolutely beyond doubt that the symbol for 10 during
the first six centuries of the Christian era is the lateral Ma
with very slight changes. It is only during the latter part of
the 7th century that changes take place in the sign for this
numeral. The sign which is used in these three dates is to be
found in Nepalese inscriptions of the 8th century A.D and
not before that. In Northern Indian inscriptions of the first
six centuries A.D. the lateral Ma denotes the numeral 10 and
changes come over tae numeral from the 6th to the 8th century
A.D. These transition forms are to be found in the Valabhi
copperplate grants, and they show that the form used in these
inscriptions had gradually been evolved out of the older form ;
so by means of this datum, viz., the date of the inscription from
Nepal in which this form of the symbol is to be found, it can
be safely asserted that this formisa later one. As Dr. Kielhorn
has shown in the case of the tripartite form of Ya,’ it is not safe
to assign a definite limit to a particular form of a character or
numeral on the basis of paleography only, but it is quite safe
to assert that such and such form is earlier or later. Compara-
tive terms are always used with reference to a particular period
and locality. The gradual evolution of this symbol will be ap-
parent from Dr. Buhler’s tables.* The only other noticeable
form in the numerals used in these inscriptions is the symbol
for 9 in the Grant of Gopacandra. It is unlike any of the
well-known forms of that numeral to be found in Indian In-
scriptions. In fact, the decipherment of this symbol is one of
Mr. Pargiter’s greatest successes. It resembles Dr. Buhler’s

. X to some extent. From the very first I was pretty
doubtful about the reading of this symbol. I had the oppor-
tunity of examining the original, as Dr. Hoernle has since
returned the plates to the Asiatic Society of Bengal, and I am
quite convinced of the faultlessness of Dr. Fleet’s ink impres-

sion. The second part of the question is far more difficult than
the first. I believe that the time for the assignation of these
dates has not arrived as yet. Though these three dates form a
regular series, yet it is by no means certain that they belong to
the same period or to a particular era. On the contrary, I
believe that they are separate regnal years and have no connec-

in that charge till the year 19 in the reign of Gopacandra. If
these dates form a continual series the reign of Samacaradeva
must fall between that of Dharmmaditya and Gopacandra.
But we find another governor for Navyavakasika in the year
14, so it is evident that the dates are regnal years. The forger
of these grants I believe had no idea of forming a consecutive
line of Kings. Dr. Hoernle’s identification of the Emperor
Dharmmaditya with Yasodharmman is purely tentative and
has no basis. Similarly his identification of Gopacandra with
Prince Govicandra or Gopicandra of Northern Bengal tradition
is also tentative. There is absolutely no ground for this sug-
gestion save the similarity in names.

(VI) Tue Importance OF THE GRANTS.

Finally the four plates—forged as they are—yield some
valuable material for the construction of the History of Bengal
during the dark period from the death of Harsavardhana to the
rise of the Palas of Bengal. This period has now been short-
ened by the researches of the late Dr. Kielhorn and Mahamaho-
padhaya Haraprasad Sastri. Synchronisms and slight mention
have now enabled us to state definitely that the Pala empire
rose in the middle of the 8th century A.D. and that the date
of its rise must fall before the Gurjara conquest of Kanavj.'
It is now definitely settled that the initial year of Dharmma-
paia’s reign falls between 783 and 817 A.D.; so this dark period
extends from 672 to 783 A.D. or a little over a century. The
Guptas of Magadha survived the transitory glory of the Sthan-
visvara Kings. Of this line we have the definite date 672 A.D.
for Adityasena,’ and the genealogy is carried three generations
further downward by the Deo-Banarak (Deva-Varanarka)
Inscription of Jivitagupta II.2 For this period extending from
672 to 738 A.D. we have no definite data and the material sup-
plied by the four copperplate grants comes in very handy.
The most important fact is the use of genuine seals of the
officials of the Gupta empire. As I have noticed above Dr.
Bloch has already stated that the officials of the Gupta empire

[N.S.]

or their descendants continued to enjoy a certain amount of
territorial independence centuries after the dissolution of the
ancient empire of the Gupta. The seals of these three copper-
plates show that the officer in charge of the Varakamandala
had carved out a small principality for himself and that his
descendants continued to enjoy it for three or four centuries.

hey do not seem to have laid claim to royalty as is usual in

designation as their founder. This is a parallel case with that
of the Native States of India which sprang up after the disso-
lution of the Mu ghal empire and the rulers of which, though
independent Princes in reality, continued under their old rank
and titles in the majority of cases. It is possible to assert on
this data and the evidence of the seal of the Tippera Grant
alluded to by Dr. Bloch that after the dissolution of the an-
cient Gupta empire officers in charge of the provinces gradually
carved out small principalities for themselves and their descen-
dants. We have clearer examples in the case of the Senapatis
of Valabhi and the Parivrajaka Maharajas. In Bengal the
Aphsad Inscription of Adityasena provides us with a long line
of local rulers, who most probably were descendants from the
ancient Gupta Emperors. Besides the Guptas of Magadha, the
stray Kings like Narendragupta, we have no other data for the
History vf Bengal after the fall of Harsavardhana
The of the Faridpur copperplates senna that of the
Tippera one show that the smaller principalities which came
into existence after the dissolution of the ancient Gupta ware
survived the downfall of the Kings of Sthvanisvara. Thus
Bengal only we have two separate dynasties descended teom
the officials of the ancient Gupta empire who continued to rule
till the rise of the Palas. The case is very clear in the case of
the Tippera Grant, but in the case of the Faridpur Grants it is
different. In the Faridpur Grants we find that a genuine seal
of an official of the ancient Gupta empire has been used to seal
@ land-grant instead of that of the Prince during whose reign
the grant was made, or that of the person who made the
grant. At the same time, it is interesting to note that the
seal belonged to the officer in charge of the district in which
the land granted is situated. In that case it may be safely
asserted that a descendant of the officer in charge of the
Varakamandala of the ancient Gupta empire continued to hold
sovereign rights over the whole or part of that district, other-
wise the forger would not have sealed the grants with his seal.
Most probably Dharmmaditya, Gopacandra and Samacaradeva
were great oe according to the tradition then current in
ngal, and the forger of these plates has referred to them by
name only owing to the absence of other details concerning
them. It is to be noted also that he has used regnal years
instead of definite dates in these plates. It may be that the

308 Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bengal. (June, 1911.]

plates were forged after the rise of the Pala empire, as it is

during the time of the Palas only that regnal years were exten-

dates in a well-known era. Finally I wish to note that the

The inscription opens as follows.

Thus it will be seen that some of the officials are men-
tioned by name in lines 6 and 7, while the titles only of the
rest are enumerated at length. 1 have reasons to suppose that
this plate also is a forgery, and I expect to publish it shortly in
another paper.

25. Elucidation of certain passages in I-tsing,

By Kasar P. Jayaswat, B.A., Davis Chinese
Scholar (Oxon.), Barrister-at-Law.

By bringing to light the work of I-tsing, Japanese aa
have rendered great help towards the stupendous task
restoring Hindu History. I-tsing’s Records afford glim
into the social condition of our country towards the end of the
seventh century (671—695 A.C.). This great monk, no less
famous in the Buddhist world of Chine than Hiuen Thsan
with whom we are more familiar, was pre-eminently a scholar
and the best Sanskritist amongst the Chi
writings have yet reached us. His stay at the centres of
learning in the Hindu colonies of Sumatra, and ten years’ study
at the university of Nalanda under the greatest professors of
the time, gave him an intimate knowledge of the methods of
the teaching of Sanskrit and the complete curriculum in vogue
in those days, and enabled him to describe them in faithful
detail. The unique treatment of the subject — the 35th
chapter of The Records of Buddhist Practices in

The chapter is so full of important materials es the stu-
dent of the Hindu social history, that it is eminently desirable
to have every word in it made perfectly clear. To get at the
correct meaning of Chinese texts is sometimes inconceivably
difficult. Dr. Takakusu, the learned translator of I-tsing’s
Records, had to encounter this difficulty in the course of his
English rendering. Like a true ‘scholar, he has scrupulously
indicated the obscure baa ed by foot-notes attached to the

my attention on account of the importance of the subject-
matter.

On page 178 there occurs the passage :—
‘«They (the Scholastics who had defeated their oppo-
nents) ! receive grants of land, and are advanced to a

high rank [their famous names are, as a reward, written
in white on their lofty gates].’’

aq “The preceding passage runs as follow

‘‘When they are refuting heretic “doctrines all their opponents
become tongue-tied and rege ledge themselves undone. Then the
sound of their fame makes the five iaaclatns (of India) vibrate, and
their renown flows, as it were; over the four borders’’ (bor e
fem: ? ).

The passage which I have marked with brackets is a
rendering of the original :—

would mean ‘ access, *? nor mén has been anywhere found to
signify ‘‘ Court
Dr. Takakusu takes mén in its literal sense; iS
‘lofty gates.’ But, then, he has to detach the first character
a shang from the sentence and translate it by the adverbial
phrase ‘* as reward,’’ while area? it is a verb meaning
‘to give,’ ‘to fre ’ *to bestow.’ To make sense, he sup-
plies a complete sentence, viz. ‘‘ their famous names are writ-
ien.’’ The second character Ea su, in its common meaning,
‘ simple,’ ‘ white,’ adds to the confusion ; and an unintelligible
ing, ae their famous names written in white on their lofty
gates’’ is the result. To write in white, and that on what
gates? On the gates of the house of the scholastic, or of the
king, or on the gates of some temple, or of the city-walls ?
If by FA mén really some gates were meant, they would have
been specified. Again, as far as we know, there was no such
practice as to inscribe names of scholars on any gates. Dr.
Takakusu, however, avows that the text is not clear to him and
that his rendering i is only tentative.
If we take FA mén in the classical sense to mean ‘school,’
‘system,’ we would not be, perhaps, far from what I-tsing

and from different ‘ gate-men’ their different MN mén’s, ‘ sys-

The second character EZ su, interchanges with 2% so,

‘to search,’ ‘to study,’ inthe Classics. Chu, the celebrated
commentator, writing on the Chapter xi, i, THE DOCTRINE OF
THE MEAN, takes the character EA su to read and mean as “
so (according to Legge, Asi, but according to Giles, so'),

study’ (vide Legge, Classics, 1897, Vol. I, p. 391, ”. 11). It
is easy to see that the two words being alike in origin, form
and sound, as in several well-known similar cases, interchanged
with each other. The character, both in Ltsing’ s text and
the classical passage referred to above, yields a perfectly
sensible = Seto only when we adopt its reading as given by
Chu, who, it must be remembered, is not a mean authority.

Just a few lines above (p. 177), speaking in respect of the
candidates for the Civil Service who presented themselves in
the House of Debate to prove their ‘ wonderful cleverness,’

I-tsing uses the expression Gu si chung hsi, which has

been translated by Dr. Takakusu as ‘‘ they raise their seats,’’
and which, according to I-tsing’s commentator Kasyapa, refers
to ‘the Indian custom’ of taking the seat of the vanquishe

opponent and adding it to that of the victorious disputant.
Whatever be the value of Kaéyapa’s information, chung hs

ean not mean ‘ doubling seats.’ sia hst is the Sanskrit trena-

‘raising,’ and the passage following, viz. “and seek to prove
their wonderful cleverness,’’ indicates that they had not yet
defeated their opponents but were going to do so; therefore,
even accepting Kasyapa’s authority as to the existence of the
alleged custom, chung hsi could not be intended to mean °° they
raised their seats.’’

By adhering to the literal meaning of the characters, we
arrive at a very sensible rendering :—

‘* they, in a grave demeanour, sat on the asanas.”’

If hsi be not treated as a verb, as it has been in the above
translation, chung will have to be taken as a verb and the
phrase to mean ‘‘ they regarded the asanasas being important,’’ ®
but the context would give preference to the former transla-
tion, as when they were going ‘to prove their wonderful
cleverness,’ they would naturally ‘ sit dignified ’ ; and I-tsing,
an ultra-mannerist, would characteristically notice the impres-
sive demeanour. '

26. Phosphorus in Indian Food Stuffs.
By Davip Hoopsrr, F.C.S.

One of the most important discoveries of recent times is
the relation that has been traced between the use of milled
rice and the disease known as epidemic dropsy or beri-beri.
The investigations of Drs. Stanton, Fraser, Highet and Brad-
don have shown that the lack of phosphorus in cleaned or
milled rice is the predisposing cause of the disease. By ex-
perimenting on fowls with rice of varying quality it was
sanusnateaial that polyneuritis (similar to the epidemic dropsy
of man) was developed when milled rice was used, but not
when rice simply husked was given. By chemical analysis

experiments that rice containing 0469 per cent. of phosphorus,

the publication of this theory in 1909 further researches have
been madein the East, and they have tended to confirm the im-
portance of phosphorus as an essential constituent in dietetic
preparations.

In 1910, Major E. D. W. Greig, I.M.S., was placed on
special duty to investigate the outbreak of beri-beri in Bengal,
and I was appointed to assist him by analysing the samples of
rice and food grains collected during the enquiry. Major
Greig’s preliminary report has been issued as No. 45 (New
Series) of the Scientific Memoirs by Officers of the Medical and
Sanitary Departments of the Steinloce of India, and is en-
titled ‘‘ Epidemic Dropsy in Calcutta.’’ It is on the present
occasion considered desirable to deal with the shea aspect
of the subject in a separate paper, by quoting the analyses of
a large number of rice samples from different parts of the
country, and showing the amount of — in other food
substances commonly consum

Rice being the staple food of m ns ‘eastern countries it is
important that its constituents should be fully studied. In

the Agricultural Ledger No. 5 of 1908-09, Bayes are given
of one hundred and sixty samples from various localities in
India, and the proportion of protein, fat, carbohydrates, fibre
and ash are recorded. All the samples of rice were husked

or milled, and a difference was noted between those samples
that had been simply husked and those that had been polished
after the husking. The variation in either series was attributed
to high or low cultivation. Another paper on the ‘‘ Composition
of the Rice Plant,’’ by W. P. Kelley and A. R. Thompson,
has been published as a Bulletin (No. 21) of the Hawaii Agri-
cultural Station

When paddy is converted into rice for the market, the
chaffy husk is removed by wetting, drying and beating, and
the grain that is left is enveloped in a natural layer rich in oil,
proteinand ash. The rice grain is further prepared or polished
by subjecting it once or twice to a milling process which re-
moves the outer layer of nutritious elements and leaves a
smooth, white, starchy grain of elegant appearance. The re-
moval of protein, oil aR oe pera the phosphatic ash, reduces
the food value of the rice, and renders the — liable, when
used as the sole diet, to pa ome epidemic drop

e following tables represent the phosphoric value, calcu-

lated as phosphoric anhydride, of rices from various provinces.
The determinations were made according to the molybdic acid
method adopted in Agricultural labcratories.

The analyses of husked rice grains before passing through
a mill were made on selected oars some These are typical of
of what are known as unpolished rices :

In these samples those which are regarded as superior on
account of the fineness and milk-white appearance, and which
realize a higher market value, are as a rule comparatively defi-
cient in phosphorus. In Madras a large quantity of rice is
imported from Rangoon. It is a coarser rice than the local
varieties, and although it is fairly rich in phosphorus there is @
prejudice against its use, and it is consumed chiefly by coolies

emigrants. The rice in which the lowest amount of phos-
phorus was detected was a sample from Bangalore. It was

that the amount of phosphorus is almost uniformly in inverse
ratio to the price of the samples.

It has been shown in the above analyses that unmilled rice
contains on an average of 0°65 per cent. of phosphoric anhy-
dride, while milled rice contains about °38 per cent. The pro-

called ‘‘Koorah’’ in Bengal, ‘‘Thavudu’’ in Madras, and
‘‘Dadak”’ in Java. It is used for feeding fowls and cattle,
as bait for fish, and is largely exported to the continent on
account of the oil it contains. The analysis of a sample from a

investigations, but Sozuki, Yoshimura and Takaishi have
proved (Bull. Coll. Agric. Tokyo, 1907, 495—572) that 85 per
cent. of the phosphorus in the bran of rice is present as phytin.
Phytin has been described by Posternak (Compt. rend., 1903,
136, 1678—80) as a phospho-organic acid, CH,O,P, which
differs from phosphoric acid by the elements of formaldehyde.
Lecithin, another organic compound found in seeds by Tépler,
Schulze and others, occurs in smaller amount, representing only
1 to 7 per cent. of the total phosphorus. Phytin or anhydroxy-
methylene-diphosphoric acid is obtained by treating the pow-
dered substance with 0-2 or 0°3 per cent. hydrochloric acid,
pressing out the liquor, neutralizing with magnesia, and puri-

ng by reprecipitation the calcio-magnesium derivative.
Another method is to precipitate the acid solution by means of
alcohol. Fraser. and Stanton (Lancet, Dec. 17, 1910, 1755)
have recently shown that the addition of rice polishings to a
diet of white rice is an effective preventive of the development
of polyneuritis in fowls. Working in the light of what is known
on phytin, they further prove that the substances contained
in the polishing which are effective in preventing the disease
are not precipitated from the hydrochloric acid solution on the
addition of the alcohol, but are retained in the filtrate from
the phytin. The essential portion comprises 16 per cent. or
less by weight of rice polishings, or 1:6 per cent. of the original

shed grain.

stances are necessary for the formation of gluten. By extracting

ine samples of bazaar attas, collected from various houses
in Calcutta during Major Greig’s enquiry, afforded an average
of 0°68 per cent. of ash and 0°25 per cent. of phosphoric anhy-
dride, alias that they were of the usual composition and
not adulterated.

320 Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bengal. (June, 1911.

At the Seventh International Congress of Applied Chemistry,
(London, 1909), F. Vuaflart read a paper on the composition
of wheat, in which he showed that the phosphoric anhydride
varied from 0°759 to 0°988 per cent., in entire wheat, and from
0°197 to 0°283 in the flour. Sixty-six parts are contained in the
starch, 13-8 in purified gluten, 2°4 parts in the ether-alcohol
extract of the gluten, and 17°8 parts in the wash waters. From
these figures the average composition of wheat flour in Europe
is similar to that of wheat flour in India

Barley.—Three samples of barley (Hordeum vulgare) show

Pulse.—The pulses constitute a class of food-stufis which
are rich in phosphoric acid. Pigeon pea (Cajanus indicus), &
pulse fed to pigeons, is a healthy diet, and no cases of neuritis
have been known to occur when this is habitually given. The
Marwaris are in the habit of employing various pulses as mung,
besan and dal, and they are generally free from epidemic dropsy
when their neighbours, the rice eaters, are attacked. The
combination of dal with rice is a convenient means of increasing
the phosphates in the diet, and corrects the deficiency usually
found in the polished grain. The following analyses of pulses

are recorded.

With regard to the amount of phosphorus in foods in
general, two papers have appeared in foreign scientific journals.
‘* The cata ee of phosphorus in Foods’’ by M. Balland
(Compt. rend., , 143, 969—970), and ‘* The ‘Quantity and
Distribution of {eae in some food stuffs ’’ by W. Heubner
and W. Reeb (Arch. Exp.-Pathol. u. Pharmak., 1908, 265—272).
The papers deal with a wide range of articles of European
consumption, and the results show that phosphorus is found to
be associated with nitrogen in constituting a nutritious or poor
food-stuff. In all future analyses of dietetic articles it will be
desirable to estimate the amount of phosphoric anhydride.

The phosphorus value of Indian food-stufis, as far as I am
aware, has not been recorded in any scientific work, and in
order to complete this paper several determinations are tabu-
lated for reference. They are classified under animal foods,
farinaceous foods, vegetables, nuts and fruits, and ——
articles of diet consumed both by Europeans and Indian

PREFACE.

The subject of this paper has been a fruitful source of con-
troversy among jurists in all ages in all countries under Muslim
Law. Elsewhere! I have traced in detail the history of this
controversy in the various countries of Islam. Here I shall
content myself with merely indicating the conflicting decisions
on the point to be found in the Indian Law Reports: Khajah
Hossein Ali v. Shahzadi Hazrah Begum (1869), 12 W.R., 344;
Fatima Bibi v. Ariff Ismailji Bham (1881), 9 C.L.R., 66; Kaleloola
v. Naseerudeen (1894), 18 Mad. 201; Abu Sayid Khan v. Bakar

reported (Rangoon, 1903); Mofazzul Karim v. Mohammed
(1905), 2 C.L.J., 166; Kulsom Bibi v. Golam Hossein Cassim
Ariff (1905), 10 C.W.N., 449; Banubi v. Narsingrao (1906),

Mahmood, unreported (334 of 1907) decision of the Cal. H. C. ;
Kadir Ibrahim Rowther v. Mahomed Rahamadulla Rowther (1909),
33 Mad., 118.

For the purpose of this paper I do not claim to have laid
under contribution all the works extant on Muslim Law. Be-
sides those works from which I have made the excerpts, there
are others which support my view, e.g. the Fatawd Anqarawiy-
yah, p. 704, ed. Cairo, Minhaj al-Talibin, Fath al-Qarib, etc.

324 Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bengal. [June 1911.

A careful perusal of this paper—the result of considerable
labour and research—containing excerpts from works of the
highest authority, will, I venture to hope, leave no doubt in
the minds of the readers about the validity of the wagf of
moveables, including money, shares in companies, securities,
stock, etc. In order to follow the historical development of
this branch of Muslim Law, the reader would do well to peruse
the extracts in the order indicated in the Bibliography in
Appendix I. The relevancy of some of the extracts (appar-
ently irrelevant to the matter in issue) will, no doubt, be
obvious to the practical lawyer, if not to the lay reader.

I have kept the English translation as close to the original
as possible, even at some sacrifice of the English. Passages
in the translation placed within crotchets do not occur in the
Arabic original, and are inserted merely for explanatory rea-
sons. Similarly, passages in the or ginal enclosed within crot-
chets have been omitted in the translation, to avoid repetition
or the introduction of irrelevant matter. The system of trans-
literation adopted by me is, with slight modifications, that
recommended by the Fourth Congress of Orientalists.

I take this opportunity of expressing my sincere thanks
to Muhammad ‘Ali Chevky Bey, and to Zaimzadé Hasan
Fehmy Bey, grandson and First Secretary respectively to Field-
Marshal Ghazi Ahmad Mukhtar Pasha, late Ottoman High
Commissioner in Egypt, for obtaining access for me to several
important Libraries in the Ottoman Empire, and also for pro-
curing for me the Fatw&s of the Grand Mufti of Egypt, and of
the Mufti of Alexandria ; to Shams al-Ulama Shaykh Mahmud
Gilani for the Fatw4 from his brother, the celebrated Mujta-
hid of Karbala; to Lt.-Col. Phillott for affording me every
facility for research and placing at my disposal the Library
of the Board of Examiners which is rich in the possession
of some unique manuscripts on Muslim Law; and lastly,
to my friend and colleague Mr. R. F. Azoo, for assistance in
the elucidation of several obscure and difficult passages in the
original.

In a subsequent issue of the Journal of this Society I hope
to give a translation of the well-known treatise on the subject
of this paper by the celebrated Shaykh al-Islam, Mufti Abu’l-
Su‘tid, @ manuscript copy of which I have just discovered
in Constantinople. I am indebted to the Hon. Mr. G. H. C.

RULES FOR THE GUIDANCE OF THE JUDGE.

I. The following extract from the commentary of the
Hidayah by Ibn Shahnah is quoted by the great doctor al-Biri at
the beginning of his commentary on al-Ashbah :—

When the accuracy of a hadith (saying of the Prophet) is
accepted and it is found to be contrary to the doctrine of the
madh-hab (school), practice should be in accordance with the

reports this from the four Imams.

ee ee ‘“The signs of mercy’’: the differ-
ence of opinion of the Imams affords latitude and facility
to the people; as is laid down at the beginning of the

ia. mercy from God (os... FS Said the Prophet of God:

companions have said. For verily my companions are like

II. Itis known that divergence of opinion is one of the signs
of mercy. us, the greater the difference the greater the bless-
sing, as they (the Ulema) have declared. (Durr al-Mukhtar, vol.
i, p. 70. Ed. Const.).

The rule guiding the Mufti in delivering his fatwds is that he
should deliver fatwds positively regarding matters about which

326 Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bengal. [June, 1911.

our jurists are unanimous in the ‘‘ Conspicuous Reports ’’ ;
but opinions differ regarding matters about which they differ. The
most correct view is that stated in the Sirdjiyyah and other
, viz., that the Muftt should give fatwé according to the
dictum of the Imam absolutely, then according to the dictum of
the second, then that of the third, then according to that of
Zufar and Hasan b. Ziyad. In the Hawi-al-Qudsi, the strength of
the argument is regarded as the correct criterion. When there
is conflict between two views declared to be correct.—It is laid
own in the chapter on Wag/ of the Bahr al-Ra’iq and other
books that when there are two ‘‘ correct views ’’ regarding
any particular question, it is lawful to give judgment and
fatwa according to either of them.

In the beginning of the Mudmarat it is stated: The
signs of the fatwd are his (the jurist’s) saying, ‘in accordance there-
with is the fatwd’; ‘ with it is given the fatwa’ ; ‘it we follow’;
‘on it is the reliance ’; ‘in accordance with it is the practice »

or ‘the most likely,’ or ‘the most reasonable,’ or
the select,’ and such like expressions stated in the super-
commentary of al-Bazdawi. End of the quotation. Our
master al-Ramli says in his collection of fatwds: Some expres-
sions are more emphatic than others. Thus the wor

mos

orrect,’’ ‘‘ most likely,’’ etc. The expression ‘‘ with it is

given according to its opposite view, unless ze
in the Hidayah, for instance, ‘‘ it is correct,’’ and in the Kaft
its opposite view has ‘‘ it is correct.’? In such a case he has
the option and he selects what he considers to be the strongest,
and most advantageous. End of the quotation. This
should be remembered. The substance of what Shaykh Qasim

Vol. VII, No. 6.] The Wagqf of Moveables. 327
[N.S.]

gi in ae ‘* Correction ’’ is that there is no difference between

Mufti and a Qadi except that the Mufti gives information as
to the rs oa the Qadi gives effect toit. (Durr al-Mukhtar,
vol. i, pp. 70 to 76).

CoMMENTS OF THE Radd.

III. ‘‘ Conspicuous Reports ..’’ The questions dealt with
by our Hanafi masters are classed into three groups, to which I
have bese, alluded
Questions of juindommenial principles, also called Conspicu-
ous ee —These are the questions reported from the leaders,
founders of the school, Abt Hanifah, Abii Yusuf, Muhammad,
ufar, Hasan b. Ziyad and others, who studied under Abi
Hanifah. But the common view is that Conspicuous Reports’”’
comprise the dicta of the three. The Books of Conspicuous
Reports are the six books of Muhammad, viz.: (1) Mabsut, (2)
Ziyadat, (3) Jami‘-al-saghr, (4) Siyar-al-saghir, (5) ‘Jam
al-Kabir, and (6) Siyar-al-Kabir. They are designated *‘ fe.

on account of common repute.

2. Questions of Rarity—These are questions reported
from the sticce tan ae masters, but not in the above-men-
tioned books. Rather they are contained either (a) in other
works of Muhammad, e.g., Kaysaniyyat, Hariniyyat, Jurjaniyyat,
Raqqiyyat ..... or (b) in books by authors other than Mu-
hammad, e¢.g., Muharrar by Hasan b. Ziyad, etc., or books con-
taining notes dictated by Abi Yisuf to his pupils or (c) reported
by a oe. | isolated report, e.g., the report of Ibn Sim4‘ah,
etc., reg ;; aang certain specified questions.

"3. Occurrences.—These are the questions deduced by later
Mujtahids chen qieMose about cases with regard to which
they could not find any report. They ital Mujtahids) are the

of their companions, and so on, and they are numerous.
Thus amongst the companions of the two Imams are men like
‘TIsam b. Yusuf, Ibn Rustam, . . . . Abi Hafs al-Bukhari. .

Sometimes they have controverted the views of the founders
of the school because of the proofs and causes which came to
abet knowledge. The first collection of their fatwds according

to our information was that by the jurist Abu-’]-Layth of Samar-
qand. After him other collections were made by other masters,
e.g-, Majmiu‘-al-Nawazil, Waqi‘at al-Natife. . Know that
amongst the books of the questions of fundamental principles
is the Kitab al-Kafi, by al-Hakim al-Shahid, which is an authentic
work on the traditional rules of the school, and has been com-
mented on by a number of doctors amongst whom Imam Shams

328 Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bengal. { June, 1911.

al-A’immah al-Sarakhsi may be mentioned. It is known as the
Mabsut of al-Sarakhsi. According to the most learned doctor
al-Tarsiisi, whatever is opposed to the Mabsit of al-Sarakhst
should not be acted upon; no fatwdé should be given except in
accordance with it, and no reliance should be placed except
upon it. The Muntagd, also by him, is also one of the books of
the school . . . Know that there are numerous copies of the
Mabsut reported from Muhammad, the clearest of which is the
Mabsut of Abi Sulayman al-Jawzjini. A number of later jurists
have commented upon the Mabsit, e.g., the Shaykh-al-Islam
Bakr, better known as Khwaherzaidéh, his commentary being
called the Mabsit-al-Kabir; and Shams-al-A‘immah al-Halwa‘i
and others. Their Mabsits are really commentaries interwoven
with the Mabsut of Muhammad, as the commentators of the
Jami‘-al-Saghir have done, e¢.9., Fakhr-al-Islam, Qadi Khan
and others. Thus it is said, ‘‘ Qadi Khan has mentioned it in
the Jami‘-al-Saghir,’’ his commentary being intended thereby.
Similarly in other works. . . . This should be carefully remem-
bered, for it is as important to remember this as the classifica-
tion of the Masters of the School which we shall mention shortly.
In the chapter of the two ‘Ids of the Bahr and Nahr it is stated
that the Jami‘-al-Saghir was written by Muhammad after the
Asl, therefore what it contains is reliable. The Nahr also states
that the dsl was designated Asi, because it was composed first
of all, then the J ami‘-al-Saghir, then the Kabir, then the Ziyadat.
Thus it is laid down in the Ghayat-al-Bayan.

‘* Dictum of the Imam’’: The Mufti gives fatwd in accord-
ance with the dictum of the Imam, because, says ‘ Abd-Allah b.
Mubarak, he had seen the Companions of the Prophet and
had given fatwés contemporaneously with the successors of the
companions, therefore his dictum is more correct and stronger
so long as there is no change of time and age. ;

* the Hawi al-Qudsi, etc.’’ : I say that this is indicated
by the statement of the Sirdjiyyah to the effect that the first
view is more correct when the Mufti is not a Mujtahid. ‘Thus it
is explicit that the Mujtahid (i.e., one fit to examine the
argument, proof) should follow, out of the various dicta, that
which has the strongest proof. Otherwise the order stated
above will be followed. Owing to this you will find that some-

Abu Yusuf in whatever relates to the duties of the judge, 7.
because he had a fuller knowledge of the subject and becaus

cerning a case, then the preferred quis is that in the

down in the Sharh-al- Munyah that when reason is in conformity

the chapter on the obligatory ceremonials of prayers, where the
author gives preference to the report concerning the obliga-

the body in prayer, on account of the arguments adduced, al-

according to the school of Abi Yisuf or Muhammad or any
other companion of the Imam like them, the judgment will not
be contrary to his opinion (Durar), i.c., because the companions
of the Imam never gave expression to an opinion which was not
originally held by the Imam himself. (Radd al-Muhtar, iv,

is not aware of its source, either from the Book, the Sunnah, the
consensus of the people, or manifest analogy with regard to
any particular case.”” (‘Umdat-al-Ri‘ayah, p.\14, Ed. Lucknow).

Al-Shafi‘i said, ‘‘ When a hadith is found to be correct con-
trary to my dictum, throw my dictum over the wall, and act on
the sound hadith.’’ (Ibid., p. 14).

__ In the chapter of the Ashbah on the Duties of a Judge, it is
laid down that the Mufti should base his fatwdé on what he con-
siders to be advantageous. The same view is stated in the
chapter on Dower of al-Bazzaziyyah. . . . . It is laid down also
in the Ashbah that the fatwd regarding a wagf should be based
on what is most favourable to it. The same view is stated in the
Sharh-al-Majma‘ and the Hawi-al-Qudsi. (Ibid., p. 15).

And the correct view is that reported from Muhammad
that itis valid to make wagqf of such moveables with respect to
which recognized practice (Ta‘aruf) has ensued, e.g., copies of
the Qur’an, books, pick-axe, hatchet, saw, cauldron and bier,
on account of the existence of recognized practice (Ta‘aruf)
regarding the wag of these things, whereby analogy (Qiyds) 1s

is in accordance with it. Nasir, for instance, made wagf of his
books. (6) A man makes wagf of a cow for the benefit of a rest-
ing house, so that what may be obtained in the shape of milk
and butter and curd will be given to the wayfarers. Then if
this happens in a place where they have recognized it, the waqf
is valid, as it is valid to make wag of the water of a public
fountain. (7) 3 man makes wagf of an animal for the benefit
of a resting place. ... (8) Aman makes wag/ of a bull for the
benefit of the people of a millage, in order to cover their cows ;
this is not valid, because religious merit is not intended thereby,
and there is _ clear practice in its favour. (9) A man places a

Hilal says this is not lawful. ) And it is reported from
Zufar: a man makes wag of eae or grain or what is

It was said to him, ‘‘ How would it (waq/) ) be (carried out)?’’ He
said that the money should be invested in business and the profits
given in charity for the benefit of the object of the wag/, and what
goes by measure and weight should be sold and their sale sin ai
ceeds invested in commerce (bida‘ah) or business (Mudar )
as in the case of money. They have held on the analogy of the

mul, their wagf is not valid except by way of dependence.
Thus it is laid down in the Mughni and other books, and it is
stated in al-Zahidi that according to Muhammad, wagf of move-
ables is valid even if it be not the subject of recognized practice
(Ta‘amul). But according to Abii Yiisuf the wagf is void if it is
not the subject of Ta‘amul. And the fatwa is in accordance
with it, i.e., the fatwé is given in accordance with the view of
Muhammad which declared such a wagf valid, because of the
necessity of the people.

Qur’ an, books,etc.’’ And our jurists have added moveable articles
to those mentioned by Muhammad and Abi Yusuf, acting on the
principle of 7'a‘amul, as is laid down in the Manh. I, therefore,
say that taking into consideration this opinion and that of al-
Zahidi, already stated above, there is no need of referring to the
report of al-Ansari from Zufar with regard to wagf of dirhams
and dinars as has been supposed, and indeed have been issued
royal orders to the Qadis, to give decrees according to it (the view
validating the wagf of dirhams and dinars) as is laid down in the
Ma‘ridat of the Mufti Abi’l-Su‘id. Similarly the wagf ofarticles
capable of being measured or weighed is valid, they being sold
and their price being applied in business or commerce like dir-
hams. On the analogy of this they have declared the validity
of the wag} of a kurr of wheat on condition that it should be lent
to one who has no seed, etc. ......

If a person makes wagf of a cow on condition that whatever
comes out of it in the shape of milk and butter should go to the
poor, if they are in the habit of doing so, I should expect the wagf
to alid. The Manh has added to the list the wag of
buildings without the site, and likewise that of trees without the
land, because they are moveables with regard to which there is
Ta‘amul.

And according to it, ¢.e., the view of Muhammad, is the fatwa,
in consequence of the existence of Ta‘amul, whereby Qiyds is
abandoned as in the case of a contract with an artisan for sup-
plying articles to be made to order ([stisna‘). The Prophet has
said: ‘*‘ Whatever is good in the sight of the Muslims is good in
the sight of God.”’

XV. THe Masma‘-at-Anuur (Vol. I, p. 746, Hd. Const.).

The waqf of landis valid ......

Similarly is valid according to Muhammad the wagqf of
moveables, the wagf of which has become recognized in practice
(Ta‘aruf), as is valid the waqf of moveables directly when people
have made a T'a‘amul of their waqf, e.g., pickaxes, shovels, hat-
chets, saws, biers with their palls, cauldron, pots, copies of the
Qur’an, books. And according to it, 7.e., the view hammad,
is the fatwd in consequence of the presence of 7'a‘amu4 in these arti-
cles. And this view has been adopted by the majority of the jurists
of all countries : and that is the correct view, as is laid down in
the Is‘af ; and that is the view of the generality of jurists as is laid
down in the Zahiriyyah. Because giyas is sometimes abandoned

amul respecting it. As Ta‘amul became prevalent with regard
to the waqf of dinars and dirhams in the time of Zufar, their
waqf being declared valid according to one report, they came
within the purview of the dictum of Muhammad in accordance
with which is the fatwdé respecting the waqgf of every moveable
concerning which J'a‘amul may arise as is obvious. Con-
sequently there is no need of especially ascribing the view
in favour of the validity of their wagf to the doctrine of Zufaras
reported by al-Ansari; and verily has the author of the Bahr given
atwé in favour of their validity without reporting any difference
of opinion on this point’; this is laid down inthe Manh......

.... And the present practice is to decree in favour of its
validity. Similarly such is also the rule in the case of wagf of
trees, and in the Manh it islaid down: ‘‘ the recognized practice
of our country is to make wag/ of a building without its site. So
also the wagf of trees without the land: thus the fatwd is deter-
mined in favour of its validity because these are moveables in
which there is Ta‘amul.’’ By Ta‘amul is intended the Ta‘amul
of the companions of the Prophet and that of the companions of

of the author of al-Manh, viz., ‘‘ that the practice, etc., because
they are moveables in which there is T'a’amul,’’ is not reliable.
But in the Muhit and other works it is laid down: ‘‘ A man

and this is the view of Muhammad, and according to it is the
fatwd.— Durr from the I khtiyar.

From this we learn that the wagf of dirhams and dinars
belongs to the class of wagf influenced by Ta‘amul, and the same
information we gather from the statement of al-Zayla‘i and al-
‘Ayni. Accordingly 7'a‘amul in all countries is not a condition,
and this shows the inaccuracy of the argument of the Nahr when
it says, ‘‘ The statement of Muhammad, which has just preceded,
necessitates the invalidity of that in Egyptian lands in conse-
quence of the absence of its practice (Ta‘aruf) altogether. Yes,

in the Turkish dominions.’’ Again in the Sharh Multagd’l-
Abhur by al-‘Ala’i' after the _quotation from the text the
following comments occur: ‘‘ And si imilarly is valid the
waqf of moveables whose wagf is recognized in practice accord-
ing to Muhammad, and similarly that which is not recognized
in practice is also valid accor g to Muhammad, as is laid
down in the Sharh al-Wahbaniyyah from al-Zahidi from
the Siyar-al-Kabir, and Shurunbulali has followed it, and al-

of opinion with regard to moveables has been reported differently
and referred to the Styar, viz., that the view of Muhammad is
its validity absolutely, irrespective of there being any practice

following as examples of moveables influence a‘amul :

As to the statement of the author (of the ‘Ina@yah) that
‘‘one of its conditions is perpetuity, and perpetuity is not
resent in moveables,’’ Isay that this statement is open to
criticism; the reason being given in the reply from the argu-
ment of al-Shafi‘i as will be stated later on. The author says ‘‘ it
(the perpetuity) is indispensable as stated before.’’ I say the
logical conclusion is that what is indispensable is the continuance
of the wag/, so long as the subject-matter of the wagf continues,
and this condition is fulfilled in the case in dispute also. There-
fore the matter requires careful consideration.

stated however [as being the opinion of the two disciples] is
that which is generally known as being theirs.
‘< Wagf of Dirhams and Dinars’’: The opinion that

wherein there is T’a‘amul may be made waqf of as will readily
be understood. There is no necessity, therefore, to say that the
validity of wagf of these things rest specially on the authority
of Zufar as reported by al-Ansari, and God knows best. Our
master, the author of the Bahr, has given his decision as to the

tioned in the Manh. Al-Ramli thus comments on this : To place
dirhams and dinars under the category of those moveables which

said, for it is possible to make use of its milk and butter and yet to
preserve its substance. However, if the decision of a judge is
obtained, every difference will be removed. End of the
in an abridged form. I say coins cannot be made determinate
by the simple act of specifying them, therefore although it is not
possible to make use of them and retain the original, yet their
substitute always exists since they cannot be made specific.
They are, therefore, asgood as if they had permanent existence,
and there is no doubt as to their being moveable property.
Since there has already been T'a‘a@mul with respect to them, they
are included among the things which Muhammad had declared
to be lawful to make wagf of. It is for this reason, seeing that
Muhammad had given examples of things with respect to
which Ta‘amul had arisen in his age, the author of the Fath-
. al-Qadir says that some doctors of law have added to those
mentioned by Muhammad other moveables when they saw

the prevalence of Ta‘admul with respect to them in their
time. He (the author of Fath-al-Qadir) mentions the case of
dedicating a cow stated below and that of coins and measurable

also the evident conclusion from what we have already said that

‘amul has arisen in their time. According to this, what is obvious
is to take into consideration the practice in some place where,
or at some time when, the practice came to be recognized an

not otherwise. Thus the waqf of dirhams is practised in Turkish

heard of in our time. Therefore it would appear that it
is not valid now, and that if it should be found rarely
it should not be taken into consideration, since it has been

Valid is the waqf of any property even when taken on hire
and even if it were an animal or a slave, such as a slave dedi- %
cated for the service of the sick, provided no injury is intended 2
to him thereby. As regards food grain and similar things there 3

It is valid to make wagqf of any property in one’s possession
or anything capable of being possessed (mamlik) even if condi-
tionally, as when a man says, ‘‘ If I come into possession of so
and so’s house, it shall be waqf’’; or if the waqf be part of a
joint property provided it is capable of division. The edica-
tor will be compelled to divide if so desired by his co-sharer.

Where no division is possible there are two opinions [t.e.,
that it is valid and that it is not valid], both of which have
been declared to be “‘ preferable.’’ Those who declare it to be
valid, say that the dedicator would be forced to sell if his

according to our school, ‘‘as dedicating a slave for the sick,”’
that is for their services ; provided that the master does not
intend thereby to do injury to his slave, otherwise it shall not be
valid. The same applies also to a slave-girl dedicated for the
service of female patients, in which case it shall not be lawful for
the master to have intercourse with her, because by dedicating
her, her use passes to others; just as in the case of a slave-girl
taken on loan or pledged. ‘‘ As regards’’ the validity of things

then replaced by coins of the same value; but when a waaf of

The gist of the whole matter is this, that as for coins dedicated

if one whole year passes since they come into his possession.

not lasting, therefore its waqf is not valid.

Al-Khujandi holds that the wagf of moveables is not valid
except (a) when subsidiary to something else, as when a
person makes a waqf of land with the bulls and serfs for its
purposes; then they become wagqf along with the land as
accessories ; (b) or when the practice (‘ddah) arises of making

It is the opinion of Muhammad that it is valid to make waqf
of such moveables with respect to which there is Ta‘amul such
as a pickaxe, a spade, a shovel, a saw, a bier and its pall, a .
pot, a cauldron and a copy of the Qur’an. The majority of the - =
jurists of various countries have accepted his view. |

LI. THe Zaxntrat-ar-‘UQpi (ibid.).
Muhammad says, as for those moveables the wagqf of which 4
has been recognized by people, it is valid to make waqf thereof

recognized in practice cannot be made wagqf of, e.g., clothes, ani-
mals and other household goods. The view of al-Shafi‘i, Ahmad
and Malik is that the waqf of moveables independently is valid,
provided that the moveable is something of which use can be
made consistently with the preservation of the original, of what-
ever nature it may be.

They are unanimous that it is not valid to make waqf of
dirhams and dinars. The reason of al-Shafi‘i’s view rests on the

t
is valid to make wagf of them, according to Ahmad and al-Shafi‘l,
seeing that Hafsah, the daughter of ‘Umar and wife of the Prophet,
bought ornaments for 20,000 dirhams and made waqf of them
for the benefit of the womenfolk of the family of al-Khattaéb
Hence she paid no poor-rate on them. According to Ahmad, it
is not lawful to make waqf of these even, and he denies the
authority of this tradition. It has been said, if we allow the
hiring of dirhams and dinars as valid, it is equally valid to
make waqf of them. But this is of no weight. Here ends the
quotation from the Dirayah. And it has been said in the

But wesay that the way to reconcile what has been mentioned in
these two authentic works, viz., that it is lawful to make waqf
of coins and food grains with what has been mentioned in the

of them consistently with the preservation of the original,
whereas the propounder of the view expressed in these two

works does imagine it to be so. But the true answer is that
there is no need to reconcile the two views, as the propounders
of the two views belong to rival schools [7.e., the Hanafi and
the Shafi‘l ] as you see; whereas reconciliation is only necessary
when it is a question of views propounded by people belonging
tothe same school. The matter requires critical consideration.

matter of the waqf and protect it till one of the children
attains the age of discretion. Then the dedicator dies, and

private waqf. The house is acquired by the Government to
include it in the palace of the wife of our late great ruler; and
as it is a private waqf, the payment of its price has been with-
held for the purpose of its exchange (istibdal). Now the agent
of the owner of the above-mentioned house has submitted a
petition to the effect that the remaining portion of the waqf

[V.S.}

spent for repairs, but another piece of land should be purchased
which should be waqf in the stead of the original wagf. The
price of the débris, however, when sold on account of the build-
ing being difficult to restore or through fear of loss of the
débris, may be spent for repairs and the Mutawalli of the waqf
may take the price and then spend it for repairing the rest
of the wagf property. In the Tangth-al-Hamidiyyah it is laid

from the Fatawd-’!- Lutfi: Its logical conclusion is oe validity
of expending the money obtained in exchange, for repairing
the wagf. The matter requires critical voberdersison. n
exchange (istibdal) and sale are one and the same as regards their
final result, and God knows best. I say that Shaykh Isma‘il
has also answered similarly in his Fatawd, viz , that repairs
should be made out of the money obtained in exchange, and
borrowing should not be resorted to, as it is a:
seeing that there is money belonging to the waqf. An

as been stated in the Fatawd-'l-Lutfi is as follows: aad

Cadi authorized to give it; and they are replaced out of the
profits of the waqf after the repairs in orderto purchase with it
something which would be waqf like the original waqf, and it
will not be property belonging to the beneficiaries of the waaqf,
nor inheritance. (Vol. II, p. 524).

LX. THE VALIDITY OF WAQF OF MUSHA‘ EVEN WHEN
CAPABLE OF DIVISION.

The following question was put on behalf of the Bayt-al-
Mal of Egypt: A woman makes waqf of half of her house in
Cairo for some purpose, and the other half she gives to her
Meee what is the order with respect to it ?

Answer.—There is divergence of opinion concerning the
waqf of Musha‘ ; but the judge may decree its validity relying
on the view of the second Imam, Abt Yusuf. Therefore when
the fact of the woman’s having made want of half the house is
proved, fulfilling its conditions, the judge is at liberty to decree
the validity of the waqf and its bindingness. (Vol. II, p. 541).

LXI. Question.—A man makes wagqf of half a public bath,
which is Musha‘, incapable of division, for his own benefit for life,
then for the benefit of his children, etc... . Answer.—There is
divergence of opinion regarding the waqfof Musha‘. If a decree
is obtained in favour of its validity, it is given effect to, as there
are two views with respect to it, both of which are pronounced
correct. This divergence of opinion is with regard to what is
capable of division. As for that which is incapable of division
as in the present case, it is valid unanimously except in the

case of a mosque and a cemetery, as itis expressly laid down in a
the books of the school. (Vol. II, p. 545). :

LXII. Question.—Is exchange permissible [in Egypt] when )
the dedicator has expressly forbidden it and there is no advan- .
tage ?

Answer.—(The Fatwa4 also includes the names and seals of he
Shaykh Khalil-al-Rashidi, Registrar of Fatwds, and Sheikh /
Muhammad al-Mansuri, the Hanafite.) There is an old diver- a
gence of opinions amongst the Ulemas regarding the exchange |
of waqf in the absence of any stipulation to that effect made .
by the dedicator. But the practice of the Cadis of Egypt is
not to permit exchange at all without the sanction of the Sultan,
thus acting according to what is known, viz., their being forbidden
todoso. A Cadi’s office demands particular regard to time, place
and the circumstances of the case. A Cadi’s order will not
take effect with regard to a question which he is forbidden to
deal with. Thus a Cadi has not the power of making :
exchange of the above-mentioned waqf without the sanction of .
some one having the authority to do so, specially in the absence e
of any advantage and the prohibition of the dedicator to ex-
change it. For verily the stipulation of the dedicator is like the
express ruling of the law. It is not permitted to contravene
his stipulation without any legal ground. (Vol. I, p. 559.)

Answer.—Making wagf of iltizim lands and stipends from
the Bayt-al-Mal payable to persons to whom they are due is of
the nature of irsad. Therefore it is valid by command of the
person authorized to regulate its expenditure [i.e. the sovereign].
So when the person so authorized permits the person in whose
name is the grant and who is adult, to make waqf of it in the
above-mentioned way, the waqf will take effect in the terms of
the order; and irsad is governed by the same principle. @

_ _LXIV. The following question was asked by the officer
in charge of the Bayt-al-Mal:—Muhammad Sadiq died leaving

him, a document is found to the effect that he makes waqf of @
quantity of copper or copper utensils, etc., for a certain purpose:

Vol. Jy No. 6.] The Wagqf of Moveables. 365
[N.S.]

Now is it lawful to-sell it, or is it waqf, when what is stated
above is proved ?

Answer.—There is oni ae of opinion as regards the
validity of the waqf o veables. But the correct view
followed by the majority of “seria is the validity of the waqf
of that with regard to which there are Ta‘amul and usage
(‘adah). Therefore of the articles stated above with respect to
whichever of them there is Ta‘amul, it is valid to make wagf of
them; while those with respect to which there is no Ta‘amul,
their waqf is not valid. (Vol. II, p. 655).

LXV. Our most learned master was questioned concerning
a dedicator who had stipulated in his wagqf its cancellation or
ratification. This stipulation was called into question and the
person criticizing it wanted to render the waqf null and void on
account of the stipulation, saying that cancellation amounts to
nullification, and thus such a stipulation renders the waqf null
and void; but the judge decrees the absence of nullification and
declares the waqf valid. Is it permissible after this for another
judge to ere ° waqf invalid, or to give a fatwa in favour
of nullific ue

He caked -—The above-mentioned waqf is valid, and
such is ais. metas practice, even though no judge had decreed
its validity. But the stipulation of the dedicator seg to
himse wer of cancelling and nullifying the wagf, is
an invalid stipulation, according to the accepted view adopted
for fatw&; and what has n reported from the chapters on
waaqf of Hilal and Khassaf to the effect that a wagqf is rendered
null by such a stipulation is contrary to the accepted view
adopted for fatwa. This has been clearly stated by the most
learned doctor Qasim b. Qutlubgha — the Shaykh al-Tisi in
their collections of Fata@wd. And this has been reported by al-
Tarstsi from the Tatarkhaniyyah ead ls Fatawa °l-Kubra,
Furthermore, after a judge had decreed its validity it is not
lawful to give fatw4 in favour of its nullification and such a
fatwa will not be acted upon, and God knows best.

The learned have expressly declared that when there is a
difference of opinion amongst the jurists, fatwa will be given
in accordance with that view which is more favourable to the
waqf. And the current practice is the validity of wagf con-
taining such a stipulation; for frequently stipulations like this

m

ignored. Therefore the view on which reliance ought to
placed is the view in pases of the validity of waqf. (Vol. II,
753).

LXVI. The following question was asked by the Cadi of

a glass factory, both the sites and the buildings, and certain

Pin wa Is the above-mentioned waqf valid ?

Answer.—Yes, the above-mentioned wagqf is valid on
account of existing practice, in addition to their having been
Ta‘amul with regard to the waqf of buildings and trees planted
in land taken on a permanent basis without the land. Such is
the case when there is no other impediment. (Vol. II, 754).

LXIX. The following question was asked by the mayor-
alty on the 24th Jumadé I, 1279 :—The benefit of the ruling of
law is sought with respect to the sale of acertain amount of money
which was payable from a certain department of the Bayt-al-Mal
to a woman named the Abyssinian Nasikh, who is dead. The
above-mentioned department had placed the money with the Med-
jidiéCo. A man proved himself to be the heir of that woman after
her death by decree of the Cadi. Now a Christian claims to
have bought the amount from the aforesaid heir and demands
the amount and its interest.

nswer.—The proceedings in this case from beginning to
end are not in accordance with the requirements of law; an
the sale by her heir of the amount with the Company and the

The sale of written orders issued by the Diwan to the
Governors for the payment of certain sums of money is not
valid, unlike the sale of the shares of the Imams [which is valid],

exists, while in the other case it is not so.—Ashbah and Qunyah.
The meaning is that it is lawful for the beneficiary to sell his

_ This question has been clearly explained in the Tatar-

This may happen in five ways—(1) He delivers those very

question before paying the price with that money and does so
afterwards; (3) or he purchases the article before delivering that

LXXVI. And this [rule] changes with the change of time and
place, as we see. I say, the ground on which the rule was based
was fear, which is likewise elas on account of merchant
vessels known in our days as steam-boats, because there is
a strong presumption of safety with regard to them, so much
so, that no merchant ey feels secure unless he ships his

oods in them. hen the ground is no longer existent, the rule
also disappears. For, we have said before, and it will be stated
later on also, that regard should be had to the recognized prac-
tice oe the os of deposits. Now thatthe recog-
nized practice is such, it should be said that there is no
difference between travelling with the deposit by land and
travelling with it by steam-boat. (Vol. IT, 334)

Isr. (p. 309).

LXXVII. ‘‘ Al-Shafi‘i states absolutely that a creditor
may take what is due to him as regard things not of the same
nature as what he had given his debtor, *’ that is to say, i
either money or commodities; for as regards money, it is
permissible to take it according to our school, as stated previ-
ously. Al-Quhistani says : In this there is an indication that

e may receive payment in things not of the same nature,
similar in id spa of a value. This is when of greater
convenience, so that we may adopt it, although not the opinion
of our sonnal, for, as aE Zahidi says, a man may be excused
if he were to follow this under necessity.

LXXVIII. Tue Rapp-at-Muutar (I1/, p. 376).

The substance of all this is that the reason given here on

the authority of al-Hidayah is based on the principle that ‘‘ all

things are originally lawful. ** This is the opinion of the
Mu‘tazilah.

370 Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bengal. [June, 1911.

Ipip. (p. 377).

To ascribe the original lawfulness of things to the Mu‘tazi-
lah is at variance with what is stated in books on the Principles
of Law; for, in the Tahrir of Ibn-al-Hammam it is stated that
that all things are originally lawful is the authoritative view of
the Hanafis and Shafi’is generally. Itis also stated in the com-
mentary on the ‘‘ Principles’ ’(U stl) of al-Bazdawi by al-‘ Allamat-
al-Akmal: The majority of our doctors as well as the majority
of the Shafi’i doctors say that all things which it is permissible
that Law may allow or forbid, are, before the law speaks,
lawful, for lawfulness is the original property of things; so
that it has been declared permissible for one who has not heard
of the law to that effect to eat whatever he likes. And it is to
this that Muhammad alludes when he treats of compulsion.
He says: ‘‘ the eating of what is dead and the drinking of wine
have not become unlawful except by the prohibition.’’ So he
makes lawfulness to be the original state of things and unlaw-
fulness only an accident.

LXXIX. Tue NOr-at-AnwARr (p. 221, Hd. Lucknow).

And the condition of a valid ijma‘ is the assemblage of all ;
and the dissent of one is an impediment like the dissent of
the majority, é.e., if at the time of the meeting of the ima’
one man expresses his dissent, his dissent will be taken into
consideration and the meeting of the ijma‘ will not be held
because the word “ people ’’ in the saying of the Prophet, ‘“‘ My
ummah (people) will never agree upon an error ’’ embraces
all; so it is possible the right be with the dissenter.

Note.—** Assemblage of all,’’ 7.e., (a) all the Mujtahids ; ()
and it is said that the least number whereby it (valid ijma‘)
is held is three and al-Sarakhsi inclines to this view because it
(the number three) is the least number which connotes the idea
of a multitude (jama‘ah): (c) and it is said that it (the number
necessary for a valid ijma‘) is two, because it (two) con-
notes the idea of plurality; (d) and it is said that if only
one Mujtahid is to be found his opinion will amount to an ijma@
because the word (ummah) ‘ people’ becomes applicable to him
when he is the only Mujtahid ; as God said, ‘‘ Verily Abraham
was an wmmah (people) devoted to prayer.”’

Isp. (Lucknow Ed., p. 83).

The second kind comprises of the word ‘‘ three” when
applicable to words which are plural both in form and meaning,
eg.‘ man, ‘woman,’ when they are common nouns not preceded
by the definite article denoting a class or species. ‘To this class

what is plural in meaning only, e.g., nation,

plurality is ‘‘ three ’’ according to the consensus (ijma‘) of the
lexicographers. Therefore if these words are applied to less
than three individuals they would be deprived of their proper
signification. Some of the companions of al-Shafi‘l and Malik

Therefore it is the minimum number to which these words may
apply. They rely on the saying of the Prophet, ‘‘ Two and
upwards make a multitude.’’ The author replies to this by his
statement that the saying of the Prophet, ‘‘Two and upwards
make a multitude,’ applies to questions of inheritance and
wills.”’

Note.—‘ Questions of inheritance,’ 7.e., not to lexicology
because the Prophet was sent for the purpos e of delivering
ordinances and not for the purpose of elucidating lexicology.

Isp. (Lucknow Edn., p. 37).

The authority of the rule that a change of proprietorship
causes a change of substance constructively is based on the
following tradition: The Prophet visited Barirah and she
presented to him some dates, but there was a pot full of
meat boiling, and the Prophet said to her, ‘‘ Won’t you let
us have someof themeat?’’ Sheanswered, ‘‘O Apostle of God,
it is meat which was sent me by way of charity.”” He said, ‘It
is charity for you, but present for us.’’ He means, when you
received it from the owner it was charity for you, if you
give it to us it will be a present to us. From this is known
that a change of proprietorship brings about a change of sub-
stance. Many questions are decided on this principle.

shovels in our time? ...... Hasan BEY Frnmy, Secretary
to H.E. Ghazt Mukhtar Pasha.
The Answer.—Praise be to God alone, and _ peace and

blessing be to the last of the Prophets . . . It is laid down by

recognized according to the opinion of the above-mentioned

jurists of various countries as stated in the H idayah, and this
is the correct opinion as stated in the Js‘@/, and it is the dictum
of most doctors as stated in the Zahiriyyah. Thus it is laid
down in the Radd-al-Muhtar and it is expressly laid down in
the commentary on the Durr that the fatwa is in accordance
with this. As to the waqf of moveables accessories to
land, it is valid without any difference of opinion between Abii
Yasuf and Muhammad. The following occurs in the Radd-al-

htar :—

‘* According to this, what is obvious is to take into con-
sideration the practice in some place where, or at some time
when, the practice came to be recognized and not otherwise.
Thus the waqf of dirhams is practised in Turkish countries

and that if it should be found rarely it should not be taken
into consideration, since it has been already stated that Ta‘amul

nized practice or not. Now as to shares in trading companies,
their waqf is of the nature of waqf of musha‘ ; so if they are
shares in landed property, their waqf is valid according to Abu
Yusuf and Muhammad if they are not capable of being divided.
But if they are capable of division, then the validity of their
waqf is in accordance with the opinion of Abi Yiisuf and not
with that of Muhammad. Both these opinions have been pro-

Vol. VIL, No. 6.] The Wagf of Moveables. 373
[N.S.]

nounced correct by the Lee of the word fatwa. If they
are shares in moveables their waqf is valid provided that diey
are not capable of division and there has been recognized
practice as to making waqf of them. For in the gloss of Ibn
‘Abidin on the Bahr we find the following: ‘‘ And Muhammad
says—It is valid to make waqf of moveables when recog-
nized in practice, etc.’’ Now that you know that the waqf
of moveables is valid according to the opinion of Muhammad,
you should have regard also to the conditions laid down
him concerning the waqf of these things, e.g. that they should be
divided, not musha‘, when they are capable of division, and
that they should be delivered to a Mutawalli, even though ‘they
do not satisfy the condition of perpetuity (ta’bid).’’ Finis.
Finally you should know that the language of jurists here show
some leaning towards taking special recognized practice (‘urf
khass) intoconsideration. This is one of the views of the school,
and it is a proper view, since the language of the dedicators is
based on their special practice (‘ urf) .

LXXXI. Answer by Muhammad Bakhit al-Muti‘t, the Hanafi
jurist a: the University Mosque of al-Azhar, Mufti of
Alexand.

Praise rig és "God: . I have perused the above-mentioned
question. As these securities, company shares, pickaxes and
shovels and similar things are all included under the term
moveables, and as the rule applicable to the waqf of move-
ables is to the following effect :—‘‘ The waqf of moveables, if
accessories to land, is valid without any difference of opinion
between Abti Yusuf and Muhammad. If the wagqf of such
moveables be made independently and not as accessories to
land, Abt: Yusuf rejects their waqf, but Muhammad’s opinion
is in favour of the validity of waqf of such moveables as regards
which there is Ta‘amul. This opinion has been adopted by the
majority of jurists of various countries as stated in the h,
and this is the correct opinion as stated in the /s‘@/, and it is the
dictum of most doctors as stated in the Zahiriyyah. Moreover,
it has been stated in she: Mujtaba on the authority of the Siyar,
that according to Muhammad it is valid to make waqf o
moveables unrestrictedly and according to Abu Yusuf only
when there is Ta‘amul ’’—therefore when a practice has arisen
as to making waaf of these securities and shares, their waqf is
valid, specially as they are of the nature of coins, dirhams and
dinars. ow we find in the Manh: As a practice has arisen
in our days in Turkey and other countries of making waqf of

374 Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bengal. {June, 1911.

dirhams and dinars, they come under the dictum of Muhammad
in accordance with which is the fatw4 as regards moveables in
which there is Ta‘amul. So also it is valid to make wagf of
pickaxes and shovels when there is a practice of doing so.
Similarly [is valid the waqf of] all moveables including articles
sold by measure and weight, things having price (qimi) and
similars (mithli), cauldrons, bier and its pall, copies of the
Qur’an and books. Since the Ta‘amul of the Muslims as re-

ards these things is based on the rule of recognized practice
(‘urf) whereby analogy is disregarded on account of the saying
of the Prophet, ‘ Whatever is good in the sight of the Muslims
is good in the sight of God,’ as reported by Ahmad -. . .
That is why it is laid down in the Mabsut,—‘ What is estab-

fixed price and divide it into a number of shares of equal
value—for instance some purchase 10 shares and some

shares, and so on, each having a different number of shares—s0
that the annual profit may be divided proportionately amongst
the share-holders according to the number of shares they hol
—to explain this point more clearly, hundred men purchased a
Bazar the total value of which is divided into 1,000 shares,—
of 100 each, so that each share-holder may receive
the annual profit in proportion to the number of shares he
holds ; for instance Zayd has got 10 tickets, i.e., 10 shares,
whether Zayd can make a waqf of his own shares, So that
the principal may remain as it is and the income may be spent
for a specific purpose. Whether such a waqf, according to
the Shi‘ah Law, is valid or not? It is hoped that your Holi-
ness may write your opinion on this point based upon the

trustworthy writings of the learned predecessors and endorse —

it with your seal.

Answer.—In the name of God the Most High. The
Shi‘ahs in general and the majority of the Sunnis belong-
ing to the Four Schools and others (with the exception of
a few ose views on the subject are out
of the way) hold that musha‘ waqf is valid. Numero’
authentic traditions from the Imams, peace be on them,
have been handed down, respecting musha‘ charity (sadagah)

which clearly lay down that by Sadaqa is meant either wat

Vol. VII, No. 6.] The Wagqf of Moveables. 375
[V.S.]

itself or that waqf is the most obvious kind of it. Therefore the
validity of such a waqf on account of its being owned by a

joint stock company cannot be questioned. And as possession
is the condition for validity of a waqf, therefore the donor
must hand over (the property) either to him for whose benefit
the waqf is made, or to the Mutawalli; [he must give posses.
sion to the Mutawalli, etc.] exactly in the same way as he
would have done to a purchaser to whom he had sold his share.
In the case of wagqf he must give possession to the Mutawalli.
If he constitutes himself the Mutawalli, he must act according

to the deed of waqf, and must consider his possession as that
er a Mutawalli and not that of an owner. If he has made
agf of musha‘ property and given possession the waqf

is valid je. binding. If he has ai given possession, he
may revoke the waqf during his lifetime. If the dedicator
dies before giving possession, the waqf is null and void. God
is the All-knowing.

28. Notes on the newly-found Manuscript of Chatuhsatika
by Aryadeva.

By MAHAMAHOPADHYAYA HaRapRasAD SHASTRI.

A batch of palm-leaves came to my hand, containing frag-
ments of four different works. One fragment of this has seve-
ral colophons, purporting to say that the leaves belong to some
commentary on Aryadeva’s CatuhSataka. This roused my
curiosity, and I carefully examined the leaves. I found that
only twenty-three leaves belong to Aryadeva and his com-
mentator. The last possessor of the manuscript had obliterated
all the original leaf-marks, except one, and had put in new leaf-
marks of his own from 16 to 38, the leaf containing the an-
cient leaf-mark being the 15th. The leaf marked 29 by the late
owner does not belong to this work at all, but to some work on
grammar. So I did not count it among the 23 leaves, which
really belong to Aryadeva’s work.

The leaves were not in order. The first chapter ended in
the 36th leaf, the third chapter in the 15th, the fourth chapter

foolseap sheets in order. The 20th leaf came before the
18th: they are consecutive. The 24th and the 25th leaves, on
examination, were found also to be consecutive. The 21st and
the 19th are also found to be consecutive. The 22nd, the 34th
and the 38th appear to be consecutive, but I can not be posi-
tive on the point that the last two are so. The 26th, the 27th,

As the 3rd chapter came to an end in leaf 15, which alone
in these leaves bears the ancient leaf-mark, I thought the aver-
age length of chapters to have been five leaves ; and as there are

that average, eighty leaves. But as the last eight chapters
are philosophical and controversial, and therefore, are likely to
have been longer than the first eight which are dogmatic and
religious, I would give them a leaf more each, so the length of
the work would be about 88 leaves The fragment in hand
therefore is only a fourth of the whole work. But as the colo-

432 Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bengal. (July, 1911.

phons of seven chapters are to be found in these 23 leaves,
there is enough to know about the ends of these chapters and
the beginnings of the next following chapters. At the end of
the 8th chapter there is a statement: ‘‘ In the subsequent eight
chapters will be treated of—how men can understand the nature

of the world.” “qq saqeataeiad aur uvafa aut GaTs-
TE TRREAIEE ufaurezfaatfa.” In the beginning of the 9th
chapter there is a statement to a similar effect. “a@aqatayar-
waalfsafananaw amiaeitunuae fawe Brae
sa Wunafas: sRMagifeaueniaqwifunaia arafagsae-
SHA: : i TeABAaay l<atagiaaets .’ So from this it
appears that the last eight chapters are the sqfyrg or the
remaining chapters of the work. In the commencement of the
16th chapter there is a statement to the same effect—“aAaqal-
a WEeahe gaed: gaRe Waa Wisicay aaa
ae waTaifeeyloewaq ated vacmatcua.” Fromall

is named as aryzaia, that is, written, by Aryadeva, atfa

[NV.8.]

araajatare the Yogacara doctrine of the Bodhisattvas, and
as Catuhfataka or composed of 400 Slokas. The term Catuh-
Sataka may mean either a work in verse or in prose, the extent
being 400 Slokas of 32 letterseach. In the present case the work
appears to be in 400 Anustup verses, though I am not sure that
there are not some sentences in prose. But when it is named
CatuhSataka, the extent must be 400 x 32 letters or something
approaching to it. The text is accompanied b ingly
lucid commentary by some writer later than Buddhapalita,
the commentator of the Madhyamaka Karikas by Nagarjuna.
The writer of the text is well known. Nanjio’s catalogue con-
tains the names of nine of his works. Heis often mentioned in
Hieunth Sang’sitinerary. Beal inhis Caterneaspeaks very highly
of his works. He is said to have been a disciple of Nagarjuna,
and must have flourished about the 2nd century A.D. But we
know nothing of the commentator, not even his name. Some
of his words have a peculiar Bengali look. He might have

hailed from Eastern India. Aryaideva was a Southerner.
In order to ascertain the verses of the texts I had to col-

These are no part of the text. Thirty have been introduced
with such words as “yfayqieaarg” in 16 instances, fauraagt-
S * s *
aq aie inone, Byway HS GRIMAHA, SziaaaTe
in seven ——- aq in one, SUA TATE in one,
avwafa fe in one, atq yaaa in one, and ayqraqy arg in one in-
stance. Thus in fifty-nine instances we can positively say that
these verses belong to the CatuhSataka of Aryadeva. When a
verse is introduced with such words as ‘‘a yy fe,’ “ary a,” “af
wy,” “sata,” “ata,” such verses are generally quoted by
the commentator to support the text. Such verses may be-
long to other authors or other works of Aryadeva, but not to
the text. The verses introduced with such words as “qygry-
aaa, “Sa waaal,” “sagrary qeuifaaa,” and “qurarg
qaaq”’ are undoubtedly quotations from known works. But
when a verse is introduced with such words as “geyq,”’
“gaa,” “are aia,” it becomes difficult to say whether they
belong to the text or to some other work. But when any one
of such verses is accompanied by a long commentary, it is most
probably a part of the text. Taking the number to be about
30, this fragment contains 59 x 30 verses of the original text.

434 Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bengal. [{July, 1911.

We have found, however, that 118 verses have beencommented
on. But some of them are undoubtedly outside the text.

In the first eight chapters of this work, the commentator
often illustrated philosophical ideas by short stories which are
charmingly beautiful, and throw a flood of light on the man-
ners and customs of the people and may contribute to the
already rich folk-lore of India. I will give only four in-
stances :—

(1) To illustrate the fact that custom (@#tar) is stronger

than law (qv), he gives the story of efeafqgig or marry-

magical power he went home and lit a fire. But the fire said,
*‘You cannot marry your daughter: that is not the custom of
your country.”’

which can open and close its eyes like a man And he has

done so to overmatch them. They in their turn prepared a
similar machine and sent it to him. He saw the fun of it. He

came out and asked the Bhiksu to speak. The Bhiksu spoke,

‘* Let there be no disease.’’ The eople of Kamboja were struc

machine-maker for alms. The machine-maker invited him to
remain at the house for the rainy season. He gave the Bhiksu

[W.8.]

there was a machine which worked constantly by the B soul
of his body as he moved about, and produced blades nife
and that he was a great gainer by the sale of these. iat as
every motion of the Bhiksu was for the benefit of the owner of
the machine, so every motion of the Buddhas was for the bene-
fit of the three worlds.

e Brahmanas say that the man who dies in battle
goes to vaste because he sacrifices the dearest thing in the
world, his life, for glory. Says the commentator, this is not
proper. And to illustrate it, he gives the story of a milkmaid
who offered her person to her father-in-law. The son of an old
milkman was away. His wife treated the old man _ very

him. “When the son was again awa the 1 ae
served her father-in-law with great attention and care. At night
she made a nice bed for him, washed his feet with tepid water

for a woman than to offer her person.’’ The old man greatly
annoyed left the house. The son on his return enquired about
his father, and the wife gave him the whole story, not omitting
the offer of her person. The son drove her away and entreated
the father to come and live with him. She made a great sacri-
fice, but nobody praised her for it. So if you re only for
glory, you do not do the right thing.

e work, a fragment though it is, throws a good deal of
light on the life in ancient India: (1) It often speaks of
curious machines as in the stories given above. (2) It speaks

many verses, of which rete Sanskrit poets might well be proud.

(7) It brings out, in bold relief, the antagonism which existed
between the Buddhists and Maticincas | in the story of Acarya

Sanghasena and his pupil. Acarya Sanghasena asked his pupil

to become an Upasaka. But he demurred. But after a few

days he came back and said, ‘‘ O Acirya, Ihave become an

smc because whenever I meet a Brahmana, I wish to kill
Drs weed

436 Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bengal. [July, 1911.]

The philosophical ideas embodied in this fragment are
characterized by boldness which is rare even in works that are

reality is can not be gathered from this fragment. Aryadeva
is reputed to be pupil of Nagarjuna, the author of the Madhya-
maka or the Sunyavada theory. In this work, however, Arya-
deva though refuting the Vaibhasikas does not seem to say
anything against the Madhyamkas; yet the work is called

-Bodhisattva-yogacara. And the probability is that he is a
teacher of Yogacara or the Vijfiana-vada theory. That the
Aupanisadas and the later Vedintists borrowed largely from

adeva’s works is undoubted. This book, therefore, is ex-
tremely valuable as one of the earliest works on the tran-
scendental school of thought in India.

. anjio speaks of the translations of nine works
by Aryadevas in Chinese, the Catuhéatakas is not one of them.
It is said to have a Tibetan translation. The fragment, there-
fore, is that of a unique work, both as regards the text and the
commentary.

One other work of Aryadeva in Sanskrit was found by me
and published in J.A.S.B. n 1898. I could not find the name

Professor Schervetzky, and he wasconvinced of the genuineness
of the work. He pronounced it to be a great discovery. He said

| tribal appellation of an endogamous section of

inence is en to the name of one Médnd, each line or verse
beginning and ending with this aie AD iaeaaly, by way of
invocation. Mdnd! is seemingly a sort of deified ancestor
common to various Kanjar Pty and among the Gehdrds is
aca et known as Mand Gur

well-known Bec tate Siaacfeat ae with some slight varia-
tion a Hs Crooke—is that Mdnd was attached to the Court
of Delhi as a maker of khas-khas date (Crooke’s version is
that he was a brush-maker ; kinch band). The King of Delhi
had two famous wrestlers (péhlwd in) Mala and Ddandé —Crooke
gives the names ‘‘ Kdlli and Malli’—who were champions
of the world.’’ Anyhow Mdld and Ddnd were noted as
athletes (Crooke: ‘‘for their skill in sw inging the athlete’s
chain bow’’; lezdm). Médnd apparently did not take these
two DOES pin tay and sugges an exchange of occupa-
tions. Crooke says: ‘‘Mana happened to pass by and
‘*taking the ae eta it so deep into the ground that no
‘fone could withdraw it The Emperor hearing of Mand’
prowess and ambitions sent for him and made him reat
with Mdlé and Dand. Needless to say Mand was victorious.
The version of the story as given to me continues that Mala
and Ddnd both fought Mdnd at the same time, but quickly
seeing themselves outmatched they took a mean advantage—
Ddnd seized Mdnd’s choti® or chuttid from behind while Mdlé

made a feint in front. Mdnd dashed forward at Mdlda and in
the effort had his chdti torn off and left in Dand’s hands; Mand
eventually threw them both, ‘‘dsmdén dakhdia '—but the loss
of his chéti deprived him for ever after of his virtue as a 4 |
Hindu,’ and in no small degree of his renown as an ancestor!
A fable of this sort affords an irresistible opportunity to a
tribe for explaining away their present or recently past non-
Hindu state, and an excuse to hark back to an imaginary 4 |
Hindu origin. In fact we here have Mdnd’s claim to pos- s
thumous fame being denied him by his own people; striv-
ing as they are with the rest of the casteless millions of
India to obtain a footing, even though it be on the lowest
rung of the Hindu social ladder.* And so it comes about
that Mdnd is at the present day looked upon by the Kanjar
community, certainly the Gehd4rds, rather in the light of a
necessary evil—so much so, if I have been able to correctly
gauge their sloneAt that he is disreputabie enough to require

him to pronounce the name in ordinary tones. He had no
objection to repeating the name ‘ Mana, > but only in a sort

some food off a leaf plate which had been left by Dédnd as his
jhitd. Dénd thereupon outcasted Mand, and this following
upon the loss of his choti was the last straw! Mdnd’s wife, as
I have said, was Nathiyd ; she died before Mdnd’s degradation,
and this is why it is explained all married Gehdrds when they
die are cremated, while the unmarried are buried—in a lying

30. The Stambhesvari.
By B. C. Mazumpar, B.L., M.R.A.S.

Communicated with a note by R. D. Banzrai, M.A., M.R.AS.,
Indian Museum, Calcutta.

NOTE,

the
fortune of examining the Puri plates of Kulastambhadeva, and
I think Mr. Monmohan Chakravarti’s transcript cannot be
improved.!

I believe Mr. Chakravarti is right in assuming that the
king Kulastambhadeva is descended from the Calukyas. In a
copperplate grant which I have recently received through the
Superintendent, Orissa Feudatory States, from the Chief of
Talcher, Kulastambhadeva is described as an ornament of the
Silki dynasty, who were famed in the Three Worlds:

ia renavah svasti tribhuvana-vidite Sulki-raja-vamsa-
bhusana-raja.

—Obverse, 1. 2.

Now Siilki seems to be the equivalent of Solanki, which is
certainly derived from Calukya or Caulukya. The antiquity
of the name Stambheévari is apparent from this plate also. In
the ninth line it is mentioned that the king Ranastambhadeva
obtained a boon from the Goddess Stambhesvari :

Sri-Stambhesvari-labdha-vara-prabhavo mahanubhavah Para-
ma-mahesva-

—Obverse, ll. 9-11.

444 Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bengal. [July, 1911.

It appears from another copperplate belonging to the
Raja of Baudh, which also I have received from the same
source, that the Goddess StambheSvari was also worshipped
by the Bhafija kings:

16. —Samadhigata-pancamahisabda mahisamanta-vandi-
ta Stambhesvari—

17. —labdha-vara-prasida Ranaka Sri Ranabhanjadeva

oeeereveeoe

On a site in the centre of the town of Sonpur stands a
pillar which is known to be the pillar of Stambhesvari Devi.
The word stambha means a pillar. When was it that this
pillar was raised is not known to the people. The Maharaja of
Sonpur has informed me that it is believed by the people that
his ancestor Raj Singh Deo, father of Achala Singh Deo
great-great-grandson of Raji Madangopal, the first Chief,
brought this pillar to light, while removing a very big heap of
old ruins. A slab of stone bearing an inscription of no great
importance was also unearthed at that time. This inscription
gives no clue whatever to the pillar or to any king who got the
inscription engraved. Another account is, that the wife of Raj
Singh Deo brought a little toy pillar of Khambesvari from the
house of her father, a Raja of Kimidi. Raja Raj Sing then —
built a temple for Khambeévari to honour the goddess of his
wife’s forebears.

The tradition that it is a Stambheévari pillar is of im-
portance ; for the Goddess Stambhe$vari or Khambesvari, 38
popularly called, is not worshipped by the Brahmans and
Kshatriyas at Sonpur. The homage that is now paid to this
pillar is for the fact that an old pillar once consecrated to some
god or goddess has been found out in the debris of old buildings.

Khambeévari (Stambheévari) is now found in the Samba
pur tract, as well as in the western part of the Orissa Garjat
Mahals, to be the tutelary goddess of the Dumal people. The
Kandhs who live on the south-eastern border of Sonpur and in
the State of Boad adjoining this border, do also regard Kham-
beSvari to be their tribal goddess. The Dumals are Hindus,
and the Brahmans drink water fetched by them. Both the
Dumals and the Kandhs set up wooden posts in their villages
to represent the Goddess Khambeévari. i

__ The Dumils say that they originally came from Odsing@,
which is in the Feudatory State of Athmallik which borders on
ot Na of Boad to the south, and which almost touches the —
north-eastern border of the State of Sonpur, where this Stat
adjoins the State of Rehrakhol. The geographical name
Odsinga is of importance. For we find this name mentioned

Vol. ee No. 7.] The Stambhesvari. 445
[N.S.]

in the asppibtighitben of the Trikalinga Guptas. In one charter

of Mahabhava Gupta Deva it has been mentioned that a
Brahman family which came from Odayasrnga (Odsinga) was
granted a village in the Patna State (B.L., viii, pp. 138-43).

I have also been informed that some Dumils say that
they came originally from Khemri or Khemidi in Ganjam.
My informer Pandit Kasinitha Dani gave me a couplet in
Oriya, which, he says, the Dumils gave him in narrating their
history. I have not yet been able to get the a
oe verified “8 any Dumal. The couplet spoken of is
follows

Khemandi rajya nija sthana
Deda laksha Dumba kala bniyana.

The meaning is—Khemidi was the original home which
created or gave rise to the Dumbas or Dumils to the extent of
one lakh-and-a-half in number. If this is a genuine tradition
amongst the Dumals, I am inclined to believe that it was Raj
Sing’s wife of Kimidi Raj family who introduced the goddess
in the State of Sonpur.

The Dumals os up their Goddess KhambeSvari by putting
two posts of black wood in the earth. The Dumals never wear
any cloth or ornament which is black in colour. They always
wear dhutis and saris having red border, and it is only red lac
churis which they wear It is also to be noted that their

Oriya villages the walls of the houses are painted dark with
sticky ash-coloured earth; but the Dumals invariably paint
their house walls with brown-coloured geri mati. They say
that as their Goddess Khambesvari is black, they do not wear
anything which is black in colour.

The Dumal women do not wear any ornament about their
feet or ankles, as usually women of other castes do. They
only bore their left nostril to wear a nosering, and perforate the
lobes of the ear for similar purpose. But they religiously

obtained for tracing the origin either of the Dumals or of their
customs.

The Dumils worship their tribal Goddess Khambeésvari in
the month of Asvin when the Durga Pija is celebrated by the
Hindus. In the month of Asvin they worship Khambe§vari
under the spreading branches of a mahua (bassia latifolia) tree.

his or her seat under the shade of a tree, is called dimli in the
Sambalpur tract. May it not be the case that the name Dumal
has its origin in dimli owing to the fact that these people
worship a dimli goddess ?

446 Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bengal. [July, 1911.

There is a caste in the Sambalpur tract called Sudh. This
term is supposed to be a contraction either of the term Sidra
or of the word Suddha (pure). There are two sections of the
Sudh people, namely, the Butka Sudhs and the Bad Sudhs.
The Butka Sudhs are treated still as an aboriginal tribe and
are not touched by the high class Hindus. But the Bad (big)
Sudhs are allowed to offer water to the Brahmans. The
Dumils interdine with the Bad Sudhs, but the Sudhs and the
Dumils do not intermarry. This shows that the Dumals and
the Sudhs are akin to each other, while the Sudhs must be
supposed to have once belonged to the tribe of the Butka

‘adhs, who are considered to be of low origin.

Even where the Dumils have their temples (called by the
Telugu name gudi by all the Hindus of the Sambalpur tract)
for their goddess, they fix in the earth two pieces of wood, one
to represent Khamsiri or Khambesvari and the other to
represent Parmasiri or Paramesvari. For the Paramesvari @
piece of rohint wood is obtained The word rohint is in the
feminine gender, and it means red-coloured goddess. The
wood rohini is Indian red wood which is known to the
Botanists as soymida febrifuga. The Brahman priest wor-
ships the Paramesvari for the Dumals, while the Dumals
themselves worship their Khambe§vari. :

It is difficult to say whether the KhambeSvari has come
over to the Diimals from the home of the Kandhs. The
Aryan form of the name points to a time of Hindu or Hin-
duized influence both over the Dumals and the Kandhs,
at least in the translation of the name of the goddess. e€
sacrificial post of the Kandhs is also known to be of black
wood. Regarding this, however, I have not got yet very
satisfactory information.

I now relate another account of Khambesvari, though I
cannot assert whether the KhambeSvari, I am going to describe,
has any connection or not with the goddess of the Dumals.

This leads us to fix the date of the plates after the time of
Mahabhava Gupte and his successors.

Then again the concluding lines of the charter are the
same as we get in the charters of the Trikalinga Guptas (Epi-
graphia Indica, Vol. III, pp. 323 et seq.). In the light of the
text of the plates of the Trikalinga Guptas I am inclined to

obtained regarding the grantor who had StambheSvari for the
family goddess, it is safe not to fe any inference at all
regarding his original home and ori

us far is certain, that some or after the reigns of
Mahabhava Gupta and his successors, who assumed the title

Referring to the Epigraphie records of Assam we find that
once by about the eleventh century or a little earlier, the
Rajas Salastambha, Bigrahastambha, Palakastambha, Bijaya-
stambha and others established a kingdom in Assam. This
Salastambha has been spoken of as a great chief of ‘‘ the
chas’”’ (Gait’s ‘‘ History of Assam,’’ p. 27). Who can say
that the Saiva Kulastambha was not Mleccha to begin with,
and did not belong to the Mleccha clan of Orissa tradition,
which possessed Orissa for some time ?

them to arrest the tahwildars and zamindars. In our opinion
the addressee was wrong in trusting the zamindars. As we do
not interfere in such matters, he had better write an ‘arzdasht

addressee requesting us to ask His Majesty to do justice in the
dispute between him and the Raja of Garhwal, we spoke to His
Majesty on the subject. Accordingly His Majesty repeatedly
ordered the Bakhshis to write a hasbu-l-hukm to the effect that
whoever was aggressive, would be severely punished. The
zamindar of Garhwal states that he has never been aggressive,

32. Errata, etc., in the A.S.B. Edition of Abu Turab’s
History of Gujarat, Calcutta 1909.

By H. Breveriper.

Dr. Denison Ross has conferred a boon on all who are
interested in Indian history by his edition of Abi Turab’s
work. It is quite a new source for the history of Gujarat.
Apparently the British Museum MS. Or. 1818, Rieu, Cat. IIT.
967, is unique. It is one of the many manuscripts that we owe
to that devoted scholar Sir Henry Elliot, the tablet to whose

holes, some mistakes have occurred. Possi bly too there are
some printer’s errors in the edition As I Abi Turab’

also made a few remarks on what seemed to be obscure
passages.

Page 2,1. 3. For eble read -ble, Page 5,1. 4. In the
first line of couplet, for sb ki» 84 read sls, The copyist has

intelligible. It was composed in praise of Bahadur Gujarati’s
father Sultan Mozaffar II, and celebrates his generosity in
restoring the kingdom of Malwa to Sultan Mahmid Khilji after
the officers of the latter had dispossessed and imprisoned him.
This couplet may be translated :—
‘« Thy Court is the happy home of the afflicted,
Whate’ er thou takest, thou restorest.

The chronogram which precedes, yields 929 A.H., whi
corresponds to 1523. There is a much more difficult a
at p. 25. The copy, however, is correct: it is only the
enigmatic meaning which is obscure. It seems that Ikhtiyar
Khan, Bahadur’s governor of Champanir, had a reputation for
making versified riddles. This one he is said to have made
when Humayun offered him his choice between taking service

460 Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bengal. [July 1911.

under him, or of returning to Bahadur. The Mirat Sikandari,
see Faz] Ullah’s translation, p. 196, gives a different account
of the circumstances under which the enigma was composed,
but both it and Aba Turab’s work agree that the couplet
contains an allusion to Humayin’s name, and perhaps to its
numerical value according to abjad. But neither of these works,

This view is corroborated by another specimen of Ikhtiyar-
Khan’s enigmas which is given at p. 195 of Fazl Ullah’s
translation. (Page 252 of the Bombay ed. of the Persian text of
the ‘‘ Mirat $.”) There the enigma seems to consist of a bad pun
on the name Jamal. Gargin de Tassy in his work on ‘‘ Oriental
Rhetoric and Prosody,’’ 2nd ed., Paris 1873, remarks on the
obscurity of the department of oriental prosody which relates
to Mu’amma, riddles.

This is the Vasha of Bates’ Hindi dictionary, p. 661, col. 2, and
the Vasa of Sanskrit dictionaries, It means a woman, and
etymologically has the same meaning as the Arabic &use< a’ifa,
i.e. weak, or subdued.

that this word has the appearance of incorrectness. But it has
been correctly copied. See infra.

Page 14, 10 ll. from foot—sahsalah chapar niz yaft. These
words occur also in the B.M. MS. and are unintelligible. Dr. Ross
takes chapar to be the Hindi word chaprt meaning ‘‘ bran.
Mr. Irvine, R.A.S.J. for April 1910, p. 511, suggests that it stands
for chhappar ‘‘a thatch,’’ and would translate ’’ grass three
years old from thatches.’’ Neither explanation seems quite
satisfactory. Possibly gah-i-sahsalah, (there is an izafat after
gah) should be gah-i-sipahsalar ‘‘the straw for the Commander-
in-Chief,’’ or, what I think is more likely, the proper reading
may be giah-e-sah salah u chhappar chiz yaft, that is, ‘‘straw
three years old, and that from thatches were precious.’’ But
it is all very doubtful. See infra.

It is the Arabic form of Parghali. He was Humayun’s Pir and

34. The Polarity of the Bulbils of Dioscorea bulbifera,
inn.

By I. H. BurKILL.

The following brief note embodies two series of observations
made to ascertain if the bulbils of Dioscorea bulbifera put out
shoots with equal facility from any part of their surface, or
possess a polarity in this respect. For the purpose a quantity
of bulbils collected on the outskirts of Calcutta in November,
1910, were kept dry in a bag in my office until the end of
March, 1911, when for > obaerrelitis they were spread upon a
laboratory table.

First series of Observations.

About thirty-five bulbils were left spread on the table with-
out water, and without any interference, exposed to the damp
atmosphere of Calcutta, where they sprot uted. On May 12th,
1911, they were examined and the position of the shoots deter-
mined with regard to the two poles—the adaxillary pole whereby
the bulbil had been attached, and the abaxillary or apical
pole. Six belts were delineated on the bulbils thus :—

(1) the ao oe the scar where the bulbil had

bee. ached in the parent axil,—adaxillary pole,

(2) a eas to that pole,

(3) a belt above the equator,

(4) a belt below the equator,

(5) a belt next to the abaxillary or apical pole,

(6) the abaxillary or apical pole—the pole containing the

apex of the organ transformed into a bulbil,

On May 12th, twenty-eight of the bulbils had germinated,

five producing two shoots. The distribution of the shoots was
found to be as in the following diagram :—

Diagram of bulbil, giving the position of the shoots, adaxillary
pole uppermost. -

The single shoot in the fifth belt was the second shoot on @
tuber which had produced a shoot near the illary pole,
and so also was one of the two in the fourth belt.

Second series of Observations.

On March 29th, 1911, twenty-six of the bulbils were cut
transversely at the equator into approximately equal halves,
and the halves were put, the cut surface downwards, onto 4
porous tile standing in a little water.

On the 12th of May, eighteen of the halved bulbils had
eS to grow, nine of them from both halves and nine from

only.

The 8 bulbils which had not grown at all, were among the
smallest; and some of them had undoubtedly suffered from par-
tial dessication. Of the nine which had produced shoots from
one half only, 7 had produced them from the adaxillary half,
and 2 from the abaxillary half. me
31 shoots in all had been produced by the 27 half bulbils

had started to grow, i.e., some had produced more than

[V.S.]

one shoot, 3 in the case of one adaxillary half, two in the case
of another adaxillary half, and 2 in the case of one abaxillary

Thus there were :—

20 shoots from adaxillary halves,
11 shoots from the abaxillary halves.

The adaxillary halves had put out shoots more freely than
the abaxillary halves.

Dividing the bulbils into belts as before, the distribution of
the shoots may be represented diagrammatically thus :—

Diagram of halved bulbils, giving the position where the shoots arose, ~
adaxillary pole uppermost.

The reader will notice how freely on the lower half the
shoots were formed in the belt next to the cut surface. Asa
matter of fact they were generally very close to the cut. I

have in it a wound stimulus. But it is evident that the bulbil
has a tendency to put out new shoots from the adaxillary half,
just as the terrestrial tuber of Dioscorea bulbifera, when start-
ing its new year’s growth, similarly puts forth its shoots close
to the pole whereby it was attached to its parent.

36. The Ghagrahati (Kotwalipara) Grant and Three
other Copper-Plate Grants.

By F. E. Pareirer, M.A.

Babu Rakhal Das Banerji has published in this Journal
(Vol. VI, No. 8 for 1910, p. 429) an interesting description and
reading of a copper- plate grant, which is dated in the reign of
a king named Samacaradeva, and which was found in mauza
Ghagrahati in the south- west corner of the Faridpur district
in 1908. Dr. Bloch brought the grant to the notice of Dr.
Hoernle and me towards the end of that year, when I was at
Dr. Hoernle’s request editing three copper-plate grants found
in the same district some years previously ; and we were
informed that it would be published in the Indian Archzologi-
cal Report. A photograph of it was sent me by the kindness
of a friend in 1909, and I read it then for the purpose of ob-
taining information. that might elucidate the three earlier
grants. My article on those gra ctu was published in 1910.!

mentioned above *—an event that I have awaited with much
interest, as it enables me to comply with the Society’s desire
that I should write a paper dealing with these grants. The
three other grants are marked’ A, B and C in my article and
will be cited by those marks in this paper. I may express my
regret that this grant has been styled the ‘‘ Kotwalipara
ant,’’ because Kotwalipara is some two or three miles
distant from where it was found. It is better to name it the
** Ghagrahati Grant,’’ because it was found in Ghagrahati, and
presumably relates to land there as will appear further on.
begin by giving my reading and a translation of
this fourth grant, because he has marked several words in his
transcript as doubtful, and has not given us the benefit of a
translation of it as he reads it. The plate published with his
article and his reading of it have siahiobae e to correct my
reading in three words, Pavittruko (1. 5), caru ( (L 10) and krtya
(l. 16), and the plate has enabled me to reconsider three diffi-
cult words, vothya° (1.3), and samsmriya and bhavya® (1. 13);
but iD all other respects the reading that I made two years ago
has not needed alteration, because the photograph sent me
was = excellent one. As he makes no reference to my
article on the three other grants, it seems he had not seen it

hen he published his article on this fourth grant. I had the
asvantace of seeing the photograph of this grant before I
published my article, and a comparison of all the grants is
almost essential to an understanding of this grant.

Solitble with the latter. Letters and marks enclosed in roun
brackets in the transcript are particulars, that have been
omitted in the grant and should be added to make it correct. —

Remarks on the reading of the Text,

I will now discuss the points in which my reading differs
from Babu R. D. Banerji’s

In the first place, this inscription makes no distinction
between 6 and v, but has vin every case. He transcribes the
v sometimes as b and sometimes as v; thus for instance, he tran-
scribes the word vahavahk (1. 9) as bahavah as it should be in
correct Sanskrit. It is always desirable that a transcript
should be accurate, but apart from that, this point is of some
importance. The use of the character for v in all cases
(whether the proper sound should be 6 or whether it should be
v in correct Sanskrit), even in the word vrahmana (ll. 11 and
14) shews that (subject to the qualification mentioned below)
no distinction was ordinarily observed bet ween these two letters,
and that Sanskrit 6’s and v’s were uniformly pronounc

was composed. Hence it appears that “id The cies

and was replaced by that for v. These changes characterize

clusion would not be affected. Where v is compounded with |
labial or r, as in Amvarisa (1. 1), purvvasyam (1. 18) and
samvatsa (1. 23), it had no doubt the sound of 6; but when

(1. 5), sattra (1. 10), ksettra and ttrayam (I. 16), and
(1. 18) appear in his i i

written under the main », so that the letter is really rnna.
He rightly conjectures that this is what is meant (p. 434).
ome remarks may be made regarding the vowel signs in
connexion with the word dhrtaw (I. 2.), for that is the word as
clearly shown in grants A and B. Babu R. D. Banerji writes
it dhriam, but there is a stroke to the left above the letter ¢, and
as it is no part of dh or ¢ it must be meant for a vowel mark,
being written flat because there was hardly room to write it in
its proper shape without running into the letter stya above it.
The whole aksara then looks like fo with a dot over it, and the
dot is not, I think, anusvara but represents the third stroke
which goes to form the vowel au, for the following reasons.
is much laxity in the way in which vowel marks are
written in this plate. The sign which denotes @ is written in

practi to in Pavittruko (1. 5), corako (1. 16) and kota
1, 19). Similarly the curl of the wowel sign 7 is replaced vy a
dot in almost eve e, as is clearly seen in Supratika (1. 5),

Tine 1.
prihivyam apratirathe clearly.

Line He reads vasya°, but the vowel sign over v con-
sists of two strokes and cannot be @. It seems to be meant
for o, the stroke which should be turned to the left being turned
here to the right, because there was hardly room to write it
properly because of the closeness of the letter tye above it.
The main part of the second aksara is th and not 8, as will be

by a comparison of th in prthivyam (1. 1), artha (1. 15), etc.,
with & in Sré (1. 2), kasikayam (1. 3), etc. The word appears
therefore to be vothya°. At the end of the line he has
omitted ra.

_ Line 4. The letter ka between anumodita and Varaka is
the termination of the former word. Many instances in which
ka is added to verbal participles will be found in inscriptions,
and Varaka is the province ; see p. 487 below.

Line 5. He reads vyavaharatah, but the h has no vowel

480 Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bengal. [{August, 1911.

mark @ and the word is vyavaharatah. It is however probably
amistake for vyavaharatah.

Line'7. He reads éurada; the first letter however is not
§u which occurs in Sucipaliia in this line, but is va as is seen
in évapadair (1. 13); though perhaps it may be intended for
ca which we find in vyavaha(ri)naé-ca (1. 9) and pascimayam
(1. 19). The second letter resembles ra, but appears to have
two dots on its left which suggest that it may be some other
consonant unfinished ; and further it seems to have some in-
distinct vowel marks above it. The third letter is much
blurred; so much as is clear suggests da, but it may be some
other consonant and seems to have r or m written over it. I
transcribe it as évarada, but feel certain it is really something
different, though I cannot suggest any emendation.

Tine 8. Babu R. D. Banerji reads Priyadatta, but the d
has the vowel @, and the word is really Priyadatta, though it
should no doubt be Priyadaita. He reads kundadaya, but
there is a visarga after it, and the reading is kundadayah.

Line 9. L agree with him that vyavahanasé is a mistake for
vyavaharinas. It is merely a clerical error such as is common
in grants.

Line 10. The reading is not khandalaka but khandalakam,
because there is an anusvara above and a little to the right of
the k. He reads pravarttaniya, but the word written is pra-
vartianiya, for the n is dental and its vowel is ¢ and not 1 as
will be seen on comparing these vowels in other words. The
word sl ould be pravarttaniya.

Line 11. The reading is not brahmanopaya gayaca but

nopayogaya ca, for the first y has clearly above it @
leftward stroke which with the @ stroke forms 0, though its
_ significance is somewhat marred in that it joins the bottom of
the letter nna in the line above. He reads tad arham [yaltha,
but the words are tad arhatha, for the h has only a superscript
r and not an anusvara in addition, and the th has no vowel @-
Arhatha is the second person plural of the present tense of arh.

He reads the last word as katra, but it is kattu. The difference s

between conjunct 7 and the vowel u is seen on comparing sailra
(I. 10) with anwmoditaka (1. 4) and catuh (1. 16), but the full
curve of the w in kattu is marred because it is on the edge of
the plate. The whole word (if we complete it by reading 0?
into |. 12) is kattum iti, which is an error for karttum iti. There
must be an infinitive here after the verb arhatha. dh

Line 12. The reading is not yata dhanad but yata enad, és
and ¢ being much alike. Hnad is the accusative case singular
etad in the neuter. He reads sam tho, but the word is éamiho ;
the sibilant being clearly §. This must be read with
following letters as Samthoparilikhita’, that is, samtha + uparr
likhita>. At the end of the line came some word, which beg®”
with @ (so as to produce Wikhita® by Sandhi), and had probably

two abeeres which have been obliterated, and finished with
tea in |
ne 13. This is the most difficult of all the lines as Babu

R. D. Banerji has noted. The first two aksaras are more than
nya vya° as he reads, for the nya has vowel marks above it and
the vya appears to have a superscript r. The reading must be
nyair vya°; and nyair is the final syllable of the word which
has become obliterated at the end of 1. 12, and which is in the
instrumental case plural agreeing with epee vaharibhih. Still if
we read nya, it would be com ponies with wyavaharibhih, and
the meaning would be the sam

ext comes a difficult word which he reads as samantya,
but the main portion of the second aksara in it is the same as
the first, that is s in both cases. The third aksara is either
tya or nya but has not enough strokes to be ntya. It appears
to be tya if we compare it with tya at the beginning of line 15
and the shape of ¢ in tac ca° (1. 16). These inferences combined
give sasatya. It will be seen from the subsequent remarks on
the grammatical construction of ll. 13 and 14, that this word
must be an indeclinable past participle, and the termination
ya shews that the root must be a compound one. The on
preposition possible in this word is sam. Now the right limb
of the first s is continued above the top of the letter into a
small knob, which appears to represent anusvara ; hence the

n the

perpendicular line which suggests that a compound consonant is
intended, and if so, that can only be sm, and we may conjec-
ture that the engraver erroneously incised only s instead of sm,
ana the mistake was corrected afterwards by inserting that
middle line in order to make the character look as nearly like
sm as was possible. Further under this sm there seems to be
a faint trace as of the vowel 7; but, whether that is real or

samsmrtya. In support of this rendering it may be pointed
out thai no other indeclinable past participle (as far as I am
aware) can be suggested wiich will satisfy both the script and
the se1-e of this passage

The remainder of this line and the greater part of 1. 14 con-
tain many difficulties, and the key to unlock them is found in
the fact that the words between samsmitya (1. 13) and tad
asmai (|. 14) compose a Sloka.

He reads the first three aksaras of the Sloka as sa@patt, but
the last is ta, and the form of ta is seen in paitts (ll. 11, 15 aa
17). The second is not like any p in this inscription, for it
has a bar along the whole of its top, whereas the general form
of p is shown in the next word évapadair. This aksara must,
it seems, be meant for sa, the middle horizontal bar of which
has been carelessly blended with the wedge-shaped top and so
gives the appearance of a continuous though not clean-cut

482 Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bengal. {August, 1911.

logy of the higher numerals. The correct instrumental sadbhih
would suit the metre perfectly, but might have been beyond
the learning of the person who composed this grant, for the
Sanskrit contains many errors. This suggestion has its diffi-
culties, yet in support of it I may add that no other reading of
the second character yields any sense. I may also point out
that a similar irregular formation occurs in grant A in anaih
(1. 22), which is probably meant for ebhih; and, as the correct
ord was apparently beyond the composer’s learning, he
coined anaih from anena after the analogy of ivena and sivath.
The next three words are clearly évapadair justa rajno.
The remainder of this line consists of three words of which the
last two are certainly artha-nisphala, though the last two
aksaras are somewhat blurred. The first word which consists of
two aksaras is difficult. The first letter is certainly a soft con-
sonant (because rajiiah has become rajio before it) and appears
to be dh or bh with a faint indication of the vowel a. The
second is a double consonant, but peculiar. BabuR. D. Baner-
ji read it as rmma, but it is not like m and there is no@; yetif
so taken it can only be rmma. It seems to me however to be
vya ; compare it with the v in °vdrtha (1. 14). The two aksaras
would therefore be dharmma as his reading would stand then,
or bhavya as I take them. This word and the next then re
dharmmartha or bhavy-artha. In favour of his reading it may
be noted that dharmmartha (or rather dharmmdartha, as it would
have to be amended, and as he amends it) would correspond
to art. rmma in the second half of the gloka in 1. 14; but

should be precise parallelism regarding rma and artha im
lines = a The reading therefore appears to be bhavy-
ssep

cultivated land with land infested vive wild animals. Now v there
are only two letters which with ¢sa make a word, namely, ma
and va. Matsa is inadmissible: it is a rare form of matsya and

- makes nonsense of this passage. Vatsa therefore is the only

possible word, and it yields a good and striking meaning. It

must be admitted that the character is not va not even ba, and

I can only suggest that the engraver has bungled the letter.

Bungled letters will be found in grant B; see my Article,
ik

99.

The next word is bhimir and not bhumim, for there is no
anusvara over the mi, and there is an r above the following
ny. The succeeding words are mnrpasyaivdrtha-dharmma-kr.
Here the Sloka ends, and the following words tad asmai, etc.,
introduce a new sentence. Kr cannot end a word, and it bn
obvious that the word intended is krt, and that the final th
been forgotten coming as it does in connexion with the aon
ing tad.

The Sloka then stands thus :

Sa sata Sévapadair justa rijfio o bhivy-artha-nisphala

Vatsa-bhogyi-krta bhimir nrpasyaivartha-dharma-krt.
where (as I conjecture) sata stands for an original sadbhih.

the remainder of this line vrahmana is a mistake for
vrahmanaya,and dayatim for diyatim. The declension of brah-
mana appears to have puzzled some of the local scholars, for
in grant B the dative is brahmand in |. 20, as it is here, and
brahmane in 1.11. This suggests that in ordinary parlance the
final a had disappeared, and the word was pronounced man
and was sometimes treated as a base ending in an. The sug-
gestion is supported by a converse process that we find,
Sanskrit bases ending in in are treated arcade as if they
had a final a, thus grant A has svdminasya a hyayinasya
(1. 19) as genitives. Hence it seems a fair fetus that the
final Sanskrit @ was i tae dropped in the ordinary language,
as it is at the present day.

Line 15. The reading i is not kulacaran but kula-varan, the
third letter being a v as in the preceding KeSavAdin.

Line 16. The second word is not ksitra but keettra, the
vowel being an e. The third word is rightly read as kul lya.

484 Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bengal. {August, 1911,

The next words are vapa-ttrayamm apasya, the ¢ being doubled
with the r as is generally done here and in the other grants, and
a superfluous anusvara being wrongly placed over the ya. The
remaining letters are not vyaghracora koyacchi patacca bhuhsima
but vyaghra-corako yac chesam tac catuh-stma-; the vawel over
the cch is e and not 7; the next letter is a badly formed sa and
not pa, for p has no bar at the top of its right limb; and over
this sa is an anusvara which is slightly displaced to the left
because the aksara Jpya in the preceding line prevents its
being placed in its proper position. What he reads as bhu is
tu formed rather carelessly, for the left limb has the curve
that ¢ always has in this inscription (see for instance the ¢ in
tac ca immediately preceding), whereas that limb in DA is
always curved the other way (see remarks above on 1. 14).
His conjecture therefore about patacca (p. 434) is unnecessary.
} The reading is Supratika-svaminah, and not
Supratika-svaminah, though this is probably a printer’s error.
Line 19. He reads jogika, but the word is jotika for the
second letter has not the bar at the bottom of its left limb

the ¢ a line which is evidently a virama. At the end the plate
shows a single bar clearly, so that a double one has not to be
supplied.

Line 22. The first word is not sva-datlam but sva-dalam,
as the ¢ is not double ; this is an error of course. His read
vasundharam should be vasiindharam, for the s has not only its
right limb extended downwards to denote u, as in Supraiika
(ll. 5 and 17), but also a curve added thereto which makes the
long aw. This of course is another error. The reading 8

vowel mark being ¢ rather than 7. He reads samvat, but the

Vol. VIL, No. 8.] The Ghagrahati (Kotwalipara) Grant. 485
[N.S.]

third aksara is not a single ¢ nor has it a virama, but it con-
tains three well-marked downward strokes which can only
denote a doubled ¢, as in pravarttaniya (1. 10), Jivadattas (1. 4),
etc., or the consonants ts. The true reading pram is either
-samvatta or samvatsa. The former is inadmissible, hence the
word must be samvatsa, and in fact there are pease of lines at

samvatsa, short for samvatsare, the final syllable being omit-
ted as in Kartti and di. This ts may be compared with ¢s in
vaisa (|. 14).

The first numeral is not 30 as he reads it, but 10 as I take
it and as Dr. Hoernle and Dr. Bloch also read it. It is formed
like the letter /a@ with a hook (like the vowel sign 7) beneath it.
The sign for 30, when made like Ja, has no hook beneath it ;
whereas the sign for 10 was sometimes made like la or la and
then had the hook beneath it The difference is clearly shown
in Bihler’s Indische Paleographie, Table IX, where the various
signs for 10 and 30 are given; and this sign for 10 is figured
twice in col. xiii, once in col. xvi, and again in col. xix. Pre-
cisely the same sign occurs also at the end of grant C. The
reading is therefore samvatsa(re) 10 4, thatis, 14. The word

ura shews that the year does not belong to any era,
but means the regnal year of Samicaradeva. The date is
given similarly in grants A and C.

NOTES ON THE TRANSLATION.

The mandala or province was Varaka in all the grants,
and in addition to what has been said about Varendra in m
article (p. 209), I may mention that Varendra was sometimes
regarded as a part of Gauda-deSa, for at the end of the descrip-
tion of the Purana-sarvasva MSS., numbered 143-4 in Aufrecht’s
Bodleian ese a notice of its author is inserted which

gins thus 87)—Gaude Srividite Varendra-visaye, etc.

The sonal of the province was New Avakasika as men-
tioned in that article (p. 211), and it is this grant which makes
it clear, because the references to it in grants B and C leave
uncertain what is meant by the term. At this time Jivadatta

well known that river-beds have been completely silted up

The existing hats are situated more northward. The
present Ghagarhat, ‘‘ the hat on the Ghagar,’’ is some three
miles to the north; and there are besides Pifijuri-hat about a
mile to the north-east, and Parkunaé-hat about four miles to
the north. The noteworthy point here is that ‘“ the hat on
the Ghagar”’ has been shifted northwards. It was originally
in Ghagrahati as the name testifies, and although this mauza
still retains its name, the hat which gave it its name has been
moved to the north. What was the reason for the removal ?
I venture to suggest the following explanation. :

e map shows that all the country adjoining Ghagrahau
on the south and south-west is now bil or ‘‘ marsh.’’ It is not
likely that the ancient hat on the Ghagar would have been
placed in proximity to a marsh, when excellent sites were
available a little further northward. Elsewhere! I have ad-
duced reasons to show that there have been local subsidences

doned, where it has been found, as being no longer of any

urther, from the considerations put forward in my article
on the other grants (p. 209) and from what is known of the

and studied the six Angas. In B and C the grantees Soma-
svamin and Gomidatta-svamin were of the lineage of Kanva,
were Vajasaneyas, are styled Lauhityas and are commended as
virtuous. It appears from the tenor of this grant, that
Supratika-svamin had come to this place and was willing, if he
could get some land, to settle in it and perform religious rites.
The matter was transacted between him and the vyavaharins
who resided here. Nothing is said about the villagers taking
any part in it. Information of the proposed transaction had
to be given to the adhikarana and the mahattaras, as has been
noticed in my article (p. 214), but it is stated clearly that it
was the vyavaharins who accepted his proposal and gave him
theland. The arrangement therefore was one entirely between
him and them. There was no grantor who bought the land
and bestowed it on a grantee as in the three other plates ; but
he asked for some land as a consideration for his undertaking as
a brahman to offer the bali, caru and sacrifices, and they ac-
cepted his proposal. It was no case of purchase, but a free
gift by the vyavaharins on condition that he should perform
priestly functions. The general terms used imply that he was
to become priest to them generally, and that there was no
other brahman in the place. Here then we have an instance
of the way in which brahmans moved onwards and settled as
priests in new places which had reached a position to need
their services.

The arrangement was made with the cognizance of the
adhikarana and in the presence of the mahatiaras, and the seal
of the adhikarana would have been affixed to this plate as it
was to the other grants. The curved shape of the left-hand
margin of the inscription in all the grants shows, that this
plate was made to receive a round seal fastened on its front as
the other grants still have, and that the triangular hole, which

unnecessary to measure the area as in those grants (p. 213).
t was presumably covered with jungle in which tigers and
other dangerous animals could lurk, for so much is implied by
the citation of the verse, which contrasts the benefit that
accrues to the king, when land is perfectly reclaimed, with
what he loses when it is infested by wild beasts. It may also
be inferred from that citation that the area was considerable,
because the verse would not be significant, if the area was only
a small patch insufficient to offer harbour to wild animals. It
seems probable therefore that the remainder, which was given
to Supratika-svamin, could hardly have been much less than
what had been granted away previously.

that a document executed in this outlying region should show
older styles of writing than would be found in contemporane-
ous inscriptions at Bodh Gaya and Ganjam with which he
compares this grant. An interesting illustration of this diver-
gence is found in grant C In the body of that deed the letter
s is always written in its eastern form but on the Government
seal attached thereto it has the western form. The western
variety therefore had been introduced at head-quarters while
the eastern variety was in general use among the people.

makes regarding various letters in proof of his conclusion

throughout and the western form does not appear at all

that the two forms were in use side

of falsity but rather a local characteristic of genuineness,

The next letter he notices is long 7 (p. 431). I have dis
cussed its shape partially above (p. 479), and may here point
out that it tended to vary considerably. Its various forms m

instances) Sila (1. 24), °padaniya° (1. 22), kriya (1. 8), vikriya
(1. 11), ér@ (1. 2), grhitea (1. 8) and kirtti (1. 14). The copy of
grant B on plate IL does not show all details quite clearly, yet
the shapes of 7 may be noticed in sima (l. 21), rt (1. 2),
parkkrati (1. 21) and vikriya® (1. 14). Grant C is so badly
corroded on its obverse that there is not the same opportunity
of scrutinizing details, yet the form of 7 may be seen i
vikkritam (|. 20), stla and sima (1. 23), sima (1). 22-3) and praiva
(1. 19). There was a tendency to reduce the size of the inet
curl of this vowel sign, and in these last two words and In
vikriya® (grant B, 1. 14) it has practically degenerated into a dot
connected with the outer curve. To separate the dot and the
curve would be a natural modification, as we find in this grant;

a curve on its right, except in Swpratika (1. 17) where their post
tion is reversed. The form of 7 then in this grant 18 20

to m and the bipartite y. The m’s in this grant are like those

grant does not support this statement, and letters like these
in shape are found in grant C. I need not dilate on this
statement. :

He deals next with the letter la (p. 431). Its form here is
the later western shape, and it is also found in grant B, where
for instance we may compare laddha? (I. 3), kale (I. 4), Gopala
(I. 5), etc. The earlier western shape is more prevalent in
grant C, in which the left limb of J is not carried to the top of

Seventhly, Babu R. D. Banerji refers (p. 432) to the word
parkkattt (1. 18). He objects to the form of the pa as peculiar,
and says, it ‘‘ does not resemble the remaining ones, which are
usually rectangular in form, seldom showing an acute angle.’’
This p however has the same shape as that in pravarttaniya

tions which are genuine; so that as regards the script there is
nothing suspicious in this grant.

In stating his second ground for discrediting this grant he
points out that it differs from the formula found in the
majority of copper-plate inscriptions (p. 432). I need not

exempt therefrom ; that is, they might be (in modern Revenue
language) either ‘ revenue-paying’ or ‘ revenue-free.’ It was
no doubt to guard the royal revenues from being endangered
that the parties to a grant were required to give notice to the
Government. Neither the king nor his high officials could
attend every small grant such as these were, and it would seem
that the mahattaras attended as representatives of the loc
administration at the transaction. ;

Babu R. D. Banerji points out that grants might be
forged, and cites an instance mentioned in the. Madhuban
Plate of Harsa (Epig. Ind. VII, 155). Certainly grants "
sometimes forged, but the particulars and circumstances
that case and this grant are altogether different. In that case
the brahman, who held the kiata-éasana, claimed a whole
village under it. What he did was obviously this. He did not

the false grantee. It was therefore for the king to annu
false grant, and not for the villagers to contest it.

The particulars and circumstances of this grant however
were altogether different, as has been already explained. 1¢8

Vol. VIL, No. 8.] The Ghagrahati (Kotwalipara) Grant. 497
[N.8.]

ineredible that a poor brahman of no position, who wanted
only a parcel of waste land for his personal occupation, could
have foisted himself into this village by forging a copper-plate
grant for a piece of char land as having been given to him by
the business-men of the village. If he attempted such a fraud,
he would have set the whole village up in arms against himself,
and his claim would have been instantly disproved by the
inhabitants and the mahattaras Further,such a deed, if forged
forty or fifty years after its alleged date to support a claim
to this piece of land, would have been wholly futile, because it
would have been refuted by the fact, which every villager would

benefit, and its very pettiness shews it cannot be spurious.
Moreover it is expressly said that the cultivation of waste land
increases the king’s revenue.

Babu R. D. Banerji’s third ground deals with the meanin
of this grant. He says the wording ‘‘is very ambiguous ”’

Thus grant A has sadhanika! (ll. 7, 15), sal (1. 19) and ksens

. 25); B has karar daya (1. 5) and dandaka (|. 23) and probably
the local title mridha Sanskritized (see my article, p. 202, note
18); C has apparently vyaparandya (|. 3); and apavisichya
occurs in all of them (A, 1. 16; B, 1.19; C, 1. 19).

All the grounds on which Babu R. D. Banerji has pro-
nounced this grant to be spurious have been examined, and it
appears that the particulars which he considers open to dis-
trust are not really suspicious, and that the grant has all the
marks of genuineness in the character of its script, the form
in which it is drawn up, and its purport. I am therefore of
opinion that it is not spurious but perfectly genuine and valid.

Date of the Grant.

There are some data to enable us to fix approximately the
period in which this grant was made and in which the king
Samacaradeva reigned.

irst, we have the shapes of the letters &, y and s, and
the disappearance of the character for b.

e disappearance of this character, which is used in
grants A and B and perhaps in C, has been discussed above
(p. 477) and shews that this grant must be later than A and
B and probably later than C also.

he shape of y isin Dr. Hoernle’s opinion, as mentioned
in my article (p. 207), an important criterion for determining
the age of writings from the fifth to the seventh century A.D.
Its shape in this grant is the third of the three kinds discussed
in my article (p. 206) and is similar to that in grant C; but this
grant is later than C, because (1) the second kind of y which
appears in C does not occur here, and (2) the third form has
almost reached its full development here.
_ In the body of all the other grants the letter s is written
in the eastern form, but in the government seal attached to ©
it has the western form as already mentioned (p. 493). The
corresponding seals on A and B are too much corroded to
permit of its shape being ascertained. The people therefore
used the eastern form, though the western had been introduc
at head-quarters, and some time would be required before the
latter would oust the former trom general use. In this grant
we have a later stage because only the western form is used.

On these three grounds therefore this grant is later than
C, and the date of C is 586 at the latest and may be five or
ten years earlier.

The first inscription in which the looped form of & was

used in Eastern India is, I believe, the Bodh Gaya inscription
of Mahanaman of 588-9 (FGI, p. 274), and some time must
have elapsed before it reached this outlying region since it does
not appear in the other grants.

These four considerations suggest that this grant must be
later than 536 and 588-9 A.D. The question, how much later
it was, depends on what may be considered a sufficient interval
to permit of all these modifications establishing themselves in
this remote locality. Ido not think we can estimate a shorter
period than some thirty years, and if so, this grant might
be assigned to the latter part of the first quarter of the
seventh century.

deva. Though nothing is known of him, there seems to be no
good reason to doubt the genuineness of the name, because the

The date might be even later, because he continued fighting

There were independent kings riishelote in Bengal before
Harsa extended his supremacy over it, and again after his’
death ; and Samacaradeva must be placed either in the first quar-
ter of the seventh century before Harsa’s conquest, or in the
third or fourth quarter after his empire decayed. The latter
alternative is not probable, because of the character of the
script in this grant. It has been pointed out that this grant
exhibits the eastern forms of certain letters, Behiese: thoug
ousted by the western forms generally, yet remain ned ‘in use
in this remote locality. They might have sonkuniae till is

could hardly have persisted about half a century longer (il
rs fourteenth year of a new king after the dissolution ot the

mpire), because Harsa’s supremacy over Bengal would have
facilitated the predominance of the western forms and hasten
the disuse of the eastern forms. It may be reasonably in-

ferred therefore, that Samacaradeva reigned in the first quartet

of the seventh centur

There is another consideration which supports this infer-
ence. The king of Pundravardhana, that is Bengal, w
kingdom was more or less eae to Harsa, belonged to A
brahman caste, as Mr. V. Smith says (History, p p. #29)?

years 620—5, or perhaps later. These conclusions coupled
with the inference drawn from the script, that the grant
belongs probably to the latter part of the first quarter of the
seventh century, lead me to assign it to about the years 615—20
A.D. Between the two dates 586 (at the latest) and 620—5
there is room for two or three independent kings in Bengal

Names in the Grants.

Some interesting conclusions may apparently be drawn
from the names mentioned in all these grants.

parts depend on one another, such as Dharmaditya, Sthanu-
datta and Kulacandra in grant A (ll 2—4), but seem to consist

f u

Palita, Vihita Ghosa, Priya Datta and Janardana Kunda; and
perhaps Jiva Datta may be so treated. Hence it appears that
in these names we have four of the caste-surnames which are
conimon in Bengal now, namely, Kunda (modern Kundu),
Palit, Ghosh and Datt. A caste-name karantka is mentioned
(1. 15). Karanika is not classical Sanskrit, but is evidently a
word formed from karana which was the name of a mixed caste
that had the occupation of writing, accounts, etc. (Dict.) ;
hence karanika apparently meant a member of this caste This

was presumably either the same as, or closely akin to,
the kiyastha caste The position of senior member of the
Board was in grants B and C held by the then oldest kayastha
named Naya Sena. As this grant is later than those, it is
worthy of note that, whereas the modern name kayastha is
mentioned in grants B and C, the name used in this later grant
is karanika, a title which is not used now. Where a person's

Keéava (I. 15). It seems a fair inference that the second parts
of these names were established as caste-surnames at the time
of this inscription.

But in the other grants this feature is not so clear. Many
persons are mentioned in A, ut none can be resolved into a
clear personal name and surname except Vi{najya Sena and

now. In grant B few names are mentioned, and there is not .

apparently many names were mentioned, few can be deci-
phered now; yet two are divisible, the same Naya Sena and
Visaya Kunda (?). This grant therefore shows a greater
development of the caste-surname than the three earlier grants,
and if that method of naming was fairly prevalent in this
outlying district, it was presumably in more general vogue in
the central part of the province. It seems therefore probable
that the use of caste-surnames, which is universal at the
present day in Bengal, was becoming generally adopted in
the early part of the seventh century.

POSTSCRIPT.

_ After this article was in the press another reading of this
Ghagrahati grant was published in the Report of the Archeo-
logical Survey of India for 1907-8, p. 255. It is by the late
Dr. T. Bloch, and he pronounced the grant to be a forgery,
although it appears from his article that a great deal of the
incription baffled him; for instance, he says (p. 256)—‘‘ The
grammar of the inscription, especially the syntax, is in such a
bad state of confusion, that it would be impossible to attempt
anything like a connected and literal translation of the text.

difficulties that he found. My article on the three other grants
was published last year, and he wo ild ao doubt have entirely
revised his article if he had lived to see that.

will only add as a general remark that it is hardly sound —
to pronounce anything that is not readily intelligible to be #
forgery be ause even forgeries are meant to be quite intelli-
gible, otherwise they would fail in their object.

37. A Hundred Modern Arabic Proverbs.

By Capt. C. C. R. Murpny, 30th Punjabis.

Arabic-speaking races, like other Orientals, are extremely
fond of proverbs, and it is probable that their language con-
tains a greater number of them than any other. A large
collection of Arabic sayings generally was made by the writer
during a stay of six months in Damascus; but in order to
bring the list down to the limits of this article only those
proverbs have been included which are actually current in
Syria at the present day. Common ones, such as have already
found their way into print, as well as those which might be
considered either enigmatical or pornographic, have been
omitted. It has been considered advisable to give trans-
lations of the Arabic proverbs rather than their equivalents, so
as to preserve their national character as far as possible.

Damascus contains a larger Arabic-speaking population
than any other city in the world. In fact the percentage of its
270,000 persons who do not speak Arabic is almost negligible.
Since the days when Straight Street was thronged with Sun-
worshippers, its inhabitants have loved proverbs. The strange
thing is that, in a city of such extraordinary antiquity, any-
thing should become obsolete. Yet many of the proverbs which
one meets with in the Damascus libraries and bookshops one
never hears used by the people nowadays. Only a few of these
proverbs are also current in Egypt. Many of them, if a little
obscure, are certainly curious. The collection may, therefore,
prove an interesting one. My thanks are due to Abdo Effendi
Kahil and Al-Anisah L. Kahil, of Damascus, and also to
Mr. R. F. Azoo, of Caleutta, for their valuable assistance

Bombay Presidency in 1907, while assisting Mr. G. A. Gammie,
then Economic Botanist, in his work : oe since then I have

named. Dr. Stapf of Kew was good enough to examine the
specimens and express opinions on them; and I am deeply
indebted to him for his kind assistance. I am also indebted
to Mr. W. Burns, es ponomic Botanist, Bombay, who
kindly translated my original English Percriptions of the
sl: species into G Lakii.

enclosed in it. The fact that this so-called pale is one-nerved
and not two-keeled is an indication of its true nature. The
possession of four glumes therefore puts this specimen out of —
Woodrowia. It is clearly a species of Dimeria. Dr. Stapf con-
siders this diagnosis correct. I thought it to be D. gracilis

this rachilla is actually joined to the back of the pale, although, —

therefore, named it D. Gammiei after Mr. G. A. Gammie, n0W

Shan States.

By J. Coaein Brown, M.Sc., F.G.S.

It has been shown in a previous paper that bamboo Jew’s
harps attain a wide range as a common form of musical instru-
ment among certain tribes of Eastern Asia.!

as a sub-division of the Ruby Mines District. There are other

isolated villages both in this and the Bhamo districts, whilst
they extend as far south as Kengtung in the Southern Shan
States. Eastwards they are met with in the Chinese Shan
States, but never at any great distance from the frontier.!

uring recent journeys in the Northern Shan States 1
have obtained various specimens of the typical forms of Jew’s
harps used by both Shans and Palaungs. Whilst the two
types are almost identical, differing rather in size and work-
manship than in design, they at the same time exhibit certain
peculiarities of construction which do not appear to have been
noticed before, and I, therefore, propose to record a description
of them here.

Fashioned from a piece of hard fibrous bamboo, the Shan
Jew’s harp in my possession is 15-7 cms. long and is made up
of the following sections :—

(a) The end solid piece, 6 cms. long which is rounded for
facility in holding.
(b) eae chamber carrying in vibrating tongue 2°8 cms.

(c) The part containing the movable central piece which
is in continuation with the vibrating tongue and
which is 5-4 cms. long. This part is cut away for
4 cms. in order that a maximum amount of flexi-
bility may be imparted to the central piece.

(d) The solid part which connects the vibrating tongue
with the spur and which is 5 cms. long.

(e) The projecting spur itself 1 cm. long, round off to
join (d), and cut away to a thickness of 1 mm. at
the other end. By means of this spur the vibra-
tions are set up.

the annexed drawing will show the relationship of these various
parts and illustrate this explanation.

e Palaung Jew’s harp is constructed on identical lines
so that a further description is unnecessary. In most of the
specimens I have seen, it is of somewhat rougher construction
and slightly longer and wider, but it always bears the two
movable bamboo strips, which distinguish these specimens
from all other forms.

The Shan and Palaung instruments are of finer workman-
ship than those which have been described from Assam and
certain other hill tracts of Burma, but they do not approach
the Lisu harp in delicacy of construction. There is a remark-

its use appears to be universal among the Tais.

This similarity of design and construction also goes far to
prove that the bamboo Jew’s harp is not regarded as a toy, but
as a musical instrument with its own recognized place in the
orchestra of those tribes who use it.

It is played by both men and women, and is often made
to break the monotony of a long walk, especially after night-
fall, being played singly or with other instruments such as the
flute. It also serves the Shan youth when serenading. I ©
have noticed that the Burmese proper are entirely unacquainted
with the bamboo harp except in areas where they adjoin hill
tracts inhabited by wilder tribes. ee

The accompanying plate (Plate IX) illustrates Lisus playing
their Jew’s harp and flute, and was taken in Panghsa-pye, Tawng-
peng State, Northern Shan States, Burma. Five years ago I
visited Panghsa-pyé, which was then inhabited by Palaungs.
Dr. and Mrs. Schermann of Munich, to whose kindness I am
indebted for the photograph, and who lately passed through
the place, inform me that the Palaungs left the village and
settled elsewhere as soon as Lisu influence became dominant,
and that the village is now entirely in the hands of the latter
tribe.

Women whose children die prematurely have recourse to

Ashtam Rahu, especially in cases of ashtamrah * or falling sick-

Marriage—Ritual marriage is confined to the
family and to some Darbaris, Brdhmans and Banias of Rampur
town. Amongst them a betrothal once made is irrevocable,
except on account of leprosy, constant ill-health or apostasy on
the bridegroom’s part, or in the event of his committing a crime.

for it are begun on an auspicious day.

Only among the twice-born castes does a bride receive dower,
stri-dhan. This includes the presents made to her by her father
and husband, and the gifts made to her by her mother-in-law
and others at the end of the wedding ceremony.

Dower.—The Bashdhr State has recently bestowed two
villages on the two Deis of Bashd4hr who were married to H.
the Raja of Kashipar. The income of these two villages will
go to the two Dejs at KAshipir, and to their offspring after their
death. Occasionally the chief or a rani gives dower to a Brahman
girl. She is then called a kankori, and is regarded as the donor’s
own daughter. Even poor men give a daughter some dower
according to their means. Locally this is called sambhdl, a term

which includes my present made to a married daughter on
certain occasions.

In brief, formal marriage is confined to families resident in a bdzdr
or township or connected with the State darbdr.

Another form o customary marriage with a maid, who 1

If the girl’s parents have a husband in view, but she is for-

etc., while the bridegroom gives his mother-in-law, father, or
brother-in-law a present of cash.

The consideration paid by the bridegroom to the bride’s
guardians is called dheri, and if from any cause the marriage is
dissolved this sum must be refunded to the bridegroom. The
man who abducts or seduces a married woman is liable for the
payment of the dheri to her first husband. Moreover, if she has
a child by her first husband and takes it with her, the second
husband becomes liable for this child’s maintenance; but it does
not inherit its step-father’s property.

An unmarried woman who gives birth to a child is called
bahbi or bahri, and the child, who is called jatt or — has
no rights whatever, if she marry, in her husband’s property.

The temple servants are the kdrddr or manager, pujari,
bhanddri, tokri, math, kayath, mali ' and bajantri.

In the villages the term pujari or deotti* is applied to those
who carry the deotd’s car or rath, as well as to those who accom-
pany the deotd to their villages.

At Shungré, Chiigion and Gramang in Kanawar are the
temples of the three Maheshras. Gramang is a village in Bhaba
pargana, also called Kath-gaon.

The bajantri are drummers or musicians and get grain, a
he-goat (and sometimes a shroud at a death) for their services.
Others offer a cloth, called shdyi,’ to the temple for the decora-
tion of the god’s rath.

The pujdris ordinarily belong to the first class of Kanets.
The bhandari is the store-keeper. The tokri’s duty is to weigh,
and the function of the mdth or mdthas is to ask oracles of the
deity on behalf of the people.

_ The gods of the village-temples are subordinate to the god
of a Deo mandir or ‘‘ great temple,’’ and they perform certain
services for him, e.g., at a ydg* and at fairs, in return for the

Further, in the temple of a village-god will generally be found
two cars, one for the presiding god, the other for his subordinate,
or kotwal.

The Kali pijans are called kherid-kdri7? in Bashdéhr, and
include the Pret Pajaé, Tekar, and Sarvamandal pijan. They
are observed in Sawan or Phagan, and the ydg or observance is
paid for from the jagir of the deity or from funds supplied by hi

The Shand! yég.—In Bashéhr the Shand yag is celebrated
where there has been a good crop or an epidemic is raging.
Sometimes 108 balis, sometimes less, are offered, and sacrifices
are also made to the ten dishds or quarters. The gods of the
four theris and the five sthdns 2 (temples) also assemble at it
and other gods from the country round attend the ydg. The
expense incurred is considerable. In Bashahr the people also

The Ram-naumi is called Dharm-kothi! in Bashahr, and is
the occasion for general rejoicings, the thdkurs’ thrones being
decorated with heaps of flowers, and many thousands of rupees
spent.

In Bashéhr the Baisikhi is called Lahdl, and the girls who
marry their dolls in Parbati’s name are given money by the
State or from the bazar.

Caste-—The Brdhmans of.Bashdhr are divided into three
grades :—

(i) Uttam, who do not plough.

(ii) Acharaj, who receive the ashubh dan or impure alms
of the other Brahmans and Rajputs. They take
daughters in marriage from

(iii) Krishana, who plough.

Like the other two twice-born castes most of the Brahmans

in Bashdahr are sirtords and not of pure descent. Those that are

of pure blood may be divided into two grades :—

(a) The State purohits, who intermarry, and eat kachhi

with the Raiiwi? purohits and Brahmans as well
as with those of Dwarch and Singra.

(6) Bazar purohits.

All the twice-born castes will eat pakki with one another,
and even from the Khash and Karadn Kanets ; but they never
do so with the Krishna group.

The Kanets appear to be divided into two hypergamous sub-
castes (groups) :—

(i) The Khash.

(ii) The Karan, or Réhu, from whom the Khash take

daughters but do not give them brides in return, and

(iii) The Ganeshas, so called because they adore the deity
Ganesh. The Kanets were originally Thakurs, but lost status
by adopting widow re-marriage. a

If a part of a field is left while being sown, worship is made
on the spot and a he-goat sacrificed because it is unlucky to leave
a bit bejindir (banjar, uncultivated).

As in the Simla Hills, generally, the abandonment of land is
called sog or mandokri. When a house or field is believed to be
occupied by a demon it is regained by sacrificing a he-goat in the
name of his mane. But even pe ‘ ott meet so regained

it is impossible to find out the truth of a case, and there is no
reliable evidence. One party agrees to take the oath. First
he has a cold bath. Then he goes to the temple and says that

d
man can be released from an oath by the thal darohi,
which consists in making a present to the Raja and also per-
forming a yag, i.c., sacrificing a he-goat in honour of the god.

The 14th of the dark half of Bhddo is termed Krishan
chaudas or Dagydli-chaudas (from Dag-wali-chaudas) ; and on
that day the worship of Kali is observed. It is a general belief in
the Punjab hills that some women are Dags or Dains, that 1s to
say, that asight of them is not lucky, or in other words they know
some incantations by which they can assume the form of a tiger
or vulture, and that any beautiful thing which comes into their
sight ig destroyed. The 14th of the dark half of Bhado is their
feast day, and they then assemble in the Bias Kund in Kullu, or
at some other place, such as the Karol hill, which lies between

On the birth of a son the goddess Dolma is adored, and the
chant called Bhum chung, which runs: Om tdyathd gate gate
para gate swahds (‘may God bless the child’) is sung. The
old women of the family perform the midwife’s functions ;
and for a fortnight the mother lives apart, being debarred
nom touching anything. At the end of that period she

and, if possible, at an auspicious moment, when one or two
months old. Charms for its long life are also made by the lamas.

A boy’s head is shaved when one year old, the lamas per-
forming a hom,! pija, or path sacrifice. As the Kanawaris only

marry a joint wife, the ldmdas solemnizing the wedding by chant-
ing certain and worshipping the gods or goddesses,
goats also sacrificed.

“The nuptial rites in Kanawar are peculiar. In the first
place the amount of the dheri is unusually high, varying from
Rs. 100 to Rs. 1,000.8 The custom as to dower is also different.

One of the brothers, most usually the one who is the bride’s
equal in age, goes with some of his relatives to her father’s house
on the day fixed by the Jama (priest). There the party are well
entertained, and the dma solemnizes the wedding by reciting
some chants in Tibetan after the Tibetan manner. Next day they
return to their own house with the bride richly dressed and
adorned. On reaching home the bride is made welcome, es-
pecially by her mother-in-law. After a religious ceremony,
the bride’s right hand is held by all the bridegroom’s brothers,

and then all of them are deemed to have married her. A feast
is then given to all who are present, and the Jémas and musicians
are fed. This marriage isavalid one. The child of an unmarried
girl is called puglang (bastard), and has no right to anything
by way of inheritance. Such children live by service and marry
with some one of their own class, i.e., with a puglang or puglakch.

The right of inheritance.—In case all the brothers have only one
joint-wife, there can be no question as to the right of inheritance.

the disposal of the dead according to the time, etc., of the death,
but now the Hindu shrddhs and so on are observed. The only
old custom which survives is the annual shradh called phulaich :
in which a he-goat, reared in the dead man’s name, is dressed in
his clothes, sacrificed and eaten by the members of his kindred.

At a death-bed, grain is distributed among all those present,
and the lamas read from Buddhist writings. The body 3s
burnt on the same day, or at latest in the next. Drums, sandis,

Mr. Schnabel has added the Tibetan forms in the above

Wieweit sie dazu berechtigt waren, weiss
ich silcrdiags nicht. Ausser ‘‘Lempo’’ kennen unsre Leute
nur noch den Ehrentitel ‘‘Zo’’ Heer, Gebister, adliger Herr
Edelmann, der jedoch hier nicht soviel besagt wie beispiels-
weise in Lahoul, wosie (die Zos) ein viel grisrere Machtbefugnis
haben. Jedenfalls sind diese zwei Titel der ‘‘ befehlenden
asse’’ eigen. So ay denn vielleicht noch die Ecklarung
des Wortes ‘‘Khyimpa’’ und selbige ist einfach genug:

TITLES OF OFFICIALS.

1. Chares, the hereditary headman of a village (in each

village.)

2. Grokch, the hereditary kdrddr of the village deity, who ~
speaks on his behalf: found in every village of
Kanawar where there is a deity.

3. Mathas, the hereditary kdrddr of a deity. His duty

is to petition the deity on behalf of the public :
found in every village where there is a deity.
4. Pujydres, whose hereditary duty it is to worship the
deity : found in every village where there is a deity.
5. Bathungri, an official like the dafddar of the State.

Caste.—Besides the Kanets and Jads the only two castes in
Kandwar are the Chamang,! who make shoes and weave, and
the Domang,* who are blacksmiths and carpenters.

Water or cooked food which has been touched by the
lower castes is not used by Kanets, nor are people of these
castes allowed to enter a Kanet’s house. If a Kanet eat such
food inadvertently he applies to his Raja who bids him make
expiation (prayaschitta) and pay some nazrdna or forfeit. This
custom is called sajeran or sacheran.

The Hindu salutations are in ordinary use, but when a
woman bows down before an elder man saying dhdilang, the
man replies: Rdbarshang rungshi rai, i.e., may you live for
a century. ae

The grokch of Badrinéth at Kdémré thus addresses the
people :—

A Historical Song.

The following is an old song of the Gurkhé War time,
when Wazir Faté Jit or Faté Ram, great-grandfather of Wazir
Ran Bahadur Singh, an able minister of the Bashahr State,
after holding a great assembly of the seven pargands of Kané-
war, got rid of the Gurkhas in a very ingenious way. They
say that his plan was to put stones from the bed of the Sutlej
into a number of boxes, and hand them over to the Gurkhas
without the keys, saying that it was all the treasure of the
State, and that they could take it and quit Bashahr. This
they agreed to do and left the country.

41. Dinajpur Pillar Inscription.
By RamA Prasap CuHanpa, B.A,
Communicated by the Hon. Mr. Justice MUKERJI.

The stone pillar, 8’—4” in height, that bears this short in-
scription in three lines, embodying a single stanza in Sardula-
bikridita metre, now stands in the garden infront of the palace of
the Maharaja of Dinajpur. The pillar was brought to Dinajpur
by Maharaja Ramnathin theeighteenth century. The ra ae
was published by Westmacott with Dr. Rajendra Lala Mitra’s
translation and comments, and a crude howe 4 in the ina
Ant., Vol. I, pp. 127-128. Dr. Mitra’s translation was criticised
by Dr. R. G. Bhandarkar in a letter published along with
Westmacott’s paper, which drew forth a reply from Dr. Mitra,
and a rejoinder from Dr. Bhandarkar. The controversy rested

tions. Itis Ss ee noticed by the late Dr. Bloch in the Annual
Report of the Archaeological Survey, Bengal Circle, for the
year 1900-1901, where he wrongly reads Gaudapati as ‘Si 'dapati.
Drs. Mitra and Bhandarkar failed to come to any agreement as
to the meaning of the compound Kunjaraghatavarsena, the
former taking it in the sense Or ‘in the year 888 ’’, and the

the Kamboja family; and it is possible, with the help of the
letters and historical data furnished by other documents, to
approximately ascertain the date of this unknown Gauda king,
and relies recover a forgotten chapter of the early history of
Bengal.

The letters are very carefully and beautifully incised.
While discussing the peculiarities of the letters of the Khalim-
pur grant of Dharmapala,’ Dr. Kielhorn sual the following
peculiarities slivers & like pa, ma and sa are mostly open .

the exception, but in the Badal pillar inscription and in the
Bhagalpur plate of Narayanapala it is used throughout.’’ In
the Dinajpur pillar inscription ma, pa and sa are not open at
the top, and it shares these peculiarities, as well as the loop or
knob of ma, with the Badal pillar inscription.' Narayanapala is
the great-great-grandson of Dharmapala. Therefore the Dinaj-
pur inscription cannot be assigned to an age much earlier than
that of the Badal pillar inscription. The other limit may be
roughly fixed by comparing the letters of our inscription with
those of the Devapada inscription of Vijayasena.” Speaking of
the development of the Eastern varieties of the Nagari alphabet,
Biihler writes in his Indian Palwography :—‘‘ Towards the end
of the eleventh century the Nagari inscriptions of Eastern India
show such distinct traces of changes leading up to the modern
Bengali writing, and these changes become so numerous in the
twelfth century, that it is possible to class their alphabets as
Proto-Bengali. An approximate idea of the Proto-Bengali
may be obtained by comparing the characters of the following
documents, represented in our plates:—(L) of the Deopara
Pragasti of about .p. 1080-90 [pl. v., col. xviii], which

executed in Bengal in the eleventh century, ‘‘7, prece@

attached to the right side of the aksara of which it forms part,
not by the superscript sign.’’ °.

inscriptions it is possible to fix the date of the Gaud

42. Two Buddhist Stone-images from Malda.
By A. K. Marrra, B.L.

The interesting image-relics, recently discovered in the
District of Malda, include two stone-images, in fairly excellent
preservation, one of which has an inscription on its pedestal.

The find-spot is locally called Mahibhinta (literally the
site of the homestead of Mahi), which may be connected with

metropolitan city in Eastern India. The neighbourhood was

Mahayana school, which received a great impetus from the
Pala kings of Benga
e first find that attracted attention was the uninscribed .
image. After it had been brought to Englishbazar, the dis-
covery of the inscribed image was reported. It was, however
mysteriously missing for a time, until it came to be soedentall
recovered after information had been lodged with the Police.
Theinscription is only a record of the well-known Buddhist
votive formula, carefully incised on the pedestal, in three lines
of unequal length. It runs thus :—

“xe dharmma hetuprabhava hetum=tesam=
tathagato

i © aaa tesam = ca yo nirodha evam-vadi Maha-
cramanah.’

ars to ay been a custom to have this votive
formnile inscribed not only on Budhist images but also on
Caityas, and Mr. Westmacott, a former Collector of ‘Dinajpe i;
discovered it incised on a stone Caitya found near Patnitala
within his jurisdiction.

The formula in question purports to notify the superiority
of the teachings of Buddha by alleging that ‘‘ Tathagata
(Buddha) explained the causes of “Il tha ig proceed from a cause,
and that he, the ees further expounded the causes
of the cessation of all existence.’

The principal figure in this interesting stone-image has
only two arms. The right arm is stretched out in the gift-
bestowing posture salad the Varada Mudra, while the left
holds a lotus-stalk, The right leg dangles down from the
lotus-seat, in the well-known posture of Lalitaksepa. The

head is adorned with a crown of clotted hair, in the midst of

- whichis visible an image of Buddha, seated in meditation. On
the left side is a female image with two arms. On each side
of the halo there is a votive stupa, while on the top of the
shrine is a piece of decoration, which seems to represent an.
umbrella. The lotus-throne is supported by two lions and the
pedestal contains, besides the inscription, four images, ap-
parently of four votaries.

It is clear that the principal image is not of Buddha him-
self, but of a Bodhisattva, and the presence of an image of
Buddha, within the clotted \hair, goes to show that the principal
figure represents Bodhisattva Lokanatha. The description of
Lokanatha, quoted from a Sadhana by Monsieur Foucher, in
his ‘‘ Etude sur L’ [conographie Boudhique de L’Inde,’’ agrees
ae well with the principal figure in every material parti-
cular.

Varadam daksine haste vame padma-dharam =tatha

Lokanatha, according to this description quoted from the
Sadhana, has a crown of clotted hair, in which is situated ~
- Vajradharma (Buddha), andhas Varadamudra in the right hand —
and a lotus in the left, and the posture in which he is seated 18°
called Lalitaksepa.

_ The decorations, including the umbrella on the top of the
shrine, and a stupa on either side of the halo, are not, however,
noted in the Sadhan@. The lotus-throne supported by two _
lions and the pedestal containing the images of four votaries
are similarly not notified therein. In these respects the artist
might have been left free to use his discretion or adopt the
local custom or taste. But the situation of a female image, 60
the left of the principal figure, constitutes a noticeable difference.
If the female image is to be identified with Tara, it should be
placed to the right, instead of the left. But in this respect the
sculptors often introduced a confusion between the right and
the left of the principal figure and those of the artist, which
Monsieur Foucher has not failed to notice.

These points of similarity as well as of dissimilarity make
the Mahibhinta-image of Lokanatha an interesting iconogt@
phic specimen, as it may supply a clue to differences in the
styles of sculpture, which found favour in different parts of
India or the Buddhist world. ;

The uninscribed stone-image is that of Buddha himself.
He is seated on the lotus-throne called Vajrasana, in the posture
of Vajraparyanka-samsthitam, without an attendant on each

side, but with a stupa on each side of the halo, together with
a tree decorating the top of the shrine. The attendant figures
on the pedestal appear to be those of the Bodhisattvas, Lokes-
vara on the left, and Maitreya on the right.

The right hand of Buddha is placed in the posture which is
called Bhumisparca Mudra. The lotus-throne and the pedestal
of this image offer certain peculiarities. Vajrasana Buddha,
according to the Sadhana, should have four evil spirits (Maras)
named Skandha, Kleca, Mrtyu and Devaputra, to
vacant spaces on the front part of the throne. But they are
not visible here. This image is, therefore, of some interest to
students of Budhist iconography.

43. Freshwater Sting-Rays of the Ganges.
By B. L. Cuavupnuri, B.A., B.Sc.

In the Memoirs of the Indian Museum, Vol. III, No. I,
Dr. Annandale, while describing a marine representative of the
“ re jeer sere (H.B.), reserved further remarks for a

future occasion. also exhibited full-grown specimens from
fresh Witter of ae same species and embryos of another
freshwater sting-ray at the ordinary meeting of the Asiatic
Society of Bengal held on 6th July, 1910 (Proc. As. Soe.
Beng., Vol. IV, No. 7, 1910, p. exxiv). But owing to other
pressing work Dr. Annandale is unable to take up the matter
for the present, and, to avoid delay, it is thought desirable
that I should draw up an additional note on the subject as
I had some personal share in the investigation which took
place in 1910.

Considerable doubt has existed as to the species of sting-
rays that inhabit fresh water in India. These rays were ‘first
noticed in the Ganges by Hamilton (Buchanan), who was, not

unnaturally, a _ deal s re to find them as high up as
Bhagalpur. He was engaged in elaborate statistical and
economic survey oe some Bengal ‘dlisteiots from 1807 to 1814.
After finishing his work in Rungpur, Dinajpur and Purneah he
arrived = _Bhagalpur in the beginning of the rainy season of
18 is in his notes on the fishes of the district Ne
Bhiadshie that he first mentions freshwater rays.
Bhagalpur he proceeded up to Behar, Patna, and Shahabad, a
each of which places he noticed the rays. In 1813 he went up
the river vid Allahabad to Agra and came back to Gorakhpur.

uring this journey also he found rays as far up as i.
n his ‘‘ Account of the Fishes of the Ganges,’’ which was pub-
lished in 1822, he names two species :—(l1) Raia duviatilis
and (2) Raia sancur. Of the first he could not give any des-
cription beyond stating that it resembled Raia lymma, and
he me ean his inability to furnish a description by saying :
‘‘T always deferred taking a description until I had an
pestered of having it drawn, and that opportunity never
red. I cannot therefore give its specific characters.’
Thus only a name was left, without any description or drawing,
and it is no wonder that in later times, after ssl ose oon
conjectures, the very existence of the species was dou f
the second species Buchanan gave a description, car as his
drawing, unfinished as it was, “had to be left in India, several
mistakes naturally crept into the description.

In later days, when Hamilton’s original drawings were

discovered in the possession of the Asiatic Society of Bengal

626 Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bengal. [September, 1911.

and were more widely known, the British Museum, etc.,
having been supplied with copies, the unfinished and
unnamed drawing No. 65 was taken by Francis Day to repre-
sent Raia fluviatilis, which was therefore thought to be
identical with Trygon sephen of the British Museum Catalogue
(Proc. As. Soc. Beng. 1871, p. 203), though many years before
Edward Blyth correctly identified Raia sancur, H.B., as Trygon
sephen (Forskal) (Proc. As. Soc. Beng. of 1860, p. 37). The
principal mistake made by Buchanan. in the description of
is Raia sancur was his statement that it lacked a ‘‘ prickle
on the tail.’’ The spine is, however, conspicuously figured in
drawing No. 65, and the omission must have been due to an
insufficiency of notes. His statement that he had not seen
Rf. sancur above where the tide reaches might have been due
to inadvertence. This last statement, however, further misled
Francis Day in causing him to conclude that none of the Batoidei
were really freshwater species. He thought that all the cartila-
ginous fishes were marine, but that some went up the rivers
in quest of prey and thus were caught in fresh water. In his
“ Freshwater Fish and Fisheries of India and Burma’’ (1873),
p. 24, para. xlii, he says: ‘‘ In the sub-class Chondropterygit,
order Plageostomata,. there are some species which ascen
rivers for predaceous purposes.’’ On the same page, a few lines
later, he adds, ‘‘ neither breed in the rivers.’’ In the appendix

reference is made to the existence of any 7'rygon in the rivers

rays were met with at Buxar, Patna, Rajmehal, Bhagalpur
and other places far above tidal influence, it became evident
that the existing information about them was extremely defec-
tive. At the instance of the Superintendent of the Museum
a systematic investigation was instituted and Rajmehal,

The larger of the two is desc ribed as flat and thin, while the
other is distinguished as high and deep. The flat species is
termed by the Banpars of Bhagalpur pdidl mdrid (or patter
at Rajmehal), whereas the high and deep species is named
metia at Bhagalpur and telia at Rajmehal. The name pdtdl
mérid indicates the habit of the bigger and flatter species,
which prefers the deeper part of the river— —and thus, being
difficult to catch, is the rarer of the two. The name metia
means earthy, probably having reference to the dull brown
colour of the dorsal surface of the fish. In February, 1910,
two adult males of the smaller species were caught by hook and
line near Udhua nalla, only a few miles beyond Rajmehal,
and a full-grown foetus of the same species, cut out of its
mother, was secured at Rajmehal. In June two full-grown
perm male and female, were caught by hook and line in
the co the Ganges below Bararighat near Bhagalpur. This

discovery of a foetus proves finally that this fish not only
lives in fresh water very high up above tidal influence but also
breeds in fresh water—a fact which was denied by Francis Day
and used to be doubted by many others.

The bigger species (specimens of which were caught in
the bed of the Ganges below Bararighat near Bhagalpur)
may now be recognized as T'rygon fluviatilis, in consequence of
this form being the larger of the two freshwater species
alluded to by Buchanan, and having the tail without a hanging
fold of skin, but provided with spines. 7. fluviatilis occurs
also in the sea, specimens having been taken by the ‘‘ Golden
Crown’’ in the Bay of Bengal. The marine specimens were
received deprived of their tails, but their shape and measure-
ments at once singled them out as belonging to a hitherto
undescribed species. Though Hamilton did not provide either
drawings or descriptions, there is no room for doubt that this
is the species which he named Raia fluviatilis.

following measurements will show how closely

freshwater specimen resembles a marine one in all important
proportions. The tail of the former is nearly one and a half
times as long as the length of the disk. The measurements
quoted are from the specimen from Bhagalpur (which has been

which the skin has been preserved in spirit. In both cases

in the numbers caught in this case does not indicate either the
presence or absence of individuals in any particular locality or
their migratory habit, but only shows that the mode of cap-
ture proves more successful at certain seasons.

In the Ganges we have therefore freshwater represen-
tatives of at least two species of Batoidei, viz., T'rygon fluviatilis
(H.B.) and Hypolophus sephen (Forskiil). These species are
not only found one thousand miles above tidal influence, but
also breed freely in fresh water.

At these angry words, his youngest son Shivaswami rose

them to name their desire. One of them, the brother, replied
that they wanted to cross the ocean to prevent his sister from

oming a widow. The vulture promised to take them to
the island the next morning, and did so. They went to Soma’s
house and swept and mud-washed the frontage [of her house]
every morning for a year. Seeing this Soma enquired of her

open space in front of her house. She asked them who they
were, and when they told her that they were the children of a
Brahman, she expressed her horror at seeing those sacred
people doing such menial work for her—a low caste woman.
She cried, ‘O Brahman! The daughter of the impure washer-
man’s caste that I am, what makes you do a thing that will
hurl me down to hell?’ Shivaswami replied: ‘ This, madam,
is my unmarried sister. She is destined to become a widow
while performing the Saptapadi or fire worship in her own
marriage. But [ am assured that the evil can be evaded
through yorr kindness, and therefore we have volunteered to
serve you as menials.” Soma told them to desist. She said:
‘I will obey you O sacred Brahman! and accompany you to
your house.’ She then addressed her daughters-in-law and
told them to preserve the body of any one that may die in her
Raj, during her absence. No one should, on any account, be

woman carrying a load of radishes. In this case also she could
not touch the vegetable. Soma then went to an ashvath
(Ficus religiosa) tree that stood on the bank of a river. She
bathed herself and worshipped the tree. She then took some
sand in her hand, and went round the tree 108 times. AS
soon as she performed the 108 peregrinations her lost husband,
her sons, and her son in-law came to life again! The city and
her house teemed with wealth. When !Soma reached home,
she was glad to see her own son-in-law come to lifeagain. Her
daughters-in-law enquired how all the male members came to

accumulated credit of the worship all of them died, but as
soon as she refused to touch either cotton or radishes on the

Dharma asked Bhishma to describe it more fully and was
told that on the Dark-Monday the worshipper should rise very
early and bathe herself in the river or in the sea, should wear
a silk dress, should observe silence, should go to the religious
fig tree, should worship the tree in the usual way, should
meditate on the power of the All-pervading, visible and in-

On the sanctity of the tree.

The origin of the sanctity | attributed to the Ashvath tree
seems to have been recorded in this Pothi. It shows that in
primitive days, when there were no lucifer matches or flints
invented, fire was made by friction of dried wood. Pimpal or
Pipal was then used for that purpose along with Shami (Pro-
sopis specigera) and Udumbar (Ficus glomerata). The } am-
dubri* Brahmans of the Malabar Coast still make fire with
pieces of the wood of the Pipal and Jackfruit trees. The
maternal grandfather of the writer of this note died in London
in 1861, and as his body could not be brought to India for
cremation, an effigy made of flour had to be cremated in the
course of the obsequies. The fire made at that time had to be
produced from friction of the dry branches of the Pipal and
the Shami trees. This use possibly accounts for the origin of
the sanctity of this tree.

On Sanitary motives.

The Ashvath produces fire, fire is a purifier, it is indispen-
sable in a Dhobi’s house. The Dhobi or washerman washe
aw

the work done by the washerman. It may be, therefore, that
this story records that early exchange of labour or mutual
co-operation.

On the name of the Vrata.

Soma means the Moon, Monday is sacred to that luminary ,
and a dark night sacred to it must have been considered

may have been designed to intensify the feeling of the loss of
the white moon. Soma, again, is said to be the name of the

she fasted was called after her because she was black an
untouchable! The mention of Ceylon, which is near Madras,
and the names Devaswami and Shivaswami signify that the
story was written in that Presidency, where Swami is a usual
affix,—not in use in other Provinces.

45. The Ruba‘iyat of Abu Sa‘id ibn Abu’l Khayr.
(No. II.)
Edited by Mavtavi ‘ABpu’L WALI.

In a late issue of this Journal (Vol. V, No. 11[N.8.], for De-
cember, 1909, pp. 421—456) I published 228 Quatrains of Shaykh
Abu Sa‘id ibn Abu’l Khayr from the only manuscript of the
Society, No. 1398 old (62 O(a) new). With a few exceptions,
all the Ruba‘ yet were saeeuctiy published from sources noted
in the preface

After the publication of those verses Mr. H. Beveridge,
C.S. (Retd.), informed me of the existence, in the British Mu-
seum, of a copy of the Quatrains of the saint. At my request

ogue,
Vol. II, page 7380. This MS. and the Eobresae of Sahabi,
Mahvi of Ardabil and of Baba Afzal-i-Kashi are bound in the
same volume. The MS. of Abu Sa‘id’s Quatrains was written

{ have compared these Quatrains with those published in
the Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bengal. Like the Society’s

MS., the Briti Museum includes m
Quatrains commonly ascribed to others. The B.M. collection
contains h there certain words and phrases which

prima facie are inaccurate. These I have removed as far as
possible by collating with certain biographies of the saint. A
few Quatrains are common in both the MSS. and the rest are new
or not quite similar. Ihave arranged the latter alphabetically
according to the last letter of the distiches and have num-
bered them consecutively, commencing from No. 229, as the
previous edition of the Quatrains ended with No. 228.
Twenty-two of the Quatrains are common or almost simi-
lar in both, and they have been excluded from the present
text.! The following Ruba‘iyat already published in the Jour-
nal, A.S.B., are also to be found in the British Museum Codex
Nos. 47, 25, 28, 32, 45, 58, 65, 69, 70, 83, 120, 122 123, 146,

of it the word wly;= is wrongly copied as wip=,

I have done with the variations in the Ruba‘iyat that are
common in both the collections, and have been excluded from
the present text.

In the Preface to the Ruba‘iyat, already published in se
J.A.S.B. for 1909, I had stated my belief that owing to the
sence of a complete text of the Ruba‘iyat no complete area!
tion of the same was issued from the European Press. Since
the above was written, I am convinced that neither the Quat-
rains already printed nor those now being printed can be
said to be a complete collection of Shaykh Abu Sa‘id ibn
Abu’l Khayr’s verses. As a scholar and Sifi of great ees
tion, he had occasion to discourse on various topics, all lead
to the mystic theme—the Doctrine of the Unity of Divine Bein ing.
Tn the course of his musings and communions with the Eternal
Soul, and sermons to the selected circle of disciples, he used to
improvise verses in Arabic as well as in his native Persian by way
of illustration or emphasis. Sometimes he would utter a whole
Tetrashich or ode, at another, only a distich or ahemistich. Not
a poet who is judged by the number of his verses, but a poet
of poets who would either utter his own or other’s verses, ap-

ropriate to the theme of his discourse, to emphasize his
inner et aga age a a soul, and esoteric meanings of the
holy-wri The Asr Ta ubi id fi Magqamati’sh Shaykh
Abi Sa‘ id. and also the Halt o Sukhanan-i-Shaykh Abu Sa‘id
and other books have fortunately preserved for the student
numerous instances of the Shaykh’ s utterances, which if care-
fully studied will give the inquirer an insight into the inner life
of the man.

Such being the state of = verses, which I daresay he
composed off-hand, not with a view to their publication to the
world, it is rather ‘ehonisiet that students of erage
now and then, come across a few Quatrains of the saint.
Some students, some scholarly i it tg committed to
memory, or noted in their bayaz or memoranda, such of the

them. In this way, and in this way only, have these priceless
pearls come down to posterity. But this mode of collection
of the verses has many drawbacks

642 Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bengal. [Nov., 1911.

he same verses are differently worded: One distic
or hemistich of a Ruba’i in one collection is mixed up with
that of another. Words and phrases have in the same way
been changed and distorted by less intelligent scribes in the
second, third, and subsequent copies.

2. In many instances, verses not specifically noted or pre-

poh Spi
fixed by (<2! Yor ple; ¥ have been attributed to Shaykh Abu

Sa‘id, because they were so Abu Sa‘id-like; though their
authorship might be claimed by others.

Diwans of Sa‘di, Khusrau, and Jami; the Mathnavis
of Maulana Jalal’u-d-Din Rumi, Farid’u-d-Din ‘Attar, Nizami
of Ganja and others were probably collected during the lifetime
of their authors. But the tetrastiches of Abu Sa‘id ibn Abu’l
Khayr and many other saints, like those, I believe, of Khayyam
of Nishapiir, who was a philosopher and mathematician, stand
in a different category. The more bulky is their collection of
Quatrains the less genuine they are. Sprenger, in his Ou le

atalogue, in noticing the Asiatic Society’s copy of Abu Sa‘id’s
Ruba‘iyat, MS. No. 1398 (New No. O(a) 62), remarks that
‘* these of course are not all the Ruba‘iyat of the poet.”’ Such
is also my opinion regarding a large number of the Quatrains,
which I have traced out among the Ruba‘iyat of other writers.
The text of the Ruba‘iyat copied from the British Museum
also contains verses attributed to other eminent personages.
ithout making an attempt to determine the authorship of
many of the Quatrains contained in the British Museum Codex

No. 289 is attributed to Shah Sanjan Khafi (d. 599 A.H.).
No. 295 is attributed to Khwaja Hasan of Qandahar.
0. 392 is attributed to Maulina Ya‘qab Charkhi (9th

It is a pie te known fact that when a poet composes a good
piece, there arises a sng of imitators. There are really more
imitators, in Persian, than original composers. Some of the
imitations areso idee, that it becomes difficult to say whether
the particular verse is the original or an imitation.

In the first stanza Abu Sa‘id says that it is more possible
to introduce the Church-bell—a sign of Christianity—for adan
(call for prayer)—a sign of Muslim prayer—to Mecca ; or to
introduce the tenets of Islam to Europe, than to attain the
Beloved.

In the second stanza Shaykh Sa‘di, who flourished during

the Crusades, and who was imprisoned by the French Crusa-
ders, hints that it is rather possible to transfer Christianity
from Rome to the Holy Land, in Asia Minor, than to attain

with what success I leave others to judge.

I am reluctant to pursue the inquiry any further, as to
the similitude or dissimilitude of the verses of Shaykh te

to them will never be correctly traced. Beautiful as undoubt-
edly are their Sake there are many poets who have
se pore beautiful Quatrains.

In conclusion, I beg to tender my obligations to Mr. H.
Beveridge for his kindly procuring for me a copy of the Quat-
rains from the British Museum, which never lends MSS., and
for his many advices and suggestions.

46. Exogamous Septs of the Gehara Section of Kunch-
bandia Kanjars.

By W. KIrRKPATRIOK.

‘* If we are to seater the rise and history of Totemism
‘‘and Exogamy, we must clearly apprehend that totemism
‘‘existed in all its marist features before exogamy was
‘*thought of, in other words, that exogamy was an innovation
‘‘jmposed on communities who were already divided into
ei totemic classes.

‘“The totemic clan is a totally different social organism
‘‘from the exogamous class, , and we have good grounds for
‘* thinking that it is far older

J. G. Frazer,
Totemism and Exogamy, vol. iv, p. 75.

The Geharas are an Endogamous section of the tribes of a
Gypsy character scattered over CoN and known under th
generic name of Kanjar.! While it is idicervabte that the
Geharas, like most other hitherto casteless peoples in India,
will receive into their camp members—particularly women— of
allied tribes, the inclination is towards a strict observance of the
Endogamic practice. This marrying within the clan is incul-
cated in one of their socio-religious songs: ‘‘ Gehdri Karsi tho
nio chalsi, Kajri Karsi tho ndo na chalsi,’’ ‘‘ Marry a Gehari
and your (our) name will ee ail marry an outsider and your
(our) name will disappear

Endogamous, as a section or clan, the Geharas are
divided up into a number of Exogamous septs, some of totemic
and others of functional origin. I will not attempt to defi-
nitely fix on the exact origin of each sept, but itis abundantly
clear that whatever may have been the structure of the original
primeval clan or camp, and whatever its original Exogamous or
Endogamous divisions, the process of splitting up into Endoga-
mous sections and Exogamous sub-sections has taken on a

e

the origin of the various descriptive names of the sub-sections
and septs of these so-called Dravidian and Gypsy-like tribes,

this absorption of the casteless tribes of India into Hinduism
of the fourth degree (Sudra) presents many pitfalls.

The original gang system as we know enforced a rigid
recognition of the custom of ‘‘ marrying out,’ or, as it is now
called, Exogamy ; and these Exogamous divisions might well
all have been of totemic origin—of a totemism born of rever-

been a totemism induced by some function, or object related
to an occupation. A totemic sept is not always an Exogamous
sept, the one can be entirely independent of, or it may overlap,
the other.

The Exogamous sept can also have a local or communal
origin, and th:re is another claxs of Exogmous division, namely,
the Eponymous—‘tThe ancestor,’? to quote Sir Herbert
Risley, ‘‘ who gives his name to the group, being either a Vedic
saint (as with the Brahmans and the castes who imitate them)
or a ch’ - of Somparatively modern date as with the Rajputs
and other

This fo rm of divisional ti the Epon
has hitherto been the close preserve of the no Higher Hindu cata
To the aspirant to Hinduism there is an obvious attraction to
be able to point to an Eponymous founder rather than to an
inanimate totem ;

Finally, we have the Titular or nickname group, which is
common and nowadays perhans the most popular, because
with a little ingenuity and the help of the subsidized Brahman
it is always possible to convert the most obvious and outrage-
ous nickname into some one of the divine names from the
Hindu Pantheon.

One is tempted to speculate here whether the Exogamous
septs which we find poe among these Gypsy-like tribes—
not to be too sweeping I w say - whether the social organl-

n

Exogamous base in imitation of the social customs prevailing
in Hinduism, or is it not more likely that the laws of Exogamy
originating with the primeval hordes and ‘‘camps’’ have
been adopted of necessity—collaterally with the igs of
Hinduism and the development of the caste syste
The whole question of Totemism and "peer a is dealt
with exhaustively by Professor J. G. Frazer in his monumental
work ‘* Totemism and Exogamy,’’ and the subject in its rela-
tion to Indian tribes and castes has been thoroughly studied
and explained by both Mr. W. Crooke* and Sir Herbert
Risle ey.5

[N.8.]

The simple rule of Exogamy that the bride must be selected
from an encampment! different from that of the bridgegroom ' is

pursued a true nomadic life. As we know them to-day, altho oo
they are more and more inclined to become settled, the Kanjars
remain divided up into several Exogamous septs in which are
discernible the remnants of the camp system; and this is Exo-

gamy in its most primitive form
The Gehara Endogamous section of Kanjars is subdivided
into ten Exogamous septs. Of these, I place eight as true, and
0 as ‘spurious.’ I believe two septs are latter-day inven-

their names would suggest this. It may be, the eight septs

were found to be short of either men or women, and the creation

of a new Exogamous sept became an absolute necessity to

maintain the Endogamic value of the whole section. There is

further justific ation in fixing the number of true Exogamous

septs of the Gehara at eight, in that the two I term ‘spurious’

were not known to all the members of the tribe, while every

adult man, aollewen boys, kn new theeight pukka got. Mr. Nesfield

in his Account of the Kanjars* says, they ‘‘ profess to have seven

clans, of whom five are well established, and four can be ex-

plained by their crafts,’’ but Mr. Nesfield did not apparently

appreciate that these seven ‘‘clans,’’ as he calls them, were
‘* Exogamous septs!’’ Mr. Crooke considers the enumeration

given to him ‘‘ by an Aligarh correspondent,” who ascribes nine

sections to the Kunchbandia Kanjars, as ‘‘the most accurate

and complete.

The ten Soe septs of the Geharas discovered to

me are—

Bhains

Baid Bhains.

Goh-hér or Gailoth.

Nakphula.

Untwir.

Mardiya.

Sunkat.

Sohnra.

Sainak Sohda.

Rart Sohda.

Of the above the two doubtful septs are the Baid Bhains

and Sainak Sohda. Nesfield’s list of ‘‘ clans’’ includes the
Maraiya, Bhains, Sunkat, Gohar (Goh-her) an! Soda (or Sohda).

672 Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bengal. [November, 1911.

Mr. Crooke’s several lists collected from various districts include
Maraiya, Bhains, Sunkat, Soda, Goher, Sonra, Untwar. Mr.
Crooke' among several other names of divisions mentions the
Lohiya or ‘‘iron-men’’ and the Lakarhar or ‘‘ wood-men.
An early note I made excludes the Baid Bhains and Sainak Soda
and includes instead the Lakarhar and Lohiya. I think, how-
ever, these two latter are merely functional or oceupational
divisions

Sherring says, ‘‘the Kanjars have seven clans,’’ the
Maraiya, Soda, Sunkat, Lakarhar, Bhains and Goher and
Dhobans —of these he says, ‘‘ the first six eat together and
intermarry—and only the first four are found in Benares, the
remaining three inhabit the country further west.’’

1. BHAINS. Totemic; Bhains=a Buffalo. Thisisa pure
example of an Exogamous totemistic ‘sept bearing the name
of an animal, a tree, a plant, or some material object, natural
or artificial. which the members of that sept are prohibited from
killing, eating, cutting, burning, carrying, using, etc.’’ The
Geharas themselves have suggested to me, and I believe the,

suggestion has a strong bearing on the origin of totemism, —

that in the Bhains or buffalo as a totem we have an instance
of totemism born of reverence. Though the sept is now in-

less tribes. Richardson in his ‘‘ Account of the Bazeegars or
Nuts ’’ says, ‘‘ they are subdivided into seven castes (sic), viz.
the Charee, Athbhyea, Bynsa, Pa:buttea, Kalkoor, Dorkinee
and Gungwar, but the difference seems only in name, for the
live together and intermarry as one people.’? ? Bynsa is clearly
recognizable as Bhains.

- Russell, in Census of India, 1901, Central Provinces,
gives one of the Clan Totems of the Abirs as bhainsa and of the
Halbas — Mshia = a buffalo; of the totemi« clans of the Boyas
of the Deccan we have one called the Yenumalu = Buffaloes.
The Balijas (see Census of India, Madras, Part I), the chief
trad ng caste in the Southern Presidency, have an Exogamous
clan bearing the same name Yenumalu = a buffalo. The
Komatis of Madras have a buffalo totemic clan = Enupa.
The Sansias or Sansi Kanjars have three divisions, the Karkhal,
Chaidih and Mahais; Mahais = buffalo. The Beriyas also

as they gradually settle down, throw off their old gypsy
habits and adopt Hindu traditions, Mr. Crooke says,' ‘‘It is

the reputation the Kanjars like all Gypsy tribes have in the
dispensing of quack medicines, simples, love philtres and
so forth—the ingredients Geharas commonly use being jungle

animals, Jackal’s fat, and Hyaena’s whiskers. The whole

the Gulgulias and others in Bengal, act as operators, the
method employed being as follows:

would digress further and mention the case of a genuine Gehara

boy, got in touch with a British Regiment in Nasirabad (Raj-
putana), and being an adept singiwallah he applied his *‘ art of

3. GOH-HER. Totemic, but I am afraid the Totemic

value is not very great as catching the Goh or gohsdmp (iguana) —

is pretty generally carried out by the whole Gehara section.

The taboo only remains as a suggestion. Mr. Crooke classifies ©

the Goher as an iguana-catcher—this is probably what the

breathes through both nostrils simultaneously. Breathing
through the right nostril inlicvtes the influence of the
Sun—through the left the influence of the Moon. There

going out to plough his fields, or is starting on a journey, or is
setting out to seek a situation, he consults his nostrils by
applying his thumb to his left nostril, and if he finds his right
nostril is the active one the omen is prop-tious, otherwise his
adventure is doomed to failure.

If the nostrils fulfil the functions of a sort of vade mecum

closely allied to the Kanjar—‘ Neta, which they say means the
“© mucus of the nose,’ in which form they came out of the
‘nose of their first ancestor’’—here we have some more
undoubted ‘‘nostril lore’? which probably also has some
bearing on the origin of the Gehara sept whose founder had a
‘*swollen nose.’’

56. UNTWAR or UTWAR., of Totemic origin, but also
possibly explained by the occupation indicated. Utwar or
Uniwar = Untwallah = the camel man. The Kinjars appear
to be the only ‘‘ caste’’ or tribe in India with an Exogamous
sept of this name. [ am inclined to suzgest the name might be
taken as an indication of some locality where the tribe was at
one time in contact with camels, or were possibly occupied
as camel-drivers probably in Rajputana and further North.

6. MARAIYA. Mr. Nesfield and Mr. Crooke give the deri-
vation as ‘‘ worshippers of Mari’’—Mari being a corrupted
form of Maharani, the supreme deity of the Kanjar and some
allied tribes. But I think the fact that Mavaiya, or Marrid, is

lived in any thing so substantial as a Mdrrid, indicates either
that the name Mdrdiya is given to a particular gang or camp
because they lived in mud-pla-tered hits. different in this
respect from the rest of the tribe; or that the whole tribe were

iven the name of Marrid, or Maraiya, because of their peculi-
arity in living in open-air encampments and never in huts or
houses. In support of my derivation of the word that living
in anything like a house or Marria was for some reason * taboo,’
I have the opinions of several Kanjars who explained that the

Maraiya were so named because they ‘*did not enter into
b

houses ’’—‘‘ Makin mé nahi ghusta’’ ; nor would they uild
houses or live near them. It is well known that these names
often have their origin as titles of derision. In Mr. Crooke’s

Account of the Nats he mentions a section of the: Badinats
called ‘* Marai, a kind of tree.

7. SANKAT. Probably occupational, if we accept the
meaning as ordinarily understood, viz. Stone-cutter. Some
of the Kanjars and similar tribes all over Northern India are
known to supply chakkis or hand grindstones

h or Suk besides meaning stone or stones also means
a shell or shells, and we have various exogamous septs bearing
the same name. Sukwar is a subsection of the Gulgulias of
Bengal. Sakawar is asept of the Nats; while there is a Santali
totemistic sept known as Sankh (a conch shell), the Kurmis
also have a totemic sept Sankhowar (shell ornaments), while
Sunkhar is an Exogamous gotrd of the Khatiks.

8. SOHNRA. Eponymous. The ancestor being one
Sohnra who fell asleep among the rushes on the banks of a
river, and waking at night, he thought the waving grasses
surrounding him were rushing waters. He struck out to swim
to save himself, which brought him to his senses, and he thus

47. A Brief Bibliography of Hindu Mathematics.
By G. R. Kayes.

To those who are not already familiar with, but are inter-
ested in the literature of the subject, the following list of works

value. The list does not profess to be complete—indeed such a
list must always be open to emendation—but it is hoped that
it will be found useful.

It has been somewhat difficult to draw a line of demarca-
tion between works to be included and works that should be
excluded from the list. For example, it might be somewhat
difficult to justify the inclusion of Montucla’s ‘ Histoire,’
Alberuni’s ‘India,’ etc., while Hankel’s and Cantor’s great
works ' are excluded. An attempt has, however, been made to
keep the list within proper bounds, and very few works not
bearing directly on the subject i in band are given. Naturally,
the works listed vary in value, and their oe to the student
depends to some extent upon his point of vie To one first
tackling the subject perhaps Cantor’s Vickemoea® is the best
introduction, but the material upon which real work is to be
done is contained in the original Hindu works edited by
Cclebrooke, Kern, Thibaut, Hoernle, Dvivedi, Rangacharya
and others. These studied in the li ght of some knowledge of the
history of Western mathematics® will give much interest and
ample results.

The list now given requires supplementing in several
directions; the list of Sanskrit texts requires amplification, and
a list of mathematical works, now only in manuscript, is greatly
desired.

It will be noticed that the original Hindu works mentioned
do not go beyond the time of Bhaskara (twelfth century A.D.),
after which period Hindu mathematical works cease to have
special historical interest.

48. A Firman of Emperor Aurangzeb,

By Ragan Ransan Sen, B.L., with a translation of the
Firman by Linut -Cotonet D, C. Partiorr.

While at Benares last October I ee, to come across
a document of a unique nature likely to be of much interest
to the antiquarian and the hiateradl alike. essrs. Saeed

Brothers, Photographers, of Benares, gave me a photo-copy of
a firman in Persian which they alleged to be a true and faith-
ful. reproduction of the original, which purported to be an
imperial decree addressed to one Abul Hosein by Emperor
Aurangzeb ot communicated through his son Sultan Muham-
mad Baha
All instore have up to time been almost unanimous in
ving to Aurangzeb a character directly opposed to whiat
pares from the above document. He has been held to be
bitterly opposed to the Hindus as evidenced by his imposition
of the Jiziah tax, and has further been reputed to have de-
mene: numbers of Hindu temples at Benares, and erected the
mosque over the Pancha-Ganga Ghat in that city with the
écuate of tall minarets going by the name of Madhoji-ka-deora
upon the ruins of the old temple of Beni Madhav which he had
destroyed. As it was, I confess, I could not but look upon the
document in question without considerable suspicion.
therefore thought it proper to keep silence till I obtained
satisfactory and authentic informations regarding the existence
of the original. On another flying visit to Benares I was
enabled to get a sight of the original firman itself through
the courtesy of Kear ce Sheik Muhammad Tyab, City
Inspector of Police, Benare
This gentleman, Wie sent for the document from its
present owner for na inspection, gave the following history in
connection with its find :-—
‘In the Mungls Gauri Muhulla of this city (Benares) lived
a Brahmin named Gopi Upadhyaya who died about 15 years
0. is firman was in the custody of Gopi Upadhyaya.
This man had no son, but had a daughter. His daughter has
a son named Mangal Pandey who also lives at Mungla Ghaid
now. Mangal Pandey had obtained the document from Gopi
Upadhydéya along with his other papers. In April, 1905, I held
an enquiry under orders of the Magistrate of Benares in the
matter of a complaint by Mangal Pandey. Mangal is a ghatia
Brahmin, who sits on the river-bank to ply his business as a

ghatia pujdri, to whose stall bathers in the river resort for
various religious observances, and for purchasing various ap-

they were allowed to continue their practice of weeping there
in that way. There was thus a dispute between Mangal

Such being the occasion when this precious deed was
found, as narrated by the Khan Bahadur, I felt convinced
of its authenticity, and examined the document carefully
and noticed that it was a slightly yellowish piece of old
paper with a piece of thin linen pasted at the back leaving
bare only a small portion, 43” inches by 4” inches, con-
taining writings and Sultan Muhammad’s seal 14” inches
in diameter. It is in an excellent state of preservation and the
handwriting is very distinct and legible and the letters bold
and large. The whole is written in deep black ink, excepting

appears in smaller letters the note of despatch through Prince
Sultan Muhammad Bahadur with his seal on the right. This
seal has some numerals looking like some dates, but are not
very legible.

_ From the papers contributed by Prof. Jadunath Sarkar
in the Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bengal, Vol. II, No. 6
(New Series), 1906, pp. 223--267, with copies of two other
firmans of Emperor Aurangzeb, in respect to certain Revenue
Regulations and fiscal measures and certain rules for the

all not exactly what he had been represented to be, and that

he was rather solicitous for ensuring peace and security to his

for which I am indebted to Shamsul Ulamah Maulvi Kamalud-
din Ahmad, and Maulvi Abdul Latif).

49. Note on a Shi‘a Imprecation.

By Lizvur.-Corone, D. C. Pariorr, F.A.S.B., Secretary,
Board of Examiners

The following curse is a species of religious exercise
amongst Indian and Persian Shi‘as. It is specially repeated on
the 9th of Rabie ‘l-Awwal, the day on which ‘Umar was mar-
tyred. It is too a belief amongst the i ignorant that if the curse
be repeated a hundred times on the rosary, any difficulty they
are in will be removed.

‘*God curse ae ane Abu Bakr, then ‘Umar, then
‘Umar, then ‘Um : *Q God, curse ‘Umar, then Abu
Bakr and ‘Usman, het Tiniad, then ‘Umar, then ‘Umar.’’
When a small boy in a village school in Persia wishes to
leave the room for the purposes of nature, he will hold up his
little finger and say ~~ ai yd la‘n “lah ‘Umar, ‘*‘God curse
‘Umar’’ (or its Persian equivalent}.! If, however, he wishes
to drink water he will say GisJ} cle at ale soceeed "lah
‘ala al-Husayn ‘‘may God send his peace to Husayn.’’ This
custom has now nearly died out. Instead, one Ussa ms-
ra see ‘*T want to go and see the Master ”’ is us (Ussa is a
rruption of Ustad, a term applied to ‘ Umar as being the
ce of all the dissensions amongst the Muslims). For the
ormer, too, a boy lifts up his fore-finger and middle finger and
says adab : for the latter he holds up his fore-finger only and
says ashra rab, Ar. ‘‘I drink.”
The Persians show their hatred of the three Khalifahs

“Arabian Nights ’’ : vide the story of ‘ Ala-Ed-Deen Abu-sh-

It was in this building that Bahr-ul-‘Ulim was born. He
was educated by his father. At the age of seventeen, he
received from his father a sanad of competency. Six months
after this his father died, and, as Bahr-ul-‘Uliim was unworthy
to succeed him, = stg Mulla Kamal-ud-Din was installed as
professor. How Bahr-ul-‘Ulim, with the help of his
cousin, engaged “hi ‘sell in acquiring knowledge. When he

ecame proficient he took the seat of his father, which his
cousin vacated. He began to deliver lectures and compose
books, chiefly on pisleaspiaen subjects. Aca ena an
event happened which forced him to quit Luckno
a controversial discourse, which created bad blood between the
Shi‘asand Sunnis. The ruler of Oudh , Shuja‘-ud-Dawlah, there.
upon ordered his expulsion, and he consequently went to Shah
Jahanptr. ‘Abd Ullah Khan was then its Nawab. He was
received by the Nawab with great honour and dwelt in his city
for some time. But he had to quit this place also, for there
arose an internal feud in the district, and ‘Abd Ullah was
murdered in A.H. 1173 (A.D. 1759). He next proceeded to
the Rampir State where the Nawab Fayz Ullah Khan wel-

rush of students to him was so great that the Nawab w
unable to meet their demands. Bahr-ul-Ulam, being dissatisfied
with the Nawab, left the place.

t this juncture Munshi Sadr-ud-Din of Burdwan, in
Bengal, wrote a letter to Bahr-ul-Uliim from Bohar, expressing
the hope that he would honour the Madrasah in Bohar. Bahr-
ul-‘Uliim accepted the offer and went to Bohar. However,
owing to the machinations of some designing persons, a rupture
took place between the two, and Bahr-ul-‘Uliim proceeded to
Madras. Here he was welcomed by Nawab Wala Jah. He

honour and respect. In Madras he is known as Malik-ul-‘ Ulama,

and the United Provinces he is called Bahr-ul-‘ Ulim, a name
not known to scholars in Southern India. He died on the 12th

95. GoLp CoIns oF SHAMSU-D-DIN MuzAFFAR SHAH, OF
BENGAL.

In 1873 Sir E. C. Bayley ctaneaeie a drawing of a gold
coin of this king.' But at that ould not read the mint
and date and consequently was ‘obliged is discuss the question
of its assignation at length. an were correctly read by

S. L. Poole in his catalogue.” The same scholar also spabpliahiod
the full name of the king sprite. for the first time. Bayley’s
coin remained an unique specimen for a very long time, and

seems to be the only god coin of Muzaffar Shah recorded up to
date. Recently I came across two gold coins of this prince in
Bengal. The first coin paltings to Babi Debi Prasad Marwari,
of Bhagalptr, and was sent to me for examination with the
major part of his collection. It is almost a duplicate of
Bayley’s coin :—

The coin was purchased by the owner at Bhagalpur. The
second coin was found in the ruins of Gaur, and is at present in
the possession of Babi.Krishna Lal Chaudhuri, Zemindar of
Maldah. This coin is an exact duplicate of hay Debi Prasid’s
coin, ea is in a far better state of preservat

hould be noted that the name of Muzaffar Shah differs
on different coins :—

re is unfortunately no trace of a marginal legend on

fabric is distinctly that of Bengal. It was most probably
struck during Tughlaq’s visit to Bengal, when “ the ruler of
Lakhnauti, Sultan Nasiru-d-din, came forth with great respect
to pay homage to the Sultan ”’ (Tarikh-i Firoz Shahi; Elliot
Dawson III, p. 234). This specimen came from the Sonpat
hoard, and was purchased by the British Museum from the
Panjab Archeological Survey in 1889.

Bengal fabric, suggests that the dies may have been engraved
at the Dehli mint, when Muhammad, amid many other tokens of
his esteem for Bahadur Shah, whom he had just restored, agreed
that their names should appear together on the coins.

appears that the actual finders persuaded an acquaintance that
the find was a valuable one, and sold the original hoard to him

included twenty-one specimens of a type of mediaeval currency

99. A Sitver DirHAM OF THE SASSANIAN QUEEN PURAN-

Mr. Maneckjee Rustomjee Sethna of Bombay has kindly
supplied a photograph, and has also given me permission to
publish a description of a rare dirham obtained by him so
recently as last January (1911) in the local baz4r. When at his
request I set to classifying his Sassanian coins, I thought at first
this ne should be attributed to Shirin, the Queen Consort
of Khusrau II (Parviz), _but further examination revealed the

own right reigned over Persia for some sixteen months of the
years A.D. 630 and 631. Superintending, like the kings before
her, the various departments of the State, she _ proof of high
ability to manage ornaeyee affairs. In the exercise of her royal
powers she was not duly capable but a , and was also
generous in rewarding her councillors and provincial Governors
for the services they rendered.

Description of the Dirham.

Date: Racca year o>.
Weight: 61°5 grains.
Diameter: 1°25 inch.

Obverse :—Bust of Queen to right within two dotted circles witha
crown—similar to that of her father Khusrau
but slightly varied—surmounted with wings. Be- |

tween and above the wings a crescent bearing a
small globe. Outside the circles at the extreme
right and left and bottom a crescent with enclosed
star. Jewels encircling the crown, and others
interwoven with long curls reaching to the breasts.
A necklace of two strands. Below the right wing
of the crown a star, and below the left wing @ |
crescent with a star in its bosom. 4
Legend :—To left behind the back of bust (reading from right 4
to left) Pahlavi characters = ws 33"! ‘ increase.’ +
To right, in front of face, Pahlavi characters = by = 7

Reverse :—Within three dotted circles an Atish-dan, Fire recep-
tacle—by European writers commonly called a
Fire-altar - with flames ascending, and at base
two steps, on either side guardian mobeds (Parsee
priests), facing front, and each holding in his two
hands a long sword, point downwards. To right
of flames a crescent, and to left a star.
Legend :—To left, reading from shai der Pahlavi characters =

For the reading (sos! compare the reverse of the coin of
Khusrau I (Naushirwan), given in Dorn’s Collection de Monnaies
Sassanides,’’ Pl. XXII, fig. 1; also for the reading ¢l) see the
Reverse of another coin of that same Kingin Dorn: Pl. XXIV,
fig. 38.

When deciphering this dirham, I was under the impression
that none of Pttran-dukht’s coins had as yet been published :
but in a book-catalogue received from Paris in April last there
is an entry, ‘‘ Monnaies de la reine Sassanide Borén ou Pauran-
dokht ’’ by M. Ed. Drouin, 1893. This monograph I have not
yet seen.

1911.

P.S.—After I had completed the above article my kind
friend Mr. Cawasjee Eduljee Kotwall placed in my hands a
copy, recently sent him from Paris, of the late M. Drouin’s
‘monograph above mentioned. It contains a description of
four of that Queen’s dirhams of the regnal year 1 (mint not
stated), and one dirham of each of the regnal years d 3.
Both of these latter coins are from Yezd Mint, whereas the
dirham described by me issued from the Mint at Ram.
M. Drouin held that the Queen Pirandokht (or as he preferred
to read the name Borandokht) reigned from May 630 till Octo-
ber 631.

Ahdi, can be read as Aioki. Aioki is preferable to Ahdi.

Though it seems impossible to glean from the histories of
the reign of Shah Jahan I a helpful list of synchronisms, still —
the Ilahi date—day and month and year—corresponding to —
each Hijri New Year’s Day of that reign can be readily deter-
mined. One has only to bear in mind that each Ilahi year
consists of 365 days, each ordinary Hijri year of 354, and each
Intercalary Hijri year of 355. In Shah Jahan’s reign the
__ following were the Intercalary years :— :
«1088, 1041, 1044, 1046, 10149, 1052, 1055, 1057, 1060,

The following pee is the last work of a man who

example of this art of quite exceptional merit. We glad
to find that this opinion is shared by Lieut. Dilonal D. C.
Phillott, Ph.D., Secretary to the Board of Examiners. The
first quatrain ! of the kind was written by Nasif al- . who
composed it on the occasion of the accession of H. I. M. Sult

Abdul Aziz in 1861. But the production of that celebrated

But alas! Arabic scholarship has fallen on evil days and
in spite of an occasional outburst of zeal for the revival of

verses been addressed to Sayful-Dawlah, the writer would have
been loaded with riches and honours. Had they been written
on the occasion of the Sultan of Turkey’s accession, the la
of the poet would not have gone unrewarded. But we are
afraid that the absence of proper advice to the Government of
India did not allow the quatrain to reach His Imperial Majesty
the King-Emperor, who, with his unbounded sympathy for the
East, would undoubtedly have bestowed on the talented author
some marks of appreciation of his ingenuity and labour.

Explanation.

The quatrain is divided into three parts. In the first part
(Nur-un bi-niir-in ‘ala-’ l-‘ Arshi-’ stawa, *‘ light has succeed-
ed Light on the Throne! ), the writer announces the accession
of His Majesty, and in so doing happily refers to His late
Majesty, King Edward. The king is represented as the equal
of his father, the highest encomium according to Arab ideas,
and the words are an augury that His Majesty’s reign will be
as happy and glorious as the reign of His late beloved Majesty.
This beginning, in which the subject is at once revealed to the
hearer, is in Arabic the rhetorical figure ( Jj! ds} 53),
but further it contains a quotation from the Qur’an (Chapter
XXV..4), ‘ala’l-’ Arshi’stawa, “settled on the throne,”’
another rhetorical figure ( (~'si3{ ) much admired by Arabian
writers.

In the second part (the remainder of the first line of the
Arabic, but lines 2 and 3 of the English), the nation, in the
person of the writer according to the Arabian poetical ideas, is
invited to draw near and shelter itself under the shadow of the
King’s Majesty. This part, apart from its figurative language,
contains two examples of onomatapceia where the sound re-
sembles the sense ; especially is this so in the words as-sarimy
s-samami ‘‘ the intrepid invincible (king),’’ the sound of
which is sonorous in Arabic.

and _crushes his enemies, to protect his loyal subjects and
staciously repair and forgive their errors. The whole finishes,
\n a striking way, with a prayer for His Majesty’s long life; im

words that emphasize the conclusion, and as such constitutes
the figure of IR rarely well OTE (isd! Ge ), making
the end as effective as the beginn

The second line of the Nabis “he third part) abounds in
figures, both of grammar and rhetoric ; especial mention may
be made of the rhyming or final aliieerition in islam-in‘am,

the antithesis in mur-inha, and the linear word-play in ‘bal
and bj, The whole line is a clever piece of composition in

which imperatives are aoe after the example of al-
Mutanabbi in one of his odes n honour of Sa yfu-’d-Daulah.
Nicholson has considered this kind of composition of sufficient
importance to give the whole of aorta s line, and a full
account of an anecdote connected with i

IV.
The Method of Calculation.

The principal merit of the quatrain is, however, in its
chronogrammatical character. The plan o of calculation is
simple ; the number of years is divided in two, one-ha
allotted for dotted letters and one-half for letters without dots,
in each of the four hemistichs of the quatrain. 8, ess
than twenty-eight sph ograms are formed (vide Table attached),
each giving 1910, the year of accession. ifficulties
such a ane may be gathered from the fact that as
is, perhaps, the first attempt of this nature since Nasif in 1861

wrote his quatrain. Orientals delight to exercise their ingenuity
in such subtleties, and only the difficulty of the operation has
kept poets from making the attempt. In such attempts =
correct use of' words, and even their complete sense, are ofte
sacrificed to the exigencies of the numerical value of the fron
In this example the words, their sound, sense and numerical
value are all exactly what they should be. The —
of course, gives a very poor idea Hh the = The correct

of fact inhabitant of China more clearly indicated than in the

occurrences of each year have been handed down to a

of written speech. or to this, like many other nations in a
similar stage of Ripe the more striking events in the national
history had been mmitted for record to the national bards

attached to the onits of the various petty princes, who then
constituted the hegemony of the Cheos ; and it is characteristic
of that race that notwithstanding profound changes in conditions
and language, many of these ancient ballads are still preserved ,—
an imperfect state, it is true,—yet so as to be not altogether
unintelligible to the modern investigator.

272, and died 231 B.C. He ruled o the entire of Northern
India from the Himalayas to the Kistna, and from Eastern Bengal
to the Helmand. As usualin Asiatic monarchies his descendants

west cut off, declared his independence. He was succeeded on
the throne by a son of the same name, Diodotus II. About
215 B.C. (the exact date seems irrecoverable), one Euthydémus,
represented as a Greek from one of the Magnesias, but who may
have been partially of Getic extraction, ousted Diodotus II and
ascended thethrone. He it was who was instrumental in carrying

time to both combatants for reflection, neither of whom felt dis-
posed to carry it to the bitter end. There was, in fact, a Je ttiog
of kinship between the Macneil Euthydémus and t ace-
donian Antiochus, and the latter began to see the rbacticel
inutility of seeking further conquests, while his home affairs were
still in confusion : a fellow Magnesian happened to be in a high

sovereignty without inviting such an irruption of barbarism
as would swamp the entire East. Against this there was only

Antiochus really lay in strengthening, not weakening its power
to act as a buffer against the encroachments of the advancing
barbarians. Antiochus, who from very similar representations
had concluded peace with canola saw how much truth there
was in the Baktrian argument, and

Euthydémus surrendered a number of war elephants, afforded
the provisions required for the army; and, it is to be presumed,

King.’’ In the final arrangements of the peace Demetrius, the

son of Euthydémus, took part, and made so favourable an impres-
sion on Antiochus that that monarch promised him the hand o
his daughter.

and on the most friendly terms with both Parthia and Baktria,
in the spring, apparently of 205 B.C., Antiochus crossed the

is positively no other evidence available. A hintin Justin (Chap.
xli. 6) that at one time he was besieged by Demetrius, is almost
the only evidence we have that there was a contest for the crown
of Baktria. He was a contemporary, in his later years at least,
of Mithridates I, the great king of Parthia, to whom he lost much
territory, and he succeeded the Greek Euthydémus. One
curious feature of these eastern kingdoms at the period has
never received the consideration at the hands of historians that
it deserved ; and that is the fact that reigning over two or more
separate peoples most of the kings bore duplicate names, as they
addressed themselves to one or other nationality. The Parthian

carried the insurrection into the Panjab, and with his fresh troops

overcame the exhausted levies of Demetrius, who disap from |

born quam prox. 215 B.C., and on the death of Euthydémusin 172,
he being then 43 years old, to have taken advantage of the ab-
sence of Demetrius in the Panjab, to have revolted. The pretext
was almost certainly that in the peace made by Euthydémus
with Antiochus, the former had not only weakened the state by
the present of all the available war elephants, but h .
acknowledged the overlordship of the Seleucidan sovereign.
Demetrius, too, had married the daughter of Antiochus, hence 4

owing to the habit of taking for granted the statements of the
later Chinese compilers, as for instance Ma Twanlin’s ‘‘ Mirror
of History,’’ a work of the thirteenth century, to the neglect of
the originals ; the records of the Han historians have been so
much distorted that very false ideas of their contents have been
accepted as genuine history. The Shi Ki (Record of History),
Ssema T’sien’s great work (Chap. CX), gives a letter sent by the
Shenyu (T’ientse) of the Hiung Nu Turks in the year 178 B.C.
to the Han Emperor Wen Ti, which is worth quoting at length :—
‘* The supreme Shenyii by the Grace of Heaven, to the Hwangti,

used insulting language towards the Right Yen-Wang, which
he bore without rejoinder. More recently it has become a matter
of anxious deliberation between him and Nansse, Marquis of

any communication; while some of the lower officials have
committed breaches of the agreement, and attacking the Right
Yen-Wang have forced him into the western regions, where he
was attacked by the Yuehti.

18. eaven, however, was propitious to our arms; o
forces were well found, our cavalry brave and powerful, dad
in the end we totally defeated the Yuehti, carrying fire and sword
through their lands, and pacifying the country up to Leolan

defeated them ; killing their king, whose skull he converted into

a drinking 42 and forcing the people to flee their country and

between the Tukwei Shui (Surkhab) and the Oxus ; their country
was bounded on the south by districts lately conquered by the
Tokhars, and on the west by Parthian territory. Consequent set
on their defeat at the hands of the Hiung Nu they had emigrated, ;
and passing by Yarkand had attacked the Tokhars and defeated 7
them. They followed the course of the Surkhab, and established <
their royal residence on its northern bank, apparently at Gharm, “3
which we shall meet subsequently. As the defeat of the Yuehti a
had happened at the hands of the great Shenyti Maotun, and 4
Maotun died in the 10th Moon of 179 B.C., these events must
have occurred in the winter of 180-179. The date is important.
21. Now Tokhars, Yuehti, and Wusuns, we have the author-
ity of the Han historians for stating, spoke the same language,
only dialectically different, and were mutually intelligible. To
them, though not specially mentioned, we may add the (H)Ukrits,
whom we must identify with the Sakarauli, really aka(r)-
aegli, so that we can at once appreciate the position before the a
amalgamation of the five petty states resulted in the formation ee
of the Kushan kingdom. aa
22. The king Euthydémus with whom Antiochus HI
entered into the treaty, must, then, have been the last of the
Greek line of the kings of Baktria, and associated with hin,
according to the plain reading of the Greek accounts, was his son
Demetrius, whom he subsequently placed in charge with regal
rank of the provinces acquired from India in the Panjab. m
the above description of the position by the contemporary Chinese
historians we can readily comprehend the wisdom of his advice
to Antiochus, that it would be expedient to make terms, rather
than bring on himself the hostility of the Yuehti and their as
sociates. Eventually it happened that the destruction of the
Greek kingdom came from Eukratidas, hitherto cl ae

24. Notwithstanding the death of his father the affairs of the
Baktrian kingdom show little amelioration, Mithridates of Parthia
attacked it, and of the districts big weno from it formed two new
provinces, Turiwa and Aspidnus,' while the northern frontagers
also showed signs of longing for the fertile districts of Baktria
itself. At first Eukratidas had been successful in the war

conquests in the Panjab: we find Strabo, quoting from the
Parthian history of Apollodorus, asserting, indeed, that Eukrati-
das had a thousand cities subject to his authority, but this very
extension of his rule to the south of the Paropanisus was a
source of weakness at home, and must have contributed to his
eventual fall.
25. The T’ sien Han Shu® gives us some interesting bel
culars of the distribution of the Getic tribes immediately afte
their immigration into these regions.—After their seni at the
hands of the Shenyii Maotun, they had passed by Tayuen
(Yarkand), and going west had encountered the Tahia (Tokhars),
whom they had subjected. Here the new arrivals more or less
amalgamated ; at all events, they are described as ae under
five Ling-heo, a term which we may render. by Margr: These
Margravates were:—(1) Hiumi, big oon we may “dentify with
Harm or Gharm on the Surkhab ; (2) Shwangmet, Samar-kand ?;
(3) Kweishwang or Kweisiang, ‘Kesh-wara, t.e., Kushan; (4)
Ya(t)t’un, Vasdhatd , Ferghana ?; (5) Kaofu, Kabul,—in the Heo
Han Shu the last is more correctly named T'umi(t), i.e., D.
They were distinctly territorial divisions rather than tribal ;
but ieiiiagh the people all belonged to the same stock there was
evidently much internecine jealousy. The most powerful of the
states, that of the Yuehti, could, according to the 7’ sien Han
Shu, turn out at least 100,000 bowmen, so that they were by no
means insignificant antagonists that had ve be faced by the suc-

himself as ruler, assuming the title of Kweishwang Wang (Kesh-

sequently he made war on Parthia and wrested from it the terri-
tory of Kaofu, annexing also Pu(k)ta (Peukelaotis) and Kipien
(Kophéné, the valley of the Kophes). Having established his
rule over these lands, K’iutsaufu died at the age of crust eighty.
His son Ch’imkao Chantai succeeded him on the throne ; he after-
wards annexed northern India, placing it under the rule of a single
officer as Viceroy. From this period these newly annexed districts
came to bear the (official) title of the Fusheng (Parashawar)
Dependency. The entire was known as the Kushan Kingdom,
the equivalent of what was originally called by the Chinese
Greater Yuehti
24. The only doubtful factor here is the name of the
king, written in Chinese af 7% S. Here the two first charac-
ters stand for Gi-tul; the third is more doubtful. As written
it would have the force or etal the last letter not having
been actually sounded in northern China at the time of the later
Hans. Iam, however, rather disposed to think that the character
really intended was k’ii(t) ot k’ wu(t) Aili. where the old initial
was g or /, rather more inclined to the latter. I have rendered it
as a —— for final f. The name, practically certainly, was
Ga-tulf. Now Yule ger heapint “i Wood’s Journey to the

He, however, makes a mistake in suggesting that Kadphises is
only a title, a mistake which shows how carefully he has
weighed the evidence; it will be seen that the word used gener-
ally in connection with the name Kadphises, namely Kanishka,
is really the title.

Much of the evidence usually quoted with regard to
the Kushan Kingdom has been drawn from coins, and coins as
contemporary evidence are of the highest value. More than

ther human documents their evidence has to be read with
caution, largely on account of the necessarily condensed or
abbreviated character of the inscriptions rendering the meaning
doubtful, even when the lettering is distinct. The early Kushan
coins are acasein point. As originally read, the inscription on the
most important of these coins was as follows, in Greek letters : —
PAONANOPAOKOPANO or PAONANOPAOKANHPKI-
KOPANO, and as the Yuehti were presumed to be a Turkish
people, the language was supposed to be some as yet unnoticed
form of Turki. Further investigations showed that the letter

but still under the mistaken presumption that they were dealing
with Turkish tribes little could be discovered. As shown above,
the presumption rather was that these inscriptions would be
Greek or Getic, but little was to be got from either. The name
Kushan applied to the country of the invaders, however , reason-
ably supplies a meaning for the last part of the legend as an ad-
jectival form of Kushan, and naturally then there would be along-
side it some word denoting king or kingdom. Unfortunately there
existed a very late (13th century) work called the Raja Gandhary4,
and this work spoke of three brothers—Kanishka, Hushka, and
Jushka—having occupied in succession the Indo-Skythian throne.

31. The coins are excessively rude, and the only variation
from the accepted reading asked for is to read no as m, whic
looking at the papi of the coins is quite feasible. Cun-
ningham (l.c a title may have been taken for a proper

name, and cots that Kadiphes is the title ; the surmise is cor-
rect, but he has transposed name and title: Kaneshka was the
title, and A thename. Now Kadiphes, as he tells us, rasint

‘* Good Goer,’ ’> and here at once we have a clue : Good-goer i in
Getic speech may be rendered as Godhlef, a near approach to
the Chinese. More likely the word was really Geat-hlef, a charac-
teristic personal name amongst these forerunners of the ths ;
the Chinese author looking for a meaning easily taking it for Good-
goer.

32. But we get other legends in connection with this Kadi-
phes or Kadphises ; one has been read as Kozoulo Kadphises ;
not having a photograph it is impossible to speak with certainty,
but it seems most probable that the form Koshano Kadphises was
really inten ermaeus occurs on the other face, which may
imply that Geathlef temporarily adopted that name. Another
legend, read Hima, or Hoema Kadphises, requires, however, fur-
ther explanation. Geathlef, as we may assume his name to have
been, we have seen, conquered the other four margravates, and
one of these was Hium mi, 7.e. Gharm. Nowthese coins are allowed
to be early, before the crossing in fact of the Hindu Kush, so that
Geathlef may have called himself of Kushan or of Gharm as he
issued the coins in one or other principality. e fact does not
seem of importance, and is quite reconcilable with what we
otherwise know.

33. One fact of importance, however, we learn from the
Chinese story above given. Geathlef lived to old age, the Heo
Han Shu says about eighty, the authority quoted by Cunningham
says eighty-four. When he died he left the kingdom to his ive

whom the Chinese author, going as close to the sound as Chin
conga calls Ch’imkao Chantai, where the tai is in the lower ree
series, implying that the first letter was d. We c an have no
hesitation in identifying this with Sanscrit Jambaka Chisidiens As
Pp efore, these sovereigns had usually at least twonames
as addresdedd by subjects of one or other nationality ; his Getic
name, in this case not mentioned, was probably Geathlef, the
same as his father’s. With the assistance of the Chinese we can
begin to form a rough chronology. If Geathlef annexed the other
four margravates in 79 B.C. we may apy
of Kophéné and Gandhara as having occurred in 76. If he died
in 25, he would apparently have been born in approximately
190 B. C.,so that at his conquest of the four margravates he would

have been 30 years of age. His son Geathlef IT would -

conve Kophéné, we must, to understand the position, review
w of the main facts of Parthian history. 1e very name of
Parthian, in Greek called -zapé@vaia, as Justin reminds us,

the Peloponnesus. More like the former than the latter ; while
both reduced the native inhabitants to a state bordering on
servitude, and deprived them of all the privileges of freemen,
the Parthians did not further abuse their position, and freely
admitted the unfree to all positions of trust, and even enrolled
them in their army, which was in fact mainly composed of the
subject races. As a territorial appellation Parthia never had
any existence, and never was dissociated from Hyrkania. Even
its capital (Greek Hekatompylos, seemingly in old Persian
Cataraochana) appeared in its duplicate form as the Parthian
Hundrakerta, the Greek Zadrakarta ; which must not, as errone-
ously su pposed, be rendered as implying a second city, the names
being simply the Parthian or Bet denominations respec.
tively.

. Under its great king Mithridates I Parthia aimed at
the conquest of the East, and Mithridates made war on Baktria,
then under the rule of a king called by the Greeks Heliokles,
son of Eukratidas, but whose real name was seemingly Azilises
or Spalirises (Capal-isca, i.e., Gabal-isca). The result of the war

was the defeat of Baktria and the annexation of two previnces,

as distasteful, doubtless, as Demetrius II of Syria found it in

well to remember that it was only when he had Sodahod the heart

the north-east by the usurper known as Eukratidas, Demetrius
had to leave his Panjab dominion unprotected, with the result
of the further advance of the Parthian forces, which seem to
have reached as far as Thanesar. The Chinese author of the
Heo Han Shu speaks rather contemptuously of the kingdom of
Magadha under Buddhist rule:—The Svabhavika sect (of
Buddhists) forbid killing in either offence or defence, and the
Yuehti had an easy task in occupying the land. According
to the author, on the S.W. T’iencho (Northern India) reaches
the western sea, and on the east it extends to P’wank’i (seem-
ingly an early mention of Bengal). Eukratidas succeeded in
making himself master of what remained of Baktria, and passed
it on to his son, cir. 140 B.C. The son, who, according to
Justin (xli), had had his father. whom he conceived too old, done
to death—an ordinary occurrence amongst these Getic sovereigns,
—was no more successful, and lost, Strabo says, to Parthia, bu
more likely to the advancing Kushan power his northern
provinces. This seems to have been the last record of the once
promising Greko-Baktrian kingdom, of which we hear nothing
after Heliokles. ‘
39 e only two powers then left in Northern India to
continue the struggle were Kushan under the strong rule of the
Geathlefs, and Kophéné and Gandhara, with their dependencies
still administered by Parthia under satraps almost regal, of
which in their coins we find abundant evidence. Phraates, the —
Parthian king who succeeded Mithridates, had to take up arms
against the Skythic tribes in the extreme north-east, and was
killed in battle B.C. 128-127. He was succeeded by an uncle,

emphasizes the fact of the reigns of the two Kadphises having
been of peace and recuperation. The hill tribes on

44. From records, which if not contemporary are of ven
early date, we can gather that the second Geathlef, whose name
we may modernize as Guthlaf, was succeeded by a monarca
bearing the unmistakably, even in its Greek form, Getic na
of Gondophares, i.e. Gundoberht. The name is as unmistaka
Getic as that mentioned by Menander of Katulphus. Here
may quote at some length the apocryphal acts of S. Tho
which with ‘their evidently undesigned coincidences, tho
in no way historical, may be accepted as throwing light on t
circumstances of the time. Gundobert, succeeding to a settle

Western India at the time was Baragaza (Barooch) on the Ba
of Cambay, and Ba aragaza was at the period under the govern-
ment of the ‘** Saka ’’ dynasty of Sindh, whose capital was at
Sagala, which we must from the description in the Periplus
of the Erythrian sea identify with modern Sukkur on the Indus.
Sandaruk was plainly then but the Greek merchants’ way of
pronouncing Sindhu-rajya, which in its turn meant simply the
kingdom of Sindh.

45. Here they were received honourably, and the two were
invited to take part in the festivities attending the marriage
: the Rajah’s daughter. The two adjoining states of Sindhu

ushan were at peace, so that this happened before the
surtabene of the war wherein Salivahan defeated the ‘‘ Indo-
Skyths *’ in the great battle of Kahror, which gave rise to the
Sakan Era beginning with 79 A.D. The Rajah afterwards
assisted Thomas on his way to the court of King Gondophares,
so that we have good grounds for concluding that Gundobert
was alive between the years 45 re 60 A.D. We thus obtain a
sequence of three sovereigns extending from B.C. 79 to A.D.
55-60, of whom we know that the first lived to extreme old age,
a case not altogether unexampled.

46. The evidence of coins has, however, been interpreted
as indicating another king with the somewhat questionsble
name of Vasu Deva. Wilson in Ariana Antiqua describes a
gold coin on which was the first portion a hs similar legend,
Shaonano-shao, as above interpreted. The r portion was,

the occurrence of a Sanscrit alongside a Getic name need not of
itself excite any surprise, but in this case this does not seem to
be the true explanation. Mr. E. Thomas (in the Journal R. A. S.,
vol. ix, 1, 1876) gives an inscription in the Indo-Pali alphabet
found at othe which he reads :—Mahdraja Ka
Gushana, Vasu samvardhaka ; and translates :—‘‘ The Maharaja
Kanes hka, ati of the Dominion of the Gushans.’’ The

of Shahs, Widener of Dominion, *? for both of which titles, the
former contracted to mere Shahi, we have the authority of the
inscriptions quoted by Mr. Thomas. The date given for this
inscription is Samvat 18 ; and if we regard this as intended for
SEL. 218, we must refer it to B.C. 94, which does not agree with
our calculations founded on the nearly contemporary Chinese
accounts. If, however, we take the Era of Vikramaditya,
B.C. 57, we obtain for the date B.C. 39, which we shall see per-
fectly harmonizes with our other dates, falling within the reign
of Kadphises (Guthlaf) I, who might fairly claim the title of
Vasu-Vardhana. As the inscription comes from Mathura, we
can recognize the propriety of adding the Sanscrit title to the
older one of Kaneshka Koshano

58. About the beginning of the third century B.C. the_
contentions of the ‘‘ Successors ’’ in Western Asia had deprived
the eastern portions of Alexander’s empire of all guidance from
head-quarters, and naturally left to themselves, a powerful —
centrifugal tendency was engendered. India was the first to
assert its independence, but the others shortly followed, and
about 256 B.C. we find Parthia and Baktria disowning their
allegiance. Both these populations were largely Getic ; Parthia,
indeed, in a great measure belonging to the ‘* Hoch’’ or Germanic

supersession about 215 B.C. by one Euthydémus, who apparently
had some claim to Greek, if not Macedonian nationality ; and it 1s
curious to find him when upbraided with having fallen off from
his allegiance, pleading that it was not against his Syrian liege
that he had re , but against Diodotus, the real offender
he having really brought back the kingdom under Greek rule.
He did more, for, as Strabo (XI. xi. 1) informs us, he and his son
Demetrius conquered more nations than Alexander, and these |
conquests were achieved ‘‘ partly by Menander, and partly °Y-
Jemetrius, son of Euthydemus’’; they got hold of, in fact not
only Pattalene (Patala in Sindh) but of the kingdoms of Sarat iS
and Sigerdis (apparently Sagara and Kach) which constitute -
the remainder of the coast. The important fact here )8-

and this seems to throw light on what has hitherto been one of
the most obscure points of history. Eukratidas, as we have seen,
fol. 12, had been successful against Demetrius in the Panjab,
and had occupied the land in force ; we have no further record
what occurred to Datoekrisie unless, indeed, the Plato, a coin
whose is represented by Mr. Thomas (R.AS. IX, n. 8., 5)
shila have been his son. He x apie in all probability have been
driven south, and not impossibly was the peace of the Caka
line of kings. If so, the still siyeikious ** Greek ’” king Menander

in this connection more especially interesting ; it is distinctly

k in conception and execution, and of a far higher type of
art than those of the other monarchs. According to Mr. Thomas,
quoting Herodotus, the ornamentation of the helmet on the coin
is Chabylian, and it is difficult to account for this unless it were
that Euthydémus, though born at Magnesia, should have been
of Chabylian ancestry, a by no means impossible, or even un-
likely, contingency. Demetrius had been betrothed to the
daughter of Antiochus, and Plato may have been her son, and
so crdaahe up in ac accordance ier Grecian mesh and the die
was doubtless obtained direct from Gree On his accession
Eukratidas probably made a at ee aiiiok before Plato had
had time to collect his forces. It is consonant with such a view
that Eukratidas would have utilized the newly-made die, prob-
ably before any coins had been regularly issued. we have
seen, Eukratidas was himself dispossessed of these regions
very shortly after by the Parthian attack, which would have
forced the Greek kings further south. Menander is always
represented in tradition as a Yonaka

55. We can thus begin to comprehend the part taken by
these (aka kings: When after crossing the Hindu Kush King
Guthlaf, with his Yuehti, fell on the Parthian rulers of Ko-
phéné and Gandhara, and so became the Saviour of Northern
India, Menander, advancing from the south, attacked the
Parthian satraps in Sindh. Like Guthlaf, he too became the
Just, Arcos, Dharmika, the Sétér. If Demetrius had advanced
to the Jumna and had annexed the entire of the Panjab, and a
good part of Northern India, to the lot of Menander fell
Sindhu, Malava, Ujain, an and Mathura, so that Strabo was per-
fectly justified in his statement that both had conquered more of
India than Alexander himself. The dynasty did not long, in
externals at least, preserve its Greek character, and we find

everywhere received as saviours, and Guthlaf and his two able
successors were able to found the powerful Empire of the Kushans,
known to history as the Indo-Skythic Empire, with the ap-
proval of the subject races. In memory of the annexation
of the Panjab, rulers and people established B.C. 57 the Vikrama-

from Parthian oppression still survives amongst the people of
the Panjab.

64. Buddhism, which the example of King Agoka had
endeared to the people of Northern India, was the prevalent
religion of the land, and Guthlaf and his two immediate successors
frankly accepted the fact, and became munificent supporters
of the Order, which throughout their dominions they richly
endowed. The Buddhism of Kadphises (Guthlaf) was, however,

history of the age. Though Gautama (Vakyamuni) was himself
of northern type, his surroundings had been so distinctly Indian

greatest of evils. The highest aim of humanity was actual and
absolute extinction, and towards this end must r

even in this life, the sense of separate existence, the delusion of
self, and the lust of life.

65. At the very antipodes of this nihilistic creed was the
new doctrine preached by the apostles of the Mahayana, Nagar-
juna, Aryadeva, and, last but not least, Acvaghosha ; and there
is no reason to doubt that at the bottom of the change was the
intellectual movement brought about by the presence of the
northern invaders. Gautama, himself descended from Getic

philosophy, influenced scarcely at all his religious practice,
which was that of a strenuous activity; wherein the nature
of the individual, and not the acquired merit of countless
previous existences, as taught in his philosophy, was all through
the prevailing motive.

66. It is quite in the nature of things that Gautama himself
never perceived the contradiction, but by degrees the fact forced
itself on the notice of the disciples. Even with the Buddhism
of Acoka, the rebellion against the soul-deadening doctrine of

54. Oaths and Ordeals of the Geharas (Kanjars) of the
Delhi District.

By W. KirKPATRICK.

In a paper on the Folk-song and Folk-lore! of these people,
Maharani Daya, the Great Queen Mother, is mentioned as
their supreme deity, her male counterpart being Khetrpal.
Khetrpal, whose special sanctuary is said to be “‘ near Calcutta,’
is invoked when an oath is made to someone outside the
tribe, when in fact it is premeditated that the asservation shall
not be binding. Within the tribe Khetrpal is sometimes con-

Hinduism, will account for Khetrpal’s name being put to the
inglorious use of franking counterfeit oaths.

‘“‘ Maharani !’’ is, on the other hand, the most binding
oath known to the Geharas, and I believe to all Ka anjars.
Curiously it is also used eae as the strongest possible

oath in the sense of a ‘swear word.’’ In a quarrel, the worst
abuse or the greatest curse one Gehara will hurl at another
is ‘‘ Maharani!’’ u a sneering tone indicative of great

disgust. Maharani saa! is the full title of the goddess
‘“‘Qh! Mother Great Queen, >? and besides Maharani the ex-
pression Daya by itself is used to indicate extreme annoyance.
Maharani and Daya are both used in very much the same
way as the name of the Deity is resorted to in English

blasphemy.
The Kanjar will also swear by his pote or spear. The

the next time this particular sahib went out shooting he took
Sowdagir with him as head shikari. Kallu wanted reparation
for what he described as Sowdagir’s uncommunal conduct.
The Panch decided that the matter was one for appeal to
Trial by ordeal and that each side was to deposit Rs. 5, which
would be divided among the Panch, to be utilized in providing

which, seeing that those people are most of them ant divers
and swi mmers, is often the case, the two have again to duck,
aaa the one who can keep below water longest is adjudged
the winner. The two spear-heads which remain sticking up
are taken as an indication that both parties are playing fair,
and are not swimming about or punching or kicking eac

55: The Belkhara Inscription and the Machlishahr
rant of Haris-Candra.

By Rakuat Das Banerst, M.A., Indian Museum, Calcutta.

Fifteen es to the south of the railway station of
Ahraura Road on the Fast Indian Railway, and about two
miles from the saad town of Ahraura, in the Mirzapur District
of the United Provinces, a small pillar of stone was lying on
the ground even so late as 1906. There are two small inscrip-
tions on the shaft of the sina and a small image of Ganeéga in
relief at the bottom of the shaft. These were brought to public
notice by the late Sir Alexander Cunningham, then Director-
General of Archaeology in India.' Very little notice was taken
of them until lately, i.e. till the discovery of the sparen
grant of Haris- pier ot of Kan nauj. When I w. was exam

On my favtirn journey from Lucknow, I paid a visit to Belkhara
and found the pillar lying on the ground. During the working
season of 1910-1911, I had the opportunity of examining the

pillar has very nearly disappeared, and at the same time it is of
very little importance as it does not seem to contain any date or
name worth mentioning. The characters belong to the thirteenth
or fourteenth century type of the Eastern variety of the North-
ern alphabet. On my second visit to the place I found that
the pillar has been set up on a short masonry pedestal, evidently
at the suggestion of Dr. J. Ph. Vogel of the Archaeological Survey,
who was the first to mention the connection between the pillar
inscription and the Machlishahr grant. 2 T learnt from the local

In the main, the account given in the ‘‘ Taj-ul-Ma’asir ”’ has
been followed by the later Muhammadan historians. Qutb-ud-
din Aibak proceeded against Rai Jai-chand, the very next year
after the capture of Delhi, and on the way he was joined by
Sultan Shihab-ud-din. The invading army numbered about
fifty thousand horse. Qutb-ud-din was placed by the Sultan

as a sandy plain. In the fight Rai Jai-chand was slain while
directing the movements of his troops from the back o

elephant, = the fight practically ended with the death of the
king. The rest of the facts are not important. The defeat of
the Kanauj ormy was followed by the sack of the important
fort of Asni, in which the royal treasure was kept. The vic-
torious army marched on to the sacred city of Benares, which

Viharas and monasteries of Sarnath was probably completed

Mahmid of Ghazni. The for t of Asni was an ancient strong-
hold of the kingdom of Kanauj. It was a place of oe im-
portance even in the time of the Pratihara-Gurjara empire.
One of the pillars in the ancient fort still bears a long inscrip-
tion of Mahipala.* No mention is made in fliers account of the
Muhammadan historians of the fate of the Royal family or the
sons of the deceased king. After the fall of Prthviraje, the

bodies. The king was recognized by his false teeth, which were

to be found closely following the statements of Mr. Smith.
But there is nothing in the writings of the contemporary
Muhammadan historians to warrant such a statement. Elliot’s
summary of the contents of the Taj-ul-Ma’agir is one of the
very best and there is no mention of the capture or sack of
Kanauj in the account of the year 589 or 590 au. Neither
the Kamil-ut-tawarikh nor the Tabaqat-i-Nasiri contain any-
thing about the capture of Kanauj. Consequently it must be
admitted that if any later Muhammadan historian has stated
that the City of Kanauj was captured and sacked in the year
589 a.u., he has taken for granted that the death of Raia
Jaya-candra must have been followed by the occupation of the
capital. There is very little evidence to show that the City of
eee was captured during the lifetime of Sultan Shihab-ud-

n of Ghar or Malik Qutb-ud-din ; but of this we shall hear
a on

The discovery of the Machlishahr grant opened a new
page in the history of the Gahadavala Empire. It proved at
once that the statements of the Muhammadans, though not
false, yet were incomplete. Thus the same au uthor, Hasan
Nizami, gives a complete account of the subjugation of the
cities of Delhi and Ajmer, but as we now see, fails to do so
in the case of Kanauj. In Elliot’s summary, we find a frank
statement of the rebellion of Hiraj or Hemraj, the fuer ba of the

pea of Ajmer. The steps taken to subdue him are more fully

~ recorded below (see Elliot, vol. ii, pp. 219 and 225). So now
we come to understand that the Gahadavala dynasty did not
come to an end with the death of Jaya-candra on the field of
Chandawar. His son Haris-candra succeeded to at least part
of his dominions. i titles were the same as those of his
father and grandfather :—

to the Conquerors as they could. The boy king was just
eighteen years old at the time of the death of his father, and
at this tender age he was called upon to face an enemy whose
record showed hardly any reverses, and who had at that time
the resources of the kingdoms of Kanauj and Delhi at his
command, as they had looted both treasuries. The statements
of the Muhammadan historians make it clear that Sultan
Shihab-ud-din occupied the country to the south of the Jin
or Yamuna and a considerable part of the Antarvedi or
Ganges-Jumna Doab. We have decisive proof of the fact that
Kanauj was not taken or thoroughly occupied at this time. But
of this we shall have to speak later on. The second important
fact brought to light by the Machlishahr grant is that the son
of Jayacandra did not lose his throne within a short time but
continued to wield sufficient power so as to be able to grant a
village in perpetuity to a man six years after his father’s death.
The date of the Machlishahr grant is given both in words and
in figures :—

change is not quite apparent as there is room enough at the
bottom of the inscription for a postscriptum. The only ex-
planation seems to be that the thing had to be and was done in
a hurry. The day and the month were not changed and conse-
quently the new date does not work out satisfactorily. I am
indebted to Pandit Hirananda Siastri for the calculation that
the Pausa purnima of the Vikrama year 1257 does not fall on a
Sunday. The Belkhara inscription is dated in the year 1253
of the same era and the last symbol of that inscription has no
resemblance to the last one of this grant. I am correct
then it becomes certain that King Haris-candra continued
to reign up to the year a.p. 1200.

The Belkhara inscription is dated in the year 1253 of the
Vikrama era and the date corresponds exactly = Seriearnesl the

Conquest of Bengal took place in the very first years of the
twelfth century a.p.’’ The date in the Belkhara inscription
differs from that of colophon in three points :—

(1) The inscription begins with the word ‘‘ Paramabhattara-
ketyadi”’ instead of ‘‘ Paramesvaretyadi.’’ But this difference
is trifling, as beginnings of titles may differ in different
dynasties.

(2) The name of the king is not definitely mentioned in
the Belkhara inscription, as we have that of Govindapala in
the colophon of the MS. of Paficakara.

the centre of his Government at Kanauj. The subjugation of

Taj-ul-Ma’asir. As for the Taj-ul-Ma’asir, Elliot’s summar
does not contain anything about the reduction of the city of
Kanauj. The principal incidents of the war with the king of
Kanauj are :—
(1) The battle of Chandawar and the death of Jaichand,
(2) the capture of the fort of Asni,
3) the sack of Benares,
and (4) the reduction of the stronghold of Koil or Kol.

There is no mention of the city of Kanauj, nor of the
kingdom. In fact the King Jayacandra is called throughout
the work, ‘‘the Rai Benares.’’® The account of the
Tabaqat-i-Nasiri is very meagre. It consists of three parts :—.

account of the events of the rule of Sultan Qutb-ud-din, Ibak,
consists of: <* .... and, in the year 590 H., Kutb-ud-din

upon the Rae of Banaras, Jai-Chand, on the confines of

So we find that the Taj-ul-Ma’asir does not contain even -
the name of Kanauj. In the Tabaqat-i-Nasiri, Sultan Muham-

Uddandapura-Vihara as we find in one of the inscriptions of

mi

victories of Sultan Shams-ud-din Altamsh, we find the reduc-
tion of Kanauj expressly mentioned :—

Malik Kutb-ud-din, Ibak.’’

—p. 628, note 2.

But I believe Major Raverty could not grasp the purport
of these double mentions properly. There are two different
ways in which this can be explained :

(1) The city of Kanauj was taken by Sultan Muhammad
bin Sam after the battle of Chandawar, but subsequently fell
into the hands of the Hindus, and so had to be re-conquered
by Altamsh ; or

(2) only the kingdom of Kanauj was partly conquered by
Muhammad bin Sam, the reduction of the city being effected

the list of Shamsi victories, Shergarh being the special honorific

Islam Shah,! but its mention in the Tabaqat-i-Nasiri makes it
much older. It is more probable that Maulana Minhajuddin
meant the kingdom and not the city of Kanauj when he wrote
that the Sultan started towards Kanauj and Benares. e
trouble was going on in the newly conquered kingdom, and it is
evident even from the Tabagqat-i-Nasiri ; thus we have at the

beginning: ‘‘ Badaun, Banaras and the defeat of Rae Man’’

a coin struck to commemorate the reduction of the city. In
1881, Dr. Hoernle published the coin for the first time.! and he
read the marginal legend containing the mint-name as :—

Later, in 1907, the Hon. Mr. H. Nelson Wright, in his
Catalogue of Coins in the Indian Museum, gives the reading of
the marginal legend of this coin as :—

The marginal legend of this coin taken by itself shows _
that Mr. Wright’s reading is the correct one, but the legend
should be compared with that of another one, a coin of the
Bengal Sultan Mughisuddin Yuzbak, whose coin also was pub-
lished by Dr. Hoernle at the same time.? On comparison it
appears certain that what has been read by Mr. Wright as
zs is really the name of a place and the second name
beginning with ‘‘Ko” seems to be Gwaliyar or Gwalior.
I have examined the coin repeatedly during the last three
years, and I am almost convinced that the second name ought
to be read as ‘‘ Gwaliyir.’’ There are three dots over the first

otherwise the date of the taking of Kanauj like that of N Ediah

Kanauj was taken some time during the reign of Altamsh, i.e.
between a.H. 607—633 = a.p. 1210-—i235. It is more probable
that the actual conquest took place in the year a.H. 623 = A.D
1226, when Malik Nasir-ud-din Mahmiid was placed in charge
of the province of Oudh and when Bartu or Britu was over-
thrown. It coincides with the date of the evacuation of the
Upper provinces by Seoji and Saitaéram, as recorded in the
Bardic chronicles. In a couplet quoted by Cunningham on
the authority of Mukji the Bard of the Khichi Chauhans, the
date of the migration is Vikrama Samvat 1283=a.D. 1226=
A.H. 623.

56. Contribution to our knowledge of Indian Earwigs.

By Matcotm Burr, D.Sc., M.A., F.ES., &c.

Since the publication of the half volume on Dermaptera in
the Fauna of British India series, substantial additions have
been made to our knowledge; the classification has been re-
vised, and in the following pages, sixteen species are added to
the list, of which eleven are new to science: several of the
others have been described since the appearance of the half
volume in question, and two or three genera are added to the
Indian list, and several imperfectly known species are here dealt
with more fully.

The Pygidicranidae are enriched by the inclusion among
them of the Hchinosomatinae, and also some Ethiopian and
Neotropical subfamilies.

The Labiduridae are not much affected, except by the
removal of the Echinosomatinae.

The Labiidae have been profoundly altered by an outline
revision published by me in the Deutsche Entomologische
National-Bibliothek, No. 8, pp. 58-61 (1911) : the new arrange-
ment is referred to below.

The Chelisochinae are given the rank of a family, but other-
wise are not much altered.

The Forficulidae are altogether recast: the subfamilies
- represented in India are as follows :— —

Anechurinae, in which the doubtful genus Lipodes is pro-
visionally ranged: Homotages is removed to the Forficulinae
which is enriched by several other non-Indian genera, several

p- dis :
With reference to the food and habits of earwigs, it is
interesting to quote an extract from a letter from Dr. Annan-
dale :—

‘“The giant stinging-nettle of the Himalayas (Girardinia
heterophyla, Decne.) is, when in flower, extraordinarily attrac-
tive to many species of earwigs. I have not seen specimens of
the group in such variety elsewhere as I did on the inflores-
cence of this plant at Bhim Tal in Kumaon in September,
1906. The fruit had already begun to form, and representa-
tives of the following species were greedily devouring the un-
ripe seeds :—

Diplatys siva, Forcipula trispinosa, Allodahlia macropyg4,
A. coriacea, Forficula planicollis, and Eudohrnia metallica.

Apparently the plant possesses no attraction for earwigs
except when in this condition, for I have often examined it at

nit
Concerning Diplatys gladiator Mr. Gravely writes: ‘* This

May-fly is sufficient to send the Diplatys rushing wildly off again,
I doubt whether the latter ever captures really healthy flies.”’
Dr. Annandale has recently taken specimens of both
Labidura riparia and L. bengalensis under stones betweet
tide-marks on the shore of the Chilka Lake in N. B. Madras.

p. 31.

The classification of the earwigs has undergone a radical
change owing to the appearance of Zacher's book, and the wor
1s not yet complete. The system is based upon the structure
of the opisthomeres, that is to say, the pygidium and its ap
pendages, upon the venation of the wings, and upon the strue
ture of the genitalia ;

Aion forms, in which the apical chitinised portion of the
penis, the parameres, are slender and narrow, with no tee
for the oriental species, and consequently for all the Todisn
species included by me in Pygidicrana, he erects the new genus
Kalocrania, with K. marmorirura as its type. Therefore,
for the six hitherto-known Indian species, together with the
following, the generic name Kalocrania, Zacher, replaces Pygidi-
crana, Serville.

Father Astruc found a short-winged variety common in
the Madura District. He writes me that ‘‘ they live under the
bark of trees, chiefly where some accidental wo ad.

somewhat oblong, ‘attached by the thinner extremity and set
in some order.’? Father Astruc also found one apparently
about to attack a female of a large Aftacus atlas, which he
had pinned to a tree to attract males.

Subfamily ALLOSTETHINAE.

This subfamily includes a few species of powerfully built,
dark-coloured earwigs, only known from the Oriental Region.

It is characterized by the form of the sternal plates ; both
the prosternum and mesosternum being sharply pointed pos-
teriorly ; the second tarsal segment has a tufted lobe, some-
what resembling that of the Chelisochidae.

Three genera are known, and as they may in time all be
discovered in India, and still more probably in Burma, we
give the following table of genera :—

The genus Allostethus includes the well-known Malayan ear-
wig formerly known as Psalis indica, Hagenb. : it is a powerful,
dark-coloured,. usually fully-winged species, sometimes with an
ill-defined yellowish spot on the elytra. It may be discovered
i a, whence I have seen a distinctly Allostethid, but
indeterminable, young larva. Allosthetella, Zacher, contains
a Malayan species, which resembles the above and its allies,
but is much smaller.

The genus Hypurgus, Burr, is now split, since H. simplex,
Borm., and H. biroi, Burr (New Guinea), are not congeneric with
H. humeralis, the type of Hypurgus. They differ in the long,
and slender antennal segments, which are those of a true
opisthocosmiid, while the antennae of Hypurgus humeralis are
short, as in the Forficulinae.

new genus has therefore been erected for H. simplex and
H. birot: this is :—

In a review of the monograph of the Indian Earwigs

ing it provisionally in Erotesis, near to E. decipiens, but. the
presence of the keel on the elytra demands a new genus, if it
is at all related to this group. :

The following is a translation of Zacher’s redescription of
this species :—

57. References to Indian Mathematics in certain
Medieval Works.

By G. R. Kaye.

i,

In certain medieval works on mathematics and kindred
subjects there are curious references to Indian sources which
have possibly led to misunderstandings as to the part played

indu scholars in the domain of mathematics.

Such references may be roughly divided into three classes :
viz. (1) those that attribute to an Indian source a general
system of some branch of mathematics ; (2) those that refer

by Ibn Sina, Ibn el-Benna and Jordanus; while of the third
are statements by el-Qalasadi, el-Mahalli and others besides
statements in the works of Planudes, and Leonard of Pisa
already mentioned.!

Il.

A detailed examination of the particular instances cited
brings to light some very curious facts and at the same time
shows that the term ‘ Indian’ was often incorrectly applied.

To those familiar with the old Hindu mathematical works
a casual inspection of the works of Muhamm . Musa,
Meximus Planudes and Leonardo Fibonacci will convince them
that the connection with India is very slight indeed, and if it
were not for the fact that in each of the works referred to the
term ‘Indian’ is used or supposed to be used no one would
have suggested the connection.

Muhammad Masa el-Chowarezmi lived in the first
quarter of the ninth century of our era. He was one of the
scholars that the Khalif el-Mamin is said to have employed in
measuring a degree of the meridian, the revision of Ptolemy’s

Pp

through Rosen’s translation.! The particular work of Muham-
mad tsa in question was published in Europe in 1857 by
Prince Boncompagni who gives it the title Algoritmi de numero
Indorum. The following list of contents of the work, however,
shows pretty conclusively that it is not of Indian origin :-—

Beyond the somewhat cryptic statement that the Pytha-

are not Indian at all) there is little to connect this work with a
Hindu origin. For example, Chapter XIV is largely based on

Of this Abraham practically nothing is known, but it i
been supposed that he is the same as Ibrahim b. Ezra,!
learned Jew, who lived in the twelfth century (1093-1168 a.p. .
His work consists of some thirty-three algebraic problems which
he solves in various ways. After the brief introductory remarks

This is more than sufficient warrant for rejecting Woepcke’ 8

It will have been noticed that in the Algoritmi of Muham-
mad | b. Miisi and the arithmetic of Planudes the ‘proof by
nine’ is employed, but we find no trace of this method in an.
early Hindu work. Avicenna (980-1037 a.p. be is, however, said
to attribute a connected rule to the Hind After having

be three, or six, or nine.’’ The blank to be filled is the trans-
lation of the word hindasi. Woepcke gives ‘Indian’ but
acknowledges that it should ordinarily be ‘geometrical.’ His
reason for rejecting the term ‘ geometrical’ is that the rule in
question appears to hae es no connection with any geometrical

method, apr his reason for giving ‘Indian’ as the on mapa
appears to be based on the assumption that the Arabs ow

Not only is the translation of hindasi by ‘Indian’ here philo-
logically wrong but the term ‘Indian’ cannot be applied to the -

Hindu work the slightest indication that would lead one to

expect to come across such arule. The same termh indasi is

applied to another rule obviously deduced from the former by

Avicenna. This second rule may be expressed thus—

No such rule occurs in any Hindu work.

The cases in which the term ‘Indian’ is applied to numeri-

appears incongruous to apply the term ‘ geometrical’ to them.
The term hindasi is, however, quite broad enough to include
them as will be seen later on.

nine signs, called the signs of Gobar, are those which are em-
ployed very frequently in our Spanish province and in the
country of Maghreb and Africa. Their origin is said to be as
follows: A man of the nation of Indians took some fine powder
and spread it on a table made of wood or some other substance
or on any plane surface whatever and marked in it whatever
he wanted to in the operations of multiplication or division or
other operations. Then when he had finished the problem
he put it into a cup-board until he wanted it again.’’

dosein b. Muh. el-Mahalli gives practically the same
account but leaves out the cup-board business, while Ahmed b.
Abi Bekr gives the so-termed ‘ Indian’ notations in a book
entitled ‘‘ The ancient Alphabets and Hieroglyphic characters
explained ; with an account of the Egyptian Priests, their
classes, initiation, and sacrifices.’ This is hardly the sort of
book in which we should expect to find an authoritative state-

also be noted that the symbols of Boethius were given in his
geometry and not in his arithmetic, and we may refer to the
famous ‘geometrical number’ of Plato! and to the Hebrew
gematria. .

There is an instructive point about this last. Until quite
recent!y scholars derived the word from the Greek grammateia
simply because they could not conceive how the term * geome-
trical’ could be applied to the system. Here is a recent
authoritative statement * on the meaning of the term:

cal value when added.

The Arabic words hindaz, hindazat, hindasi, etc. mean

‘a measure,’ ‘geometry,’ ‘architecture.’ According to Whish 4

the term hindasi was often used by the Arabs to designate

especially an alphabetic notation. According to the Burhan-i-

kati (Calcutta 1818) the term ‘‘ Hindisah signifies measure and

re. It is also applied to the numerals which are here writ-
ten below the corresponding words :—’’

usbo 3 a osu!
1°49A ve err!

Surely if it was intended that the word hindisah should be
connected with the word ‘Indian’ the Hindu and not the
Arabic forms would have here been given.

The words handasi, etc. are said to be derived from the
Persian andaza which means ‘a measure,’ ‘a quantity,’
‘proportion.’ This derivation is given in modern dictionaries,
but it was also given by the great lexicographer Firozabadi

).

Another fact worthy of note is that the terms Aindi and
hindasi were applied to other notations that never were em-

The Hindus themselves never claimed to have invented the

device of places to make them suffice for all numbers
ascribed to the beneficent Creator of the Universe in Bhashara’s
Vasana and in Krishna’s commentary on the Vijaganita.'
Neither did they claim originality in mathematics. Bhaskara
often speaks with disdain of Hindu mathematicians and refers
to certain ‘ ancient teachers’ as authorities. If these ancient
teachers had been Hindus he would most probably have men-
tioned them by name

Hindu works as really representative and to reject the Western

evidence where it does not agree with the orthodox Hindu
exposition.

EDITOR’S PREFACE.

Very few words seem to be required by way of introduction
to the present reprint.

The pioneer work of Csoma de KGrés in the field of Tibe-
tan research has a permanent value for scholars ; and on the
occasion of the 125th anniversary of Csoma’s birth,' I sug-
gested to the Asiatic Society of Bengal that it would be a fit-
ting tribute to the great Hungarian traveller and scholar, if
they were to publish in a collected form all the articles he had
contributed to their Journal. These articles are scattered
over seven different volumes of the Journal. Some of the
earliest volumes are very difficult to procure, and time has
played sad havoc with the existing copies owing to the bad
paper on which they were printed. Of the fourteen articles
contained in this collection, Nos. I to XIII were published
during the author’s lifetime, and they have consequently been
reprinted exactly as they were sent to Press by Csoma de
Korés. No. XIV, however, did not appear till many years
after his death—and although, as we learn from an editorial
note, the proofs were corrected by a Lama, the Tibetan text
in the original article is full of misprints and misspellings. I
have, therefore, revised the text, and in this connection I have
to acknowledge with grateful thanks the assistance received
from Lama Lobzang Mingyur of the Darjeeling High School,
who possesses a knowledge of Tibetan orthography rare among
Lamas of to-day.

No. I. Geographical Notice of Tibet.
[J.A.S.B., Vol. 1, p. 122 (1832).]

The vast mountainous tract of country between about 73°
and 98° east longitude from London, and 27° and 38° north
latitude, may be called by the general name of ‘‘ Tibet,’’ since
the Tibetan language is understood everywhere from Beltistan
(or Little Tibet) down to the frontier of China, although there
be several corrupt dialects ps it, and the inhabitants of these
countries, in general, have the same manners and customs, are
addicted to the same "faith ps Buddhism), and have the same
religious books written or printed in characters common to all
the different provinces.

e native name of Tibet is ‘‘ Pot,” as it is pronounced
commonly; ‘‘ Bod,’’ more properly. It denotes both the
nation, and the country: for distinction’s sake the country i is
expressed by ‘* Bod-yul’’ (Bod-land), a male native ‘‘ Bod-pa,’’

and a female one ‘‘ Bod-mo.’’ The Indian name for Tibet is
Bhot,

The natives of Tibet apply the name Pot, or Bod, especially

to _ middle Tibet, or to the two provinces ‘‘ U”’ [U] and

towards Ladak i is called ‘‘ Narv.”’ Bhutan i is called by several
names by the Tibetans ; as, ‘* Lhopato,’ “‘Lho-mon-k’ ha-zhi,”’
‘© Lho-bruk-pé-yul,’’ or simply ‘¢ Tho”’ (the south). According
to these divisions, the inhabitants of Tibet are distinguished
thus: ‘‘ Pot-pa”? (or U-tsdng-pa) means a native of middle
Tibet ; ‘‘ K’hampa’’ (or K’ham-ba), one of eastern Tibet;
*$ at >> one of western Tibet ; and ‘‘ Lho-pa,”’ a native of
Bhuta

The whole of Tibet —_ high ground, and lies among
snowy mountains. Hence it is called in ‘Tibetan books by

Brahmaputra rivers are in Nari (Mnahris). There are several
large lakes also. Tibetan writers, in describing the situation of

Tibet, have likened Nari to a lake or watering pond ; U-tsang to
four channels ; and K’ham-yul to a field.

Tibet is bounded on the north by the countries of the Turks
and Mongols, whom the Tibetan call Hor, and Sok-po (Hor-sok).
On the east by China (Gyanak in Tib.). On the south by India —
(Gyagar in Tib.). On the west by India, Cashmir, Afganistan,
Tazik-yul, and Turkistan.

The people of these parts differ very ‘much from the rest
of the Tibetans in their stature, features, dress, customs, and
in the manner of speaking the Tibetan language. They are
very robust, passionate, void of artifice or cunning, not fond of
ornaments on their dress. In K’ham-yul, those called Pon or
Bon, holding still the ancient religion of Tibet, are very numerous.
They have also their literature, religious order, several mon-
asteries, and kill several animals, at and small cattle, for
sacrifice: they have many superstitious rites

is called Ndri. This part is of very great extent, but the
number of inhabitants is inconsiderable, not ma, fifty
thousand families together with Ladak and Beltistan. There
have been several small principalities formerly in dri, as,
Gugé, Purdéng, Kangri ; but all these belong now to the great
L4mé at Lhassa, and are governed by K’harpons (commanders
of 3 sent from Lhassa. There are also in Nari ve
extensive deserts. The inhabitants dwells in tents, made of hair

who is sent from U-tsang or Lhassa, and generally remains there —
for three years. __

Gugé, part of Nari, lying to the north of Garhwal and Ka-

two thousand families. The principal places are 7'’saprang and

ak, formerly called Mar-yul, still has its own prince,
but he must accommodate himself to the political views of the
Chinese. Zanskar, Purik, Nubra, form part of the Lad
principality. In the whole of Ladak the number of the inhabit-
ants does not exceed twenty thousand families. Nearly the
half of them are Mohammedans, mostly of the Shia persuasion.
Lé (slé) is the capital of Ladak, the residence of the prince, and
the emporium of a considerable trade with Turkistan, Lhassa,
and the Panjab countries. It is about 15 to 20 days’ journey
from Cashmir to the east, and nearly under the same latitude, —
(7.e. 34° north lat.).
Little Tibet or Beltistan (Belti-yul, in Tibetan) is the most
north-western part of Tibet. There are several chiefs. The
chief residing at Kdrdo is the most powerful among them ; those
of Kyeré and Kuru, with some others, depend on the former.
The chief of Shigér holds sometimes with the prince of Ladak —
and sometimes with the chief of Kdrdo. The chiefs of Minaro, —

The people of Lhopdto or Bhutan, on account of their
language, religion, and political connexion, belong to Tibet.
But in their customs and manners they have adopted much from
the Indians. They are more clean in their dresses and houses
than the other Tibetan races. The men are of a martial spirit,
like those of K’ham-yul, with whom they are said to have much
resemblance in their character. The people of Bhutan speak
a corrupt dialect of the Tibetan language ; but there are several
religious establishments, a great many books, and some
religious persons are well acquainted with the Tibetan language
and literature. They are Buddhists of the sect called in Tibet
Brukpa (vulg. Dukpa). They adopted this kind of Buddhism
in the 17th century of our era, when Ndk-Vang Nam-gyel, a
Lama of great respectability, leaving 7'sdng in middle Tibet,
established himself in Bhutan. There are counted now about

In U-tséng, the Ydrbrokyu-ts’ho, Mu-le-sgrum ts’ho, and Nam-
ts’ho ch’hukmo are likewise of great extent. There are many
others of inferior rank or less compass ; as, that of Ld-ndg to the
west of Ma-p’ham. From Ridok (near Ladak) to the east or
south-east, there are many salt lakes.

intervals, hot water is ejected with great noise to the height of

have to anything ; as, sheep-eye, sheep-horn, sheep-brain, swine-
head, bird-leg, cow-tongue, stone-trumpet, etc. They are not
objects of reverence in Tibet, neither of curiosity. Some o
them, after being burnt and reduced to powder, are used as
medicaments in certain diseases.

In the whole of Tibet, there is, in general, a deficiency
of wood, both for fuel and for building, or timber, especially
in Nari and U-tsang. In Bhutan and Beltistan there are many
sorts of fruit trees. In K’ham-yul there are some woods a
forests. In the western part of Ladak and in Beltistan some
vines are cultivated. Inmiddle Tibet and Ladak the mountains
are in general naked, destitute of herb, grass, and every vege
table. In the valleys, where the fields can be watered or irrigat-
ed, several kinds of corn are produced, especially wheat, barley,
buck-wheat, millet, peas, and some others. In dri and in
the northern deserts of Tibet, there grow several kinds of medi-
cal herbs and plants, and there are likewise good pastures ; but
there are in the deserts no fields for producing corn, and wh
they want they purchase from those who inhabit the southern
parts of Nari, and give them in exchange yaks, sheep, wool,
woollen cloth, salt, borax, ete. ;

_ Rice is nowhere cultivated in Tibet. There are some
kinds of pulse; as peas, bean, and lentils. There is no great
variety of esculent plants. They have some turnips, cabbages,

use in general such greens as grow wild. In the western part

No. II. Translation of a Tibetan Fragment.
With remarks by H. H. Witson, Secy.
[J.A.8.B., Vol. I, p. 269 (1832).

(Read, July 4th.)

In the 9th volume of the Gyut class of the Kahgyur occurs
a original of a Tibetan fragment, which created in the beginning

the last century a lively sensation amongst the learned men
of Europe, and the history of which furnishes an amusing in-
stance of the vanity of literary pretensions, and of the patience
and pain with which men of et and erudition have imposed
upon themselves and upon the wo

but fragments of = were preserved, and found their way as
curiosities to Eur

Amongst chee some loose leaves, supposed to have been
obtained at the ruins of Ablaikit, a monastery near the source
of the Irtish, were presented to the emperor Peter the Great.
Literature being then at a low ebb in Russia, no attempt was
made to decypher these fragments, and they were sent by the
Czar to the French Academy, whose sittings he had attended
when at Paris, and who deservedly enjoyed the Beer of
being the most learned body in Europe. In 1723, the Abbé de
Bignon, on the part of the Academy, ooanesiaated S the Czar
the result of their labour, apprising him, that the fragments
sent were portions of a workin the Tibetan language, and sending
a translation of one page made by the Abbé Fourmont with the
help of a Latin and Tibetan Dictionary in the Royal Library.
The letter was published in the Transactions of the Academy
of St. Petersburgh, and the text and translation reprinted by
Bayer in his Museum Sinicum. Miiller in his Commentatio
de Scriptis Tanguticis in Siberia repertis—Petropoli, 1747,
criticised Fourmont’s translation, and gave a new one of the
first lines, prepared with the double aid of a Tangutan priest,
or Gelong, who rendered it into Mongol, and a Mongol student
of the Imperial College, who interpreted that version to Miiller.

Not a word of this appears in the preceding versions. Its
accuracy speaks for itself; but in confirmation of its correctness,
the original Tibetan, both in Tibetan and Roman characters
is here reprinted, as well as the translation of the entire passage.
Those to whom the prosecution of the subject is of interest may
readily estimate for themselves the superiority of Mr. Csoma’s
labours, by comparing them at length with the text and trans-
lations of Fourmont and Giorgi in the Alphabetum Tibetanum.

Before proceeding to the new translation, powevers a few
further remarks upon the subject of the old are sary.

The Society is apprised of the general Suaiecear of the
contents of the Gyut portion of the Kahgyur, to which our
original belongs, and will not be surprised, therefore, to learn
that a great part of the extract consists of Mantras, or ‘mystical
formule, or invocations, and these not in Tibetan but in Sanscrit.
Now, neither of the former translators had any knowledge of
Sanscrit,, nor was aware that these passages were in that langu-

e. Fourmont considered them to be Tibetan, as well as the rest,
and very deliberately translated the Sanscrit words with the
help of his Tibetan Dictionary. As he could not find the exact
words, however, he was content to take those most like them ;
and at the expense of a few letters omitted or inserted, he con-
trived equivalents for the mantras equally baisdachers with those

lates, ‘‘ Hgrotavit (restitit morbo) Samtam poutra per annum —
dum hujus mundi evanesceret, &c.’’ The same importing,

No. III, Note on the Origin of the Kéla-Chakra and
Adi-Buddha Systems,

[J.A.S.B., Vol. Il, p. 57 (1833).]

The peculiar religious system entitled the Kdla-Chakra is
stated, generally, to have been derived from Shambhala, as it is
called in Sanscrit, (in Tibetan ** bdé-hbyung,’” vulgé ** de-
jung,’ signifying “‘ origin or source of happiness’’), a fabulous
country in the north, the capital of which was Cdlapa, a very
splendid city, the residence of many illustrious kings of Sham-
bhala, situated between about 45° and 50° north latitude, beyond
the Sita or Jaxartes, where the increase of the days from the
vernal equinox till the summer solstice amounted to 12 Indian

last half of the tenth century. after Christ, and afterwards, vid
Cashmir, it grin its way into Tibet; where, in the fourteenth,

fifteenth, and s nth centuries, several learn men, whose

works are still pas in that country, published researches and
commentaries on the Kdla-Chakra system ; among these authors
the most celebrated are PuToN, or Bu-stom, Kuetup, or m

GRUB and PapMA CaRpo, who lived respectively in the three

centuries ee Peake ed.
ARPO (on the 68th leaf of his e Origin of (the

Kdla-Chakra into, or at, Nalanda (or Nalendra, a large religious

establishment in Central India), and the doctrine which it con-

tained :

No mention is a ialts of the Kdla-Chakra, nor of Adi-Buddha,
by ancient writers in India, till the 10th century, except in the
first volume of the rGyut class in the Kah-gyur, where it is
evidently an interpolation from true historical works of later ages.
ince the passage above exhibited is an authentic text for
the name of Adi-Buddha, while it furnishes a general idea of the
Kdla-Chakra system, I have thought proper to bring it to the
notice of the Society, and hope it will be of some interest.

No. VI. Tibetan Symbolical Names, used as Numerals.
[J.A.S.B., Vol. III, p. 6 (1834).]

In astronomy and astrology, there are many works to be
found in Tibet that have not been introduced into the Kah-
gyur or Stan-gyur collections. Of these the most celebrated
is the ce tab Karpo, written by s,De-srid Sangs-r gqyas r,Gya-

m,ts’ ho (x a5 AIA" ar J "aI ), 2 regent or viceroy at
Lhassa, in the last half of the seventeenth century of our era.
In all these works, symbolical names (AERTAR grangs

br,da, numerical signs) are used instead of numerals, in all
arithmetical and astronomical calculations. As for instance :
+A, for + 2 a for—3 ; x &, for x 4 ;+ 3] for +32.

This mode of expressing numbers has been borrowed from
India by the Tibetans. For some of the numerals specified
below, there are yet other synonymous terms applied in Tibetan,
as in Sanskrit, but in their works these only are of general use
Although the nine units, together with the zero (0), would be
sufficient to express any greater number, yet there are used the
following numerals also : 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 18, 24, 25, 27,
and 32.

When dictating to an assistant in symbolical names what to
write in characters, the pandit commences the operation from

right to left : thus if he says oA (12), RRA (0), NA (4),

the other writes 4012, &c. This method is the same as that
followed i in the Shastras of India, therefore it is unnecessary to

THE required qualities in a maiden who may aspire to be

verses (against the veil), the meaning of which is as follows :

‘* Sitting, standing, and walking, those that are venerable,
are pleasing when not concealed. A bright gem will give more
lustre if put on the top of a standard. The venerable are pleas-
ing when they go, they are agreeable also when they come.
They are so whether they stand or whether they are sitting.
In every manner the venerable are pleasing. The man excellent
in virtue is pleasing when he speaks ; he is so also when he sits
still. As an example, doth not the Kalapinka bird appear
more beautiful when she chaunteth her lovely song in your
presence ? The venerable man who putteth on a garment
made of the kusha grass, or whose squalid clothing concealeth
not his emaciated body, still shineth with his own lustre. He
that hath good qualities is adorned by those qualifications.
They who have put off all vices are venerable. Fools, com-
mitting vices, howmuchsoever they be adorned, are never
pleasing. Those that have malice in their heart and speak a

to them, all reverence them. They are suppo and cherished

though they should cover their body even with a thousand

No. IX. Interpretation of the Tibetan Inscription on a
Bhotian Banner, taken in Assam, and presented to the
Asiatic Society by Captain Bogle.

[J.4.8.B., Vol. V, p. 264 (1836).]

{In a letter to the Secretary of the Asiatic Society; see also Proceedings
of the Asiatic Society, 4th May, 1836.]

According to the request conveyed in your letter of the 30th
April, I have translated the piece of magical superstition which
you have faithfully transcribed from the Bhotian board. With
exception of the salutation at the beginning and the conclusion,
and a few terms in the middle, the whole is in the Tibetan langu-

ort of it, as will be evident from the tenor of the
translation, is, to obtain the favour and protection of several
inferior divinities, to increase the prosperity, &c. of the person
and family for whom the ceremony was performed, and this
magical piece was erected or set up.

It may be that the flag-staff, with the wooden board con-
taining this inscription, was carri fore the Tibetan chief in
his march, and so used as an ensign in war; but it is more
probable that it belonged originally to the house-top or terrace of
the prince in Bhotan : for the houses of great personages in that
country are generally decorated with such ensigns of victory at
the four corners of the terraced roof. They are called in Tibetan

HANASS rgyal mishan (ensign of victory), and always con-

tain ad et a of similar purport with this.
ard to the orthography of the ett : frequently
occurs in Tibetan writings and books, that the v si are

iret of the line above; several cases of this occur in your
transcript. The intersyllabic points at the end of a line are

generally also omitted, except with the conjunction aC which

will also be remarked here. I have made a copy in Roman
characters, and have also endeavoured to make a literal transla-
tion : the words in Italics I cannot properly interpret.

X. Note on the white Satin Embroidered Scarfs of the
Tibetan Priests. By Major T. H. A. Lloyd. With a
translation of the motto on the margin of one presented
to the Asiatic Society.

[J.A.S.B., Vol. V, p. 383 (1836).]

Having received lately, with a letter from Butan, one of the
silk scarfs mentione TURNER as in use in that country and
Tibet, which, though rather dirty, is of a superior manufacture
and more highly ornamented with figures of deities than those
I have heretofore met with, I°think it may be presented as a
specimen to the Society. I can fully confirm TuRNER’s account
of its general use in all intercourse, and am sorry I have not had

any opportunity of ascertaining the origin of the ey which
is, I believe, peculiar to Tibet, Batan, and Si
to Mr. Csoma Kérést for an explanation of the peneentbe woven
in at the ends of the scarf, and that gentleman has kindly trans-
cribed and translated them. I enclose his notes on the subject,
and to save you the trouble of a reference, I shall copy what
TURNER says on this subject ; to whose account I can only add
that these scarfs are almost indispensable i in all religious offerings,
as well as on the occasions he mentions.

Sangyé (AICAT ERAT * Sangs-r,gyas) is the generic name for

expressing the aig Being or intelligence in the Buddhistic
system. This term corresponds to the Sanskrit Buddha
Tibetan it denies the most perfect being, that is pure (or clean)
from all imperfections, and abounds in all good qualities.
There are three distinctions with respect to the essence, the
substance or body of BupDHA ; as

1. Dharma kaya (arn: —chhos-kyi-sku) ; 2. Sambhog-
kaya ( Acar SpE SiiGky —longs-spyod-rdsogs-pahi’-sku),
and 3. Nirmankdya C alnal- ouscartaa The first,
as the primary essence of all things, is denominated by several
names; as, A’di Buddha (Fay NA" AICAT AI ) ; — Samanta

To the Sambhogkdy a belong the Dhydni Buddhas of five
kinds, the chief of whom is Vairochana (or Bérotsana, as the Tibe-

tans pronounce it, called by them, Ser aR' i SER —rnam-per-

snang-mdsad : the illuminator. These are the attendants of
A’di- Buddha.

To the third or NV irmankdya belong the several incarnations
of Buddha. Immense is the number of such Buddhas that have
appeared in former ages in the several parts of the universe.

74 The Different Systems of Buddhism.

this age (styled the happy age) the number of incarnations of
Buddhas is one thousand, four of whom have appeared hitherto,
and the rest are to come hereafter. Though there are mention
many Buddhas as having appeared and having taught their
doctrines, yet in the modern Buddhistic system every thing is
attributed or referred to SHsKya, who is supposed (by the
Tibetans) to have lived about one thousand years before Jesus
rist.

The different systems of Buddhism derived from India,

and known now to the Tibetans, are the following four :—

1. Vaibhashika, ( ag57) ~ byé-brag-pa).

2. Sautrantika,; ( AR Ss -- mdo-sdé-pa).

3. Yogacharya ( sar SA S52 or RISISY SHC] —/nal-

4. Madhyamika Gey’ ah Snide ced ea

The first consists of four principal classes with its subdivisions.
They originated with Sua’kya’s four disciples ; who are called
in Sanskrit, Ra’HuLA, Ka’sHyapa, Upa’ii, and Ka’tya’YANA.

son of Sua’Kya. His followers were divided in four sects. They
recited the Satra on emancipation, in Sanskrit ; they affirmed
the existence of all things; they wore on their religious garb
from twenty-five to nine narrow pieces of cloth. The distinctive
mark of this class was an utpala padma (water-lily), jewel, and
tree-leaf put together in the form of a nosegay.*

2. Ka’sHYAPA ( QS’) —Hod-srung), of the Brahman

caste. His followers were divided into six sects. They were
called the ‘‘ great community.’’ They recited the Sutra of
emancipation in a corrupt dialect. They wore on their religious
garb from twenty-three to three pieces of narrow cloth ; and they
carried a shell or conch as a distinctive mark of their school.

3. Upa’ti (Tib. SAL ARS —Nyé-var-hkhor), of the Stidra

after the death of SHxkyA. His principal disciples have been
A’rya Deva and Buppua patita. There are in the Stan-gyur
several works of them on the Madhydmika system. Some
learned pandits in India have united this system with that of
the Yogdchérya, as BopuisaTwa (or SHANTA RAKSHITA has done)
in the 8th century, and afterwards AtisHa in the 11th.

76 The Different Systems of Buddhism.

CHANDRA K1’RTI, AVR, wrote a commentary on the

From among the four theories above specified, only the two
last are philosophical, the two first being rather dogmatical, or
following implicitly scriptural authorities. According to the
views of some writers, there is little difference between the
Yogacharya and the Madhydmika theories also, as some have
united them ; except that the former is more practical and the
latter more theoretical or speculative (dealing with too many
abstract terms, and minute discriminations). In the Do class of
the Stan-gyur, there are many volumes containing works ex-
planatory of both these systems. But they can be understood
only by the learned, the generality of the religious persons (or
the clergy) prefer to read Tantrika works, the Dulvé, and some
tracts of the Do class of the Kah-gyur.

The above mentioned systems are well known to many of
the learned in Tibet; but there are likewise many who are
acquainted only with their names.

There is another distinction (with which the Tibetans are more
familiar, and which is taken from the scriptures) with respect sh
the principles on which the scriptural works are founded ;

that of SAVZTAAS| Thég-pa-gsum ; $. Tri-ydnam, the three

know, that every compound thing is perishable, that there is no
reality in things; that every imperfection is pain, and that
deliverance from pain or bodily existence is final happiness or
beatitude.

3.° Those of the highest capacities, besides the above enu-
merated articles, know that from the body or last object to the
supreme soul, nothing is existing by itself, neither can be sai
that it will continue always, or cease absolutely ; but that every
thing exists by a dependent or causal connection or concatenation.

ith respect to practice, those of vulgar capacity are content

with the exercise of the ten virtues. Those of a middle degree,
besides the fulfilling of the ten virtues, endeavour to excel in
morality, meditation, and ingenuity or wisdom. Those of the
highest capacities pec the former Ne perfectly exercise the
six transcendal virtues.

With respect to their summum bonu

The first seeing the Rae of ‘ions suffering in the bad
places of transmigration ; as, in hell, Yidaks, and beasts, wish to

Those of the second class, not contented with the happiness
of the former, wish for themselves only to be delivered entirely
from pain and bodily existence. Lastly ; these regarding as
every bodily existence, in whatever region of i world it be,
aspire to final emancipation, an and wish to arrive at the supreme
perfection, that they may become able to help ne he in their
miseries.

Such distinction in speculative peg re as that of the
Swabhavika, Aishwarika, Kdarmika, and Y. tnika does not exist
in Tibetan books (except, perhaps, among Biss Nyigma-pa sect,
who are said to possess yet several volumes that have not been
printed in the Kah-gyur and Stan-gyur collections, but which

be found in Tibet both written and printed, among the
people of that sect), although there are many works in the Stan-
gyur containing materials on the several doctrines or tenets of
those philosophical schools.

The ancient philosophical sects in India mentioned fre-
quently and partly described in the Tibetan books, especially
in the Stan-gyur volumes, are as follows :

1. Grangs-chen-pa ( any SH x|—Sdnkhya in Sanskrit).
The Buddhists have adopted much of this school. Inthe & and B

volumes of the Do class in the Stan-gyur, there is an account
of the six schools (and of others also) in ancient India.

No. XIII, Remarks on Trans-Himalayan Boodhist
Amulets.

[J.A.S.B., Vol. IX, Part IL, p. 905 (1840).]

With reference to the two scrolls which were sent to you
from Almora, and which you had left with me, together with a
letter from Mr. W. E. Carte, on the 17th ultimo, I beg leave to.
inform you that both contain abstracts of some larger Tantrika
works, or religious treatises, in Tibetan, interspersed with man-
tras in Sanscrit. The first paper, eight feet five inches long, of
which the figures take two feet five inches, and the text six feet,
contains 244 lines (two and a half inches long each) in printed
Tibetan character. I cannot exactly tell you what the figures
may represent, but I think the first is the regent, or ruler of the
year, figured by a victorious king. The second is a tortoise, with
nine spots on the belly, representing the lucky and unlucky

his minister, horse, elephant, soldier, sun, moon, eye, ass, etc
Afterwards, from the head of a bird downwards, in two lines,
there are Chinese symbolical figures, or characters, having per-

aps the same meaning as the figures above designed. These
symbolical characters were used 200 years before Jesus Christ,
under the Han dynasty ; the Tibetans now also use them on large
square seals.

There are on this paper five different abridged Tantrika
works, or siitras, under distinct titles, the Sanscrit being generally
erronevusly written.

1. Contents of the first sitra.. The salutation, only in Sans-
crit, thus: Namo Shri Kalachakrayé (which should be thus :
Namas Shri Kalachakraya. English: ‘‘ Salutation to the
circle of Time.’’ The year, month, day, and hour, are figured
by a prince, minister, soldier, and weapon. All the regents of
the year, month, day, and hour ; those of the planets, constella-
tions, stars, Nagas, and imps are requested to look on these
symbolical figures, and be favourable to the person who wears

nesses or works (religious, sacrificial, civil, and economical)
are here enumerated, and all classes of divinity are requested
not to hinder him in any of his occupations, but to assist him,
that he may increase in prosperity, and see all his works accom-
plished. Here also occur some mantras ; that, at the end being
thus: Om! Supratis’ ht ha Vajrayé-Swahad, Mangalam.

2. The second work contains in Sanscrit, short addresses
to Shakya Muni, to Vagishw4ri, to Manipadmé, to Vajra Pani,
and to Vajra Guru, Padma Siddhi.

3. The third contains one sloka and a half, in Tibetan, with
a mystical formula in Sanscrit, on the melodious recital of the
several attributes of Manju Shri (in Tibetan, Jam-pal) the god
of wisdom. It is pretended that this short stra, taught by
Shakya himself, and buried underground in the country of
Lho-brag, in Tibet, by Padma Sambhava in the 9th century
after Jesus Christ, was taken out and divulged by Guru Chos-
kyi d, Vang phyug.

This is called the venerable sttra, dispelling the dark-
ness of the ten corners of the world. The salutation is especially
addressed to Jampal (Manju Shri, in Sans.) and to the ten
Buddhas in the ten corners of the world. In each of the ten

tion is addressed to Buddha, religion, and_ holy priests, etc.

. The wise, in the time of studying, suffer pains ; since,
without exertion, it is impossible to become wise. He that is
passionate for a small pleasure, never can arrive at great felicity.

8. If you are intelligent, though you be weak, what can
do to you a powerful enemy? The king of the wild beasts (or
of the deer), though strong, was killed by an intelligent hare.

_ The ocean is never satiate with water. The treasury
of a king is never full of money. One is never satisfied with the
enjoyment of a thing. Wise men are insatiable with elegant
sayings.

own body —a bat gives ill omens to others.

5. An excellent man, by his gentleness, preserves both
himself and others ; a bad man causes pain both to himself and
to others by his stiffness. A fruit tree keeps (nourishes) both
itself and others ; a dry tree, by its stiffness cumbers both itself
and others.

s long as you have wealth, every one is your
kinsman, if you are declined, every one is your foe. The island
of precious metals is visited from far distance—when the lake
(or sea) is dried up every one leaves it off.

Though a virtuous man disputes, yet there exists
advantage thereof ; a fool causes damage by his friendship also.
Though the gods be angry yet they defend the animate beings.
The lord of death, though he smiles, yet kills an enemy.

An excellent man, like the precious metal, is, in every
respect, invariable—a villain, like the beam of a balance, is
always varying somewhat up—and downwards. -

79. Itis difficult to make dissension amongst the virtuous—
but it is easy to reconcile them—low people can easily be sepa-
rated, but difficulty reconciled. See what a difference there is
between the sandal-tree, and the coal made of its wood

Though a virtuous man decline for awhile, yet, like the
increasing moon, he rises again—if a low man once is decayed
he will be extinguished, like a lamp.

1. Wealth, to a low man, is a cause of pride,—to a virtu-
ous man it is that of gentleness (or, humbleness). The fox-
born, when he has filled his belly, behaves proudly, the lion,
when his belly is full takes his repose.

of her diseased child. k

to the taste, when it has reached the sea, becomes brinish. :

85. As the Rigab (S. Sumeru) is not to be moved by any
creature, so the great self-one (the excellent man) stands firm.
As a small piece of cotton is easily moved, so the practice of a

86. When a cunning person speaks fair, it is for his own
interest not out of respect for others; the laughing voice of the
night-bird is an ill omen, it proceeds not from joy.
Tf a man grows too famous, on account of his great
advancement, though he endures for a while, yet at last he is

destroved. The ass that was covered with the skin of a leopard,
after having eaten up one man’s standing corn, was slain by
another.

91. Itis a rare thing to find one who can give good advice,
but it is more rare to find one who would listen (to advice)—
difficult it is to find an expert physician, few are they that would

92. Judge not before you have examined. It often hap-
pens that an upright man, if he loses his cause, is thought to be
aknave. He that acts with discretion, has many enemies.

tee If many consent together, great things may be per-
formed even by little forces. It is said: a lion’s whelp was
killed by an assembled multitude of ants (or pismires).

101. He that is indolent and deficient in exertion, though
he be strong and robust, shall decay. An elephant, though he be
very strong, is treated, by his little driver, as a slave.

,, 102. When haughtiness is carried too far, even great men
will be overpowered ; though the white tortoise (fish) has only 4
little body, yet is he the destroyer of a large crocodile.

03. The great have no need to be arrogant ; the arrogance
of the mean is futile. A gem wants no recommendation ; none
would be a counterfeit jewel, though it be highly extolled (or
praised).

104. Men, commonly, are injured by men of the like kind
(tribe) with themselves. By the appearing of sunshine, all
other luminous bodies are offuscated.

eep him from whom you derive advantage, though
he is your enemy. Reject him that hurts you, though he be

107. It is rare to find one who is all perfection ; but it A
rare also to find one who is destitute of every good quality.
wise man will keep him who leans more to virtue than to vice.

108. It is doubtful at first, whether a person is our ont

109. To be one’s own master, is always counted as happi-

Common things are the cause of quarrels. We are bound, if we
have promised a thing.

110. You may have, inwardly, all good qualities, but, if
you have not a proper dress, you are despised by all. Though
the bat is a prudent bird, yet since he has no feather, it is said,
he is rejected by all winged animals.

111. A foolish man is pleasing, when he speaks but little ;
a king is dignified when he keeps secluded ; imposing spectacles
are beautiful if viewed at a far distance ; a jewel, if rare, fetches

158. Wealth. wit, strength, and the like, all will associate
with you, if you have moral merits (if you are virtuous), but if
you 7 none, they become the cause of your ruin.

eine of his moral merits. At the time of contest, among a
1undred persons, it is rare to find one of accomplished moral
merits.

veyed, as instructed, the Society's promise to conduct the
Regional Bureau for India and Ceylon, and our Indian Govern-
ment’s promise to maintain the Bureau.

Many matters were discussed at the Convention and may
be read of inits report; but among them was one of outstanding
importance, namely, the increasing difficulty of getting together
the titles of all published scientific papers because of the obscure
places in which so many are published. It behoves authors
who publish scientific papers in India and Ceylon to help the
Regional Burean in this difficulty by sending to it copies of
their papers that they may be indexed by the staff, unless
they have been printed in one of the Journals named. below.
Those who consult the Catalogue may have noticed how
greatly the size of some volumes in 1907 and 1908 increased :
this was owing to the inclusion of omissa from the preceding
years picked up by the Bureau as it becomes more perfectly
organized.

The Regional Bureau for India and Ceylon sent 2770 index
slips to the Central Bureau in the year under review. This is a
slight increase on the number sent in the preceding year. Its
upkeep cost Rs. 610-7-6. £279 15s. 10d. were sent to London
at a cost of Rs. 4,164-5-6, being subscriptions collected for
ae Three hundred and fifty nine volumes were distri-

The following gentlemen helped the Bureau by checking
the index slips :—
Dr. N. Annandale, Mr. H. Maxwell-Lefroy.
Mr. I. H. Burkill. Capt. D. McCay.

. Cotte .
Prof. E. P. Harrison. Mr. G. H. Tipper.
Mr. D. Hooper. Mr. E. Vredenburg.

The following is a list of scientific periodicals published in
India and Ceylon which the Regional Bureau will always y
index in the first place. Authors publishing in them may rest
assured that the titles of their papers will be forwarded without
delay to the Central Bureau. Authors publishing elsewhere
are hen to submit reprints in order to call attention to their
work.

Society’s Premises and Property.

The Council has under consideration a proposal made by
the Principal, Government School of Art, for an improv’ ™
system of protection and preservation of the valuable paint
ings belonging to the Society. There are about 60 oil-paint-—
ings in the Society’s rooms. The portrait of Shah Ghazi-ud-din

its own ground is still under consideration. The Government of
India has generously contributed Rs. 40,000 to the Society’s
Funds towards the cost of the new building, and the Assessor
to the Corporation has valued a strip of land to be acquired
for the widening of Park Street at Rs. 37,225 or Rs. 4,500 per
cottah. As this sum will not be sufficient towards the cost of
the new building, the difference will have to be met from the
Permanent Reserve Fund. The Corporation of Calcutta has
been written to regarding the proposal to rebuild the Society’s
premises at No. 1, Park Street, and a plan showing the extent
of the ground to be covered by the new building submitted for
approval

represents a quarter of a century’s progress in the study of an
interesting and important dialect of North Behar. Supple-
ments to the Punjabi Dictionary by Rev. Graham Bailey are an
important contribution to our knowledge of the Punjabi dialect.
Pandit Raghu Nath Svami gives an account o i
work named Rasiapaasana by Vairocana. Pandit Venkatesh
Vamana Sovani in his article entitled the ‘‘ Discovery of a lon
metre in Prabodhacandrodaya’’ cites an instance of rhythmical
Sanskrit prose supposed to have been invented to give expression
to the sense of the sublime which cannot be expressed by
ordinary verse or prose. Vijayadharma Suri, a learned Jaina
priest, contributes a paper on his edition of the Yoga-Sastra as
a rejoinder to the review of the same published by Dr. Ferdi-
nando Belloni Fillipi in the Zeitshrift der Deutschen morgen-
landischen Gesellschaft. In a Memoir Mahamahopadhyaya
Haraprasad Sastri publishes a Sanskrit work called Rama-carita
composed by poet Sandhyakara Nandi in the reign of Madana
Pala: the workis important as it describes some incidents of the
life of King Rama Pala of the Pala dynasty.
There are also many useful and interesting contributions
on historical topics. In an article entitled ‘‘ Reference to
abylon in the Rigveda,’’ Mr. A. C. Sen cites several legends
from the Vedas with their corresponding stories from the Zend
Avesta to establish that the word Vamri used in the Rigveda
stands for Babylon, as it is identical with the word Bawri o
the Avesta and Bibli of Cuneiform inscriptions. Mahamaho-
padhyaya Hara Prasad Sastri in his article on the origin of the
Indian Drama gives a critical analysis of Natya Sastra by
Bharata and asserts that the dramatic art of the Brahmanas
began with the Indrayatra festival in the pre-Greek period. In
his paper on the causes of the dismemberment of the Maurya
mpire the same writer tries to show that the great empire of
Asoka came to an end by the opposition of the Brahmanas
who guided the policy of Pusyamitra. In a separate paper he
observes that the verses which were taken by Dr. Rajendra Lal
Mitra and Mr. Bendall as introductory to the Prajfiaparamita are
really parts of a different work called Abhisamayalankara by
Maitreyanatha. ‘‘ Maharaja Kanikalekha’’ is the title of a
paper in which Mahamahopadhyaya Satis Chandra Vidyabhu-
sana gives from Tibetan sources some accounts of King Kanish-

padhyaya in another article entitled Yasovijaya Gani describes
the life of a Jaina philosopher who in his numerous works has

Turkestan. The same writer, in a paper entitled Ladvags-rgyal-
rabs, relates the history of the kings of Ladakh, supplementing
-in many imporiant particulars the brief account given by Dr.
Schlagintweit in ‘‘ Die Kénig von Tibet.’’ The article called
‘* Buddhist legends of Asoka and his times’’ by Pandit Laksh-
man Sastri with a prefatory note by Mr. H. C. Norman repro-
duces the Pali story of how Asoka found the Buddhass relics
and distributed them over India. In his article on the history
of Kashmire, Pandit Anand Koul restores from Hasan’s Per-
sian history an account of thirty-five Kashmirian kings who are
not mentioned in the Rajatarangini.

Babu Rakhal Das Banerji has contributed several papers
on inscriptions, one of which deposited in the Indian Museum
and dated 436 A.D. records the dedication of a certain object
to Mahadeva by a minister of king Kumara Gupta I, while ~
another recovered from Natore in Northern Benga! and dated —
432 A.D., though badly corroded, is of great interest as it seems —
to be the earliest’ copperplate grant known to us. ‘‘The-
Madhainagar Grant of Lakshman Sena” published by the writer
proves that the Sena kings of Bengal belonged to the clan of
the Karnata-Ksatriyas and had matrimonial connection with
the Chalukyas. The same writer in a puper entitled the ‘‘ Dis-

Phillott from the Urdu work ‘‘ Sayd gah-i-Shaukat’’ of Nawab
Yar Muhammad Khan of the Rampir State, A.D. 1883. It
deals chiefly with the habits and ways of the Indian game cock,
different modes of cock-fighting, their distempers and remedies
thereof. What adds to the interest of the paper is that the
author explains all the technicalities which the lay reader would
likely find as stumbling-blocks in the course of -his perusal.

Mr. H. E. Stapleton in his article entitled ‘‘ Contributions
to the History and Ethnology of North-Eastern India ’’ corro-
borates his former statement concerning the antiquity of Dacca
by means of a find of Gupta coins.

In the article entitled ‘‘ A passage in the Turki text of the
Babarnamah’’ Mr. H. Beveridge points out a passage occur-
ring in Ilminisky’s edition of the Babarnamah in connection
with Hindal’s birth, and is of opinion that it is an interpolation
by a later writer, probably Jahangir, who was not very we
informed of his family history or of the history of the period
to which the paragraph in question refers.

The Rev. C. Mehl in his article entitled ‘‘ Some Remarks on
Mundari Phonology and on its treatment in the Linguistic Sur-
vey of India ” points out the mistake occurring in the section
on Mundari Phonetics of India and holds that the Mundari
equivalents of the Santali semi-consonants are neither uniform
nor stable in their character and that they in this respect as
well as in their pronunciation differ widely from their sup-

posed Santali equivalents.

The Rev. H. Hosten in his article ‘‘ Who planned the
Taj ?”’ holds that the Taj was designed by foreign Architects,
chiefly European, and refutes the popular opinion of its being

_constructed by native artists. ;

General A. Houtum-Schindler of Teheran in a short paper
entitled ‘‘'The word Scarlet ’’ supports the view held by Dr.
Ross in his paper on the same published in the Journal for
1908 and says that the word scarlet originally stood for a fine
quality of silk. To this Dr. Ross adds a note referring to a
Portuguese letter written to Lord Clive by the King of Siam in
which among other presents the ‘escarlata vermelho’ is men-

tioned, showing that the word scarlet at this time still represented
a material and not a colour.

t.-Col. D. C. Phillott in his ‘‘ Vocabulary of technical
Falconry terms ’’ has given a very valuable collection of tech-
nical words used by the oriental sportsmen and thereby makes
a very useful contribution to the literature on the subject.

The notes on ‘‘The Marsden Collection of MSS. in the

British Museum’’ taken by Messrs. Philipps and Beveridge
and edited by the Rev. H. Hosten is of great value as a contribu- i
tion to the history of Catholic Mission in India. The editor :
has spared no pains in elucidating and elaborating them where
necessary, which adds greatly to the usefulness of the paper.

n a short note on ‘‘ Old guns in Bengal,’’ Rev. H. Hosten

In an extra number of the Journal issued in October,
1910, Dr. E. Denison Ross edited the ‘‘ Diwan-i-Babur Padi-

What adds a special interest to the con-
tents of this volume is the fact that it has preserved a poetical
work by Babur which was hitherto considered to be irretriev-
ably lost. The manuscript which was locally regarded as the
holograph of the Emperor throughout is but a work of a scribe
with occasional marginal corrections and a fragment of a ruba’i
written transversely across the last page in the emperor’s own
hand. In the introduction to the diwan the editor justifies
his having reverted to the spelling Babur which though

always pronounced the final ur quite distinctly, which alone,
he thinks, is sufficient evidence in support of the form Babur.

Mathematics and the Natural Sciences.

The total number of contributions to the Society’s publica-
tions under the heading of Mathematics and the Natural
Sciences is twenty-seven, being as follows :—

photographs of ethnological interest as a supplement to th
‘* Memoirs,’’ as proposed by the Anthropological Society in

Tribes of the Burma-China frontier by Messrs. A. Rose and J.
Coggin Brown, to whom anthropometrical instruments were
lent by the Society. Mr. Coggin Brown has also prepared an
account of a Lisu Jew’s harp which forms an interesting sup-
plement to the Rev. W. Young’s description of this instrument
as it occurs in Assam and Burma. Mr. Hooper has published
in the ‘‘ Journal’’ two papers on Indian drugs of animal origin
that have some anthropological interest, while Mr. I. H. Bur-
kill’s account of fashion in iron styles is a valuable contribu-
tion to the ergology of India. Mr. B. L. Chaudhuri in his
description of a sub-caste of fish-picklers in Eastern Bengal
utters a protest against the official methods of ethnological
research prevalent in this country.

having considered the letter on the subject referred to it by ao
the inary General Meeting of the Society, is of the opinion = :
that in view of the great interest in Sanitoria for consumptives oe
displayed by the late King-Emperor Edward the Seventh, and a
of the urgency of the provision of such Sanitoria in suitable 3
centres in India, as pointed out by this Section last year,—such Se
Sanitoria, of an Imperial character and appealing to all, irres- a
pective of Race or Religion, would be most suitable objects of =
expenditure of a portion of the funds raised in India to com- a
memorate His Late Majesty. They are further of the opinion
that if sufficient funds are available, a grant towards the
recently proposed Institution for Research in Tropical Diseases
and post-graduate instruction, would also be most appro-
priate.’’
This was forwarded to the Mernorial Committee, and has
been included in the objects on which the Bengal funds are to
expended. It is also worthy of note that the previous year’s
resolution on the necessity for Sanitoria for tuberculosis in
India has borne fruit, for after being endorsed by the Govern-
ment of India in a letter to the Local Governments, both the
United Provinces and the Madras have decided on the erection

205 of these coins, but so far only 25 have been sent for exami-
nation. A report on this find will appear in due course in the
Numismatic Supplement.

Most of the coins acquired as a result of the above exami-

way in the near future to publishing a catalogue of more value

Search of Sanskrit Manuscripts.

Notices of Sanskrit Manuscripts, Second Series, and an extra
number of the Notices embodying the result of the examina-
tion made by Mahamahopadhyaya Haraprasida Sastri, M.A.,
in 1907 of the manuscripts added to the Darbar Library,
Nepal, from 1898 to 1906.
Of the manuscripts collected during the year, the most in-
teresting is that of a unique work entitled Catuhsatika by

dated N. 8. 649= 1469 A.D., has also been acquired.

Six hundred and twenty five manuscripts have been exam-
ined with a view to acquisition, but for want of funds they
have not yet been acquired. : pee

The extra number of the notices contains descriptions of
many palm-leaf manuscripts which date from the 9th to the
12th century A.D. ; one of them was written during the reign
of Vigrahapala Deva at Balahanda, %.e., Balanda Pergana of

mentary composed in Saka 1214, 7.e., 1292 A.D. There is, also,
an elementary work on Mimansa entitled N yaya Prakasa. The
last two books of the Ramayana are in the handwriting of
a son of Ramajaya Mukerji Vidyabhiisana of Somra, copied
in 1801. Many parts of the Rg. Veda were copied in the 18th
century. The collection cian small is very important as it
contains standard works on a variety of subjects and is extra-
ordinary for such an early collection by an European scholar.

Search for Arabic and Persian Manuscripts.

Ross has conducted the search without interruption
throughout the year. As heavy purchases were ma
previous year and the payment of many MSS. had to be
held over to this year, no extensive tour was made. Only Hafiz
Nazir Ahmad, the Chief Travelling Moulvi, was sent to Benares

pronounced this work to be a forgery. But the Benares
editors defended the work as genuine. While Mahamaho-
padhyaya Hara Prasida Shastri was at Jodhpur he inquired if
any descendants of Chand Kavi were still living, and he met
with Pandit Nanu Rim Brahmabhat, who is lineally descended
from Cand Kavi and still lives on the income of the lands
granted to the Kavi at Nagore by Prithwiraj himself. Nanu
Ram’s version is that the original Prithwiraj-rasa extended to
only 5,000 verses but that Chand’s descendants went on adding
to the work till it reached the enormous extent in which it is
now found. All those portions of the poem in which Chand’s
wife is introduced were added by his sons, and the additions
continued till Akbar’s time. Nanu Ram was very anxious to
come to Calcutta and show the manuscript of the original
to the Asiatic Society. But his appointment by the Jodhpur
State as one of the travelling pandits engaged in the search
of Bardic songs prevented his coming. He has however given
the Shastri copies of 4 or 5 of the Samayas of the original
which fully bear out his statements. Efforts will be m
procure copies of the rest of the original manuscript.

Mr. Justice Mookerjee read an address drawn up by the
retiring President, Mr. T. H. D. LaTouche.

Presidential Address, 1911.

It has been the custom of late years for the retiring Presi-
dent of this Society to prepare and read before you at the
Annual Meeting a review of the work that has been done dur-
ing his year of office; and under ordinary circumstances I

your President, and the difficulty under which I labour of
obtaining the materials necessary for the compilation of a com-
plete account of the work accomplished by the Society during
the past year, lead me now to crave your indulgence if I allude
to these matters in a cursory manner only ; and on the present
occasion, for reasons that I shall presently put forward, deal
rather with the future, directing your attention to those lines
along which, as I humbly conceive it, the Society should ad-
vance, in order that the purpose for which it came into being
may be accomplished in accordance with the lofty aspirations
of its Founder. :

XXXil Presidential Address. [February, 1911,

I think I may safely say that in the quantity and quality
of output, both in literary and scientific work, the past year
has shown no diminution in activity in comparison with any of
those that have preceded it. Numerous papers have been
published in our Journal and Memoirs, some of them possess-

Governments of India, Bengal, and Assam, who by their bene-
factions have enabled the Society to perform this duty in a
more adequate manner than could have been possible if it had
had to rely upon its unaided resources.

In addition to these publications and collections, which
may be said to represent the fundamental and customary work
of the Society, especially on its literary side, an attempt has
been made to expand its sphere of usefulness by the admission
of the general public to lectures, illustrated when possible, by
lantern slides, on various subjects of common interest. Al-
though these lectures did not form an entirely new departure
as regards the year now closing, for one or two had been given

Society’s functions, at least during the cold weather. For
such is the success that has attended these lectures, and 80

opportunities of acquiring some knowledge of subjects uncon
nected with their daily avocations, that every effort should

made to carry them on. At any rate the experiment, so far as
it has gone, has shown that there is no lack, either of subjects
oe for such lectures, or of men able and willing to deliver

Another was given by Dr. Denison Ross on the life and work
of the celebrated Hungarian Csoma de Koros, whose zeal and
energy in prosecuting an enquiry into the ancestry of his race
led him, many years ago, to undertake a journey on foot from
his native land to India, a journey that, even at the present
day, would be fraught with no slight hardship and peril, and
whose researches into the language and topography of that
then little-known land, Tibet, have enriched the pages of our
Journal. It may not be out of place to mention that Dr. Ross’
lecture at once attracted much attention in Hungary, where
the name of their compatriot is deservedly honoured by men
of letters.

Other lectures included one by Colonel Phillott on the
Memoirs of Sepoy Sita Ram (A.D. 1797—1860), a Sepoy who,
early in the last century, took service under John Company,
and survived to witness and record the exciting scenes of
the Mutiny; another by Prof. Harrison, on that most interest-
ing phenomenon, Halley’s Comet, whose appearance enabled

bodies upon the destinies of the human race, no one can fail to
be struck by the fact that this comet’s latest manifestation
coincided with an event which, to the sorrow of the nation,
may lay claim to be considered as of no less importance than
many of those which have attended its baleful progress in the
past; need I say that I allude to the death of our beloved
Sovereign, Edward VII. And, lastly, I have to mention a lec-
ture by myself on the effects which, as I venture to think,
were produced even in these low latitudes by the general re-
frigeration of climate over the northern hemisphere known as
the ‘Glacial Period,” during the progress of which, in all
probability, the culminating point in the slow evolution of
living organisms was reached with the appearance of man upon
the surface of the earth. It is possible, as I endeavoured to
show, that even at the present day the vagaries of the great
rivers of the Indo-Gangetic plain may be affected by the pecu-
liar conditions that prevailed during that far-off time.

An event to which allusion should also be made is the addi-

desert. Only three leaves of this manuscript are known to be
in existence, besides those now in the possession of the Society.
One of these is preserved in the Ethnographical Museum at
Berlin, while the other two were procured by Prof. Ellsworth

Huntington, who has given photographic reproductions of them
in his book ‘‘ The Pulse of Asia.’’ The peculiar interest of
these manuscripts lies in the fact that, although they are
written in the ancient Gupta character, the language has so far
resisted the efforts of those who have endeavoured to decipher
it ; and it is to be hoped that to some of the learned scholars

: aving thus, very inadequately I fear, drawn your atten-

would not be inappropriate on the present occasion to glance
forward ;—and for this reason especially, that we are about to
take a step, the importance of which can hardly be overrated,
perhaps one of the most momentous in the long and distin-
guished history of the Society. The building in which out
meetings have been held for just over a hundred years, and for
so long has been one of the landmarks of Calcutta, has for
some time been in so unsound a state that to continue to how

our most valuable library within its walls would stigmatize the
Society as being callous to the preservation of their great. col-
lection of books, manuscripts, and works of art, the most
complete that exists in Asia,— a collection that has furnished
those of us who are willing to make use of it, not only with all
that is most instructive amongst the productions of the last
century and a quarter in the domains of literature and science,
but also with a series of records of the ancient literature of the

undertaking this duty. The present building was erected in
1807, at a cost of Rs. 30,000, raised by a special subscription
among the members, and for the greater part of a century ful-
filled its purpose admirably ; but the ravages of time, and
especially the great earthquake of 1897, have had no more res-
pect for this structure, in spite of its scientific character, than
for any of the older houses of Calcutta, and the constant
repairs that have been necessary of late years to keep it from
falling to pieces have been a continuous drain upon our re-
sources, and an ever-present source of anxiety to the Council.
During the last 15 years some Rs. 30,000 have been spent for
this object, that is to say, as much as the original cost of the
building.

However reluctant we may be to see our old home demo-
lished ,—to substitute for the hall which has re-ec the
discourses of the most learned men in India for more than a
hundred years a new and unfamiliar meeting-place,—the time
has come when it would be a criminal act on our part to hesi-
tate in making the sacrifice. The Council has long and
earnestly deliberated on the best course to pursue. In the first
instance a scheme was drawn up, under which a building was

bark upon a speculation of this kind, which might result in
success, if the existing pressure upon the available house accom-
modation in Calcutta were to continue ; but, on the other hand,
if the supply of such accommodation were to exceed the de-
mand, might end in disaster. Having regard also to the great

value of the library, the risk of fire, if inflammable matter were
stored in the shops, or if irresponsible lodgers were permitted
to occupy a part of the building, was felt to be one that should
not be incurred.

his scheme was therefore rejected. But at the same time
it was felt that it would be inadvisable to spend the whole of
the Society’s invested funds upon even so laudable an object ;
since the interest on these funds supplies a considerable portion
of the revenue necessary for the due performance of its work.
So greatly have conditions changed within the last hundred
years, that it would no longer be possible to erect a building,
even of much smaller dimensions than that which we at present
occupy, for the comparatively small sum that it cost. Yet it
was felt that if we were to build at all, our house of learning
should be worthy of its purpose ; not only an ornament to this
great city, but if possible, such as to afford accommodation for
the other Societies which from time to time are founded in 0
midst. Financially, the Society is in a sound enough position
to have carried out this purpose without external aid. The
membership is now,—thanks to a very large extent to the ac-
cession of members belonging to the profession of medicine,
which has followed upon the institution of a special Medical
Section,—greater and increasing in a greater ratio than ever
before in the history of the Society, and our invested funds now
amount to about two lakhs of rupees. But, for reasons whic
I have already given, the Council was unwilling that these
funds should be depleted, and it was resolved that the Govern-
ment of India should be asked to advance a sum adequate for
the purpose, to be repaid by instalments. The Council were

confident that this appeal would meet with a generous response, —

because the preservation of a library such as ours 18, without

were not unfounded. It is true that the Government of indie
have not seen their way to advance the whole of the sum asked

generously offered a free grant of Rs. 40,000, thus relieving the
Society of the necessity of making provision for the repay ment
of a loan, and this offer has been gratefully accepted. he

fore that during the current year the change will be carried into
effect; and that soon after, if not at the next’ Annual Meet-
ing, my successor will be able to greet you ina new and more
commodious edifice. It will always be a source of much grati-
fication to myself that it was during my term of office that this
important step was taken, one which, I am convinced, will
result in much benefit to the Society ; and that I was privileged
to assist in bringing the matter to what I trust will prove a
successful conclusion.

A new departure of this magnitude suggests to my mind
certain observations on the future progress of the Society (long
may it continue to flourish!), which I may perhaps venture to
put forward now, since this is the last occasion on which, in all
probability, I shall have the opportunity of addressing you.
For many years after the foundation of the Society, its publi-
cations were almost the only medium through which the re-
searches of those who gave themselves to the study of the
science and literature of this vast country could be given to the
world ; at least this is true of the greater portion of India.

that the Society should, to that extent, be deprived of some of
its importance. First the Geologists, then the Meteorologists,
Zoologists, Botanists, and Archeologists, who formerly contri-
buted much valuable matter to the pages of our Journal, estab-
lished their own Records and Memoirs, and for some years the

the Society, for the publication of the results of enquiries into
the ancient civilization and history of India must be regarded
as of the utmost importance ; yet I do not see why the equally
important results of scientific research should be comparatively
neglected. The scientific Departments publish the facts; but
usually so wrapped up in technical language or 'n such minute
detail that, to the uninitiated, they become either wearisome
or perhaps hardly intelligible. And yet it 1s quite possible to
present the essential facts brought to light by these investiga-
tions in such a form, that even those who are unacquainted
with the methods or with the peculiar dialect employed may be
instructed and interested. Our lectures constitute a useful step
in this direction ; but I should like to see an attempt made to

esting matter might be made more appetizing and available to
its readers

India and Burma, to give up many of their ancient customs
and beliefs, and to adopt those of their more enlightened’
neighbours. No doubt masses of information on these points
are to be found in the periodical reports issued by the Census
Commission ; but how few people, immersed as they are in their
own affairs, take the trouble to wade through these reports, in
order to extract the few items that may appeal to them. The
majority, I imagine, content themselves with the reviews fur-
nished by the newspapers, in which it is hardly possible that
more than the merest allusion should be made to the most
striking points contained in the original documents. Perhaps
it would be too much to expect our divisional Secretaries, who
are all busily employed on their own branches of study, to
make these extracts themselves; but there seems to be no
reason why Committees of two or three members each should
not be appointed, charged with the duty of keeping the
members of the Society informed of the progress that is being

tem, one that has been established in the country by an alien
race, anxious to impress Western ideas

from their own ; and every serious contribution to the discus-
sion that has already arisen with regard to the direction that
these changes should take cannot fail to be useful. Th
ciety numbers among its members many learned men of India,
all of whom have passed through the educational mill under
its present working conditions, and surely some of them are
capable of expressing what, from their point of view, constitute
the most glaring defects of the system. It s to me that
the Society would fail in its duty if it did not at least attempt
to guide public opinion in this matter ; one which, although of
a somewhat controversial character, is or should be entirely dis-
sociated from political questions, and seems to belong most
appropriately to the province occupied by a learned body such
as this.

These are not the only directions in which I think that the
Society might and ought to exercise its influence, but I have
perhaps said enough for my present purpose, that is, to impress

perfection. The aim of the Society from the beginning
been a high one; no less, as we learn from the oft-quoted
words of our Founder, than the investigation of all that per-
tains to the operations of Man and Nature in Asia. The field
of research that still lies open before you, in spite of the advance

ein human knowledge since our Society was founded a
century and a quarter ago, is a vast one. And I fervently
trust that future years will bring to the Society, not only pros-
perity along the lines on which it has hitherto travelled, but
an increase of activity and influence proportionate to its long
and useful career in the past.

Mr. Justice Mookerjee then delivered an address on the
work of the Society during the last year.

Vice-President’s Address.

In the course of the last five years, the duty has devolved
on me several times to address the Society on the occasion of
our annual gathering, and I am deeply sensible of the indul-
gence with which my imperfect survey of the progress of our
work has been always received. In the present instance, the
nteresting address prepared by our retiring President indicates

various channels into which the activity of our members may
be turned during the second century of our existence; but his
absence from the country since October last has rendered it
impossible for him to deal adequately with the history of the
last twelve months. I trust, therefore, I may claim your for-
bearance if I occupy a few minutes of your time with a brie
review of the chief features of the work in which we have been
engaged during the last year. But before I do so, I hope I
may be permitted to refer fora moment to two matters of
some importance in connection with what I may call the inter-
nal administration of the Society. In’ the first place, it isa —
matter for congratulation that the steady increase in the roll
of our members has been distinctly maintained during the last
year. For the first time in the history of the Society, the num-
ber of our members exceeds five hundred, and if we make a
comparison with the number as it stood five years ago, the in-
crease during the period has been fully 40 per cent. This is
arate of development of which the most prosperous Societies
may be proud, and it isa matter for rejoicing that the acces-
sion of our strength is due in a large measure to the members
of the medical profession. Their needs are now sedulously
watched by our distinguished medical secretary, and I venture
to express the hope that this new source of supply will not
fail us in the future. The strain upon the finances of the So-
ciety must necessarily be great, if its work as a learned institu-
tion is to be performed on a scale commensurate with its pas
reputation, and we trust that, with the advancement of know-
ledge, there will be a wider appreciation of our work, and a
greater readiness on the part of all men of culture to join our
ranks. In the second place, as explained in the address of our
President, the Council of the Society has arrived at a satisfac-

function and dignity of the Society to engage in building spec
lation. The Council has consequently decided, and_ thet
Proposals: will shortly be placed before the Society at large,
that a building should be erected sufficient to satisfy our legitl-
mate needs, ‘
rendered feasible, mainly by reason of a generous grant of forty —
thousand rupees to our building fund by the Governme

India. Since the time of the foundation of our Society, it has
been our proud privilege to claim as our patron the head of the
administration in this country, and it is not a mater for sur-
prise that our efforts to extend the bounds of knowledge should
receive adequate encouragement from the State. The cost of
the erection of a new building has not yet been worked out in
full detail, and it is not improbable that we may hereafter be
driven to ask the Government of India to supplement what it
has already so generously given, and we venture to express the
hope that, should such a contingency arise, our application
will meet with sympathetic consideration by the Government of
His Excellency, to whom we are all grateful for the encourage-
ment he has given us by his gracious presence this evening.

et us now turn for a moment to an examination of the
work of the Society during the last twelve months. The feature
of that work which at once arrests the attention is the develop.
ment of what may be compendiously described as Tibetan
studies. On a previous occasion, | ventured to lay stress upon
the importance of the study of Tibetan sources for tlie dis-
covery of unexplored materials which might illuminate many a
dark corner in Indian history and antiquities. It is now well
known that the secluded monks of Tibet carried away from
India during, what may be called the dark ages of Indian his-
tory, valuable works in different departments of Sanskrit learn-
ing which have been preserved in Tibet, sometimes in original,
sometimes in translation, though the originals have been com-
pletely lost in the country of their birth. The recovery of lost
Sanskrit works from Tibetan sources—and similar observations,
I may add, apply to Chinese sources—is a matter of consider-
able interest and importance. I confess, therefore, that every
effort made for the promotion of Tibetan studies amengst our
scholars, every facility given in this direction, appeals to my
sympathy and imagination. We opened the last year with an

During the last year also, we have made satisfactory arrange-
ments for the re-publication in a collected form of the papers of
Csoma de Koros, and actually brought out the first part of his

possession for more than three quarters of a century. This

Csoma de Koros. The work is under the competent editorship
of Dr. Denison Ross and Dr. Satis Chandra Vidyabhusana, and
will have the advantage of a masterly introduction by the first-
named scholar. In this connection, it is interesting to note
that arrangements have been made by the Society to place
two new marble tablets, one in English, the other in Hung-
arian, upon the tomb of Csoma de Koros at Darjeeling. It is
but meet that the Society should do honour to the memory of
one of our most distinguished members whose works have added
to our renown ; and we can easily imagine how enraptured his
soul would have been, if he could re-visit the scene of his

astronomy, astrology, medicine, alchemy and the mechanical
arts. It is an interesting fact that as the art of printing had been
introduced into Tibet from China in very early times, this vast

teenth century. His grandson, Kublai Khan, extended his
sway over the whole of Central Asia inclusive of Tibet, and
some glimpses of the extent of his Empire may be gathered
from the writings of the celebrated Venetian traveller Marco
Polo. This Kublai Khan was apparently a man of culture, and
invited a Tibetan Lama to his Court to assist him in the forma-
tion of an alphabet for the Mongolian language. In return for
his services, Kublai Khan made the Lama the tributary sover-
eign of Tibet and spiritual head of the Tibetan Church. Th
Lama thus placed in a position of authority, employed the sage
Buton to enrich the Tibetan language by translations from
Chinese and Sanskrit sources. The work was rendered possible
y the presence in Tibet of a number of Buddhist Sanskritists
who had crossed the Himalayas from India and taken refuge
in Tibet on the sack of the University of Vikramsila by Bakh-
tear Khiliji. The compilation of the work was thus facilitated
by what was then rightly treated in India as a calamity to the
cause of Sanskrit and Buddhist learning ; and the permanent
preservation of the fruits of the joint labours of the Indian
' Pundits and the Tibetan Lamas was secured by the art of
printing which had been introduced into Tibet from China in
the seventh century of the Christian era, and had obviously
attained considerable development. The two encyclopedias I
have mentioned, whose contents have not up to the present
time been exhaustively scrutinized, are known to embody works
in various departments of Sanskrit learning, the originals of
which can no longer be traced in this country. It is, therefore,
obviously a matter for congratulation that such an unexplor
field of research should be placed within the reach of our mem-
bers. Copies of the Tangyur are very rare on this side of the
Himalayas; so far as I know, there are only two sets, both of
them in inaccessible monasteries at Sikim, and some years ago,
one of our members considered himself extremely fortunate
when after considerable hardship and expense he obtained an
access to these monasteries, and was allowed as a special favour
to take notes from the encyclopedia. European scholars,

the work. Dr. Cordier has also recently published a volume of
nominal catalogue, and it is understood that Mr. Thomas is en-
gaged in London on a similar task. Here manifestly is an ex-
tensive field of research, where the laborious scholar may hope
to find profitable work, and no one need regret that he was not
born in the last century when Indian studies were still in their
infancy. I sincerely trust that our young men will take, in
large numbers, to the study of Tibetan, which, under the sanc-
tion of the Government of India, is now recognized by the Uni-
versity of Calcutta as one of the subjects of examination.

Let us now turn our attention to the work done by our
members during the last year in the field of Indian Philology,
History and Antiquities. Here, again, we have fortunately
acquired what must be deemed an invaluable treasure from the
desert of Central Asia. Our Philological Secretary was able to
secure for us six old leaves, written in Brahmi characters, be
longing to a very old Puthi found by Mr. Karain the Takla
Makan Desert. Three other leaves are known to exist, two
in Chicago, and one in Berlin; the latter has been deci-

bhusana. Their papers raise important questions in connection
with ancient and mediaeval Indian History, and topics such
4s supposed reference to Babylon in the Rig Veda, the causes
of the downfall of the Empire of Asoka or the date when the cele-
brated poet Asva Ghosha flourished, must obviously be deem

highly controversial. Other writers, amongst whom may be

February, 1911.] Vice-President’ s Address, xly

while the third has traced evidence of Hindu architectural
ideals in the early Mahomedan Mosques of Bengal. Dr. Satis
Chandra Vidyabhusana has continued his researches in the fas-
cinating subject of the history of medieval Indian Logic, and

the only work extant on Brahminic Logic of the Middle Ages,
Pariksha Mokshasutra of the Digambar Jains, Nyayavatara of

Logic, a subject hitherto involved in much obscurity. In this
connection, reference must be made to an interesting paper on
Hindu Logic by Prof. Vanamali Chakravarti, in which he dis-
cusses the various theories concerning the standards of right
knowledge as laid down by Indian logicians. Of a very different
character is the Memoir on Monuments in Afghanistan by Mr.
Hayden, embodying a masterly investigation which cannot fail
to rouse the interest of all serious students of Mahomedan
Archaeology. In the field of Arabic and Persian studies also,
notable work has been accomplished. Moulavi Abdul Wali has
edited for the first time a complete collection of the Quatrains
of Abu Said Ibn Abul Khair. of which a fragment only had been
published in the proceedings of the Munich Academy, thirty-
five years ago, by Prof. Ethé. Of fascinating interest is the
collection of poems of Emperor Babur edited by Dr. Denison
Ross from the interesting manuscript in the library of the
Nawab of Rampore, which is in part in the autograph of the
illustrious Royal author. Partly scientific and partly philo-
logical in character is the contribution by Mr. Stapleton and Mr.
Azoo in which they give us a study of an alchemical compila-
tion of the thirteenth century. In the field of the natural and
physical sciences, there have been numerous papers which treat
of various points of interest to the investigator, but I trust I
may without impropriety mention two of these as of special
value. The report of the Committee on the adoption of a stan-
dard temperature for laboratory work in India is of the great-
est practical utility to all scientific investigators in the Tropics,
and we are indebted to Prof. Bruhl for directing attention to

crops ; the subject is obviously one of far-reaching interest and
deserves extended investigation. ;
There is only one other matter which demands special
mention on the present occasion. I refer to the work in aid of
the search for Sanskrit, Arabic and Persian Manuscripts. The
importance of this undertaking cannot be over-estimated, as

xlvi Vice-President’s Address. [February, 1911.

the rapidity with which manuscripts in the climate of this
country are destroyed, renders it the imperative duty of the
State to take early and adequate steps for their rescue and
preservation. Ihave never concealed my opinion that the
sums annually placed at our disposal are by no means adequate
to meet the exigencies of the situation. The report of the pro-
gress of the search during the last year in its two departments,
under the respective direction of M. M. Haraprasad Sastri and
Dr. Denison Ross, will satisfy the most superficial reader that
the limited means under our control have been judiciously and
effectively applied. In the field of Sanskrit literature, we have
been able to secure manuscripts from 800 to 1000 years old, while
six-hundred and twenty-five manuscripts have been examined
with a view to acquisition, but, for want of funds, have not yet
been purchased. Similarly, in the Arabic and Persian Depart-
ment, though several valuable manuscripts were secured, not-
ably a commentary on the well-known Arabic work Safia, our
operations were considerably restricted on account of want of
funds. We have also a faint indication of the valuable and
hitherto unutilized materials for the history of ancient and
mediaeval India which may be available if a vigorous search is
instituted in the Rajput States, and among others it may yet
be possible to recover the celebrated work Prithiraj Rasau in
its pristine purity. I trust I may be permitted without impro-
priety to dwell upon the circumstance that the onerous work
which is done by distinguished scholars in aid of the search for
these manuscripts is entirely honorary, and their labours have
never been remunerated from private funds or public revenues ;
this, I venture to think, substantially strengthens our claim
upon the Government for additional funds to expedite the
search and thus rescue from destruction materials for future

Kovt.

visited and seen myself, and in regard to others which I have
not been able to visit I have ascertained facts from different

to in regard to places mentioned below, has been omitted by
me. There are other places about which wonderful stories are
told, but I have omitted them also, as I was not able to visit
them myself, nor any trustworthy person could corroborate to
me the stories told of them. I give the information I have
collected with the object that it may draw the attention of some
scientist who may explain away these freaks of Nature. :

. Amar Ndth.—There is a cave in the eastern mountains
eight marches from Srinagar, in which a lingam of ice is by
itself formed, which, it is said, waxes and wanes with the moon
every month. A fair is held here every year on the full-moon
day of the month of Sawan (July-August) at which thousands
of Hindu pilgrims from Kashmir and different parts of India
come to worship. It is said there exists a cave in the
mountains further east of Amar Nath and also in the mountains
above Bandipura where similar lingdms of ice are formed.

_ Tulamul in Lér—There is a spring at this village, the
water of which changes colour every now and then. Sometimes
it is purple, sometimes green, and so on. ‘The Hindus worship
here. A large fair is held each month on the 8th and 15th days
of the bright fortnight, specially of Jeth (May-June).

. At Takar in Uttar Machhipura there is a spring, the

] Proceedings of the Asiatic Society of Bengal. |¥Feb., 1911.

water of which, like the Tulamul spring, changes colour every
now and then.

4. Trisandhya or Sunda-brari.—This is the name of an
intermittent spring to the south of the Divalgam village in
Brang. It remains dry all the year round except in the months
of Baisakh and Jeth (April-June). At first the water flows out
from it continuously for some days as from an ordinary spring
and then it does so at intervals, that is to say, the spring
becomes quite void of water and then water reappears therein
and flows out of it. This intermittance occurs several times in
24 hours, until in course of time the number of ebb and flow
gradually dwindles down to none. A Persian poet has written
the following couplet describing this spring :—

Turfa’aine hast dar Kashmir némash Sunda-brar
Amad-o-rafte ’ajab darad ba roz-o-shab sih hdl.

5. Rudra-Sandhya —This is also a spring like Trisandhya,
dry during the whole year but flowing with water continuously
for some days and then getting void of it at intervals during
the months of Baisakh and Jeth (April=June). It is six miles
from Vernag towards the west.

6. Vdsukndg.—This is a large spring, six miles further
west from Rudra-Sandhya. It remains quite dry for six
months of winter but flowing with water (which forms a big
stream irrigating a large area) for six months of summer.

7. There is a spring situated five miles to the east of
Vernig which is called Pavana-Sandhya. It ebbs and flows

following couplet :—

Chishmae digar ba Kashmir ast namash Pavana-Sand
Hast har dam émad o raftash chu anfase rajdl.

8. Sata Rishi—These are seven springs close to one
another at Vithavatur near Verndg, which, like Vasuknag,
remain dry for six months of winter and flowing with water for
summer months.

: Op. Ak Halamatpura in Uttar Machhipura there are five
springs near one another. A lingdm of stone is in one of thes?

se the lingém (which does not stand vertical but is lying im
ponerse position) in the bed of the spring rolls down slowl}
tate higher to the lower corner under the law of gravr

10. At Dubjan in Shupayan there is a spring called
tere the water of which is wa rm.

In Brang there is a spring at the village Gagar-
Tshunda near Larikpura which is called Kon-nég by the Muham-
madans and Sité-kund by the Hindus. Some of the fish therein
are blind in one eye.

12. In Lar is the lofty mountain called Harmukh.
popular notion is that a snake within sight of this meen orng
will not bite

There i is a cave temple, called Dydneshvar, 12 miles to
the east from Bandipura in Arin Nullah, in which there is a
stone image of a cow on its ceiling, from whose udders water
oozes out and falls down below

There is a cave at Bumzu to the north of Mattan, the
length of which none has yet been able to find. Another
similar cave exists at Biru in which the famous ascetic and
philosopher Abhinaugupta together with his 1,200 disciples is
said to have entered reciting the well-known hymn—

and to have not returned.
15. There is a place called Svayambhu or Suyam, half a
mile to the south-west of the village Nichihom in Machhipura,

heated for a year or so. The Hindus then go there on pilgrim-

. Rice with water in pots, buried to neck into the earth,
gets cooked by this heat, and the Hindus oot a of rice,
thus cooked, in the name of their deceased re A flame
is also produced by pouring down ghee and cat s% a hole dug
into the earth about a foot deep. This is evidently a volcanic
phenomenon.

16. ere is a tiny little island in the midst
Jhelum at Priyég or the junction of the Sindh with the
Jhelum, on which is a small Chenér which does not seen: grow
taller or shorter or bigger, though ages have passed since when
it is there.

17. At the Wuyan village (Ular) there is a spring, bathing
in which has the effect of curing itch. There is also a similar
Spring at Anantndg called Malaknag. Medical men say that
they are thermal springs containing iron and sulphurated
hydrogen.

é 18. There is a spring on the top of the Sarbal mountain
in Koth&ér which is called Tsuhar-nag. The water of it gushes
out with great force, making whirls like the potter’s wheel.

senting a lion chase in which the hunters are clad in armour of
the style of the fifteenth century. The picture is worth men-
tioning because drawings with a similar technique discovered
some time ago near Bijeygarh in Baghelkhand have been as-
cribed to the prehistoric period. In view of the late period of
the Raisen drawing it is most probable that those near Bijeygarh
are also late-medieval, an opinion already advanced in the
Journal of this Society by Mr. J. Cockburn in 1883.

(2) Photographs of some fifteenth century tombs at Gwa-
dar on the Makran Coast, constructed in the Indian style of
Gujrat.

Theer are at Gwadar on the Makran coast some ancient

date 873 Hijri (1468 A.D.). The tombs have been noticed by
previous travellers, but none of the published descriptions give
any account of the peculiarities of their architecture. Their
style is identical with the very remarkable adaptation of Hindu
architecture to Mahommedan buildings that prevailed in Guj-
rat during the rule of the independent Mahommedan Kings in
the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. It seems to indicate that
the influence of the powerful kingdom of Gujrat must have
extended to a considerable distance westward during the latter
part of the fifteenth century.

Dr. N. Annandale exhibited specimens of sponges asso-
ciated with the shells of gregarious molluscs of the family Ver-

sponges, which were of almost stony hardness, formed irre-

musk deer, the wild cat (Felis chaus), the himalayan cat-
bear (Aelurus fulgens) which he called Optunga, and the
hybrid of the Yak with a cow. Most of the skins he obtains
from hunters. There were dried skulls or parts of skulls of

pe Satya Vrata Samewen (A.D. 1846—1911).

ndit Satyavrata Samasrami was born in Patna on the

28th May. 1846. His father Babu Ramdas Chatterji held
several responsible posts under the British Government in
Monghyr and Patna, and had considerable landed property.
To help the introduction of Vedic lea arning in Bengal, he
removed his family to Benares and placed his son, eight -years
old, under the instruction of Gauda Svami, the head of the
Sarasvati Matha, and of Pandit Nandaram Trivedi. Satya-
vrata completed ‘his studies in 1866 and received the title of
‘*Samasrami’’, or ‘‘ scholar of the Sama Veda’’, from the
Maharaja of Bundi with the consent of ~~ ateig sistiog!
Pandits of his court

Then the young Vedic scholar with about a hundred pupils
spent the following two. years in travel, visiting various holy
places of Northern India, among which may be mentioned
Ayodhya, Kanauj, Kampilla, Jeypur, Naimisharanya, Hurd-
‘war, Guzrat, and Kas

"Returning to. ROG in. 1868, he married ‘the grand-
daughter of. Pandit Brajanath Vidyaratna, ‘the leading Smarta
of Navadvipa. In 1870, he commenced to edit a Journal under
the. name-of Pratna: Kamra Nandini- for the publication of

exiv Proceedings of the Asiatic Society of Bengal. [July,

Vedic works. At the instance of Raja Dr. Rajendralala Mitra
in the same year he was engaged by the Asiatic Society of
Bengal to edit the Sama Veda Samhita for the Bibliotheca
Indica. After the death of his father, he brought his family
from Benares to Calcutta and applied himself to the diffusion
of Vedic learning in Bengal. At his residence he kept pupils
and gave them free board and tuition. He contributed to
Bibliotheca Indica a new edition of the Nirukta. In 1889,
he commenced publishing a new Vedic Journal, the Usha. He
contributed also to the Bibliotheca Indica an edition of
Aitareya Brahmana, Taittiriya Samhita and Satapatha Brah-
mana. From his own press he published in Bengali character
the Samaveda, the Yajurveda and several Brahmanas and
Vedangas. Besides his editions of Sanskrit works of Poetry
and Philosophy, and his original Compositions in the Sanskrit
and Bengali languages, he edited a Buddhist work, Karanda
Vyuha, with a Bengali translation by himself as well as a few
of the Jaina Scriptures.

As a Vedic scholar:he was without a rival in Bengal,
and carried out his father’s idea of reviving Vedic learning in
the land of his birth, He was an Honorary Member of the
Asiatic Society of Bengal. He was appointed examiner in
connection with the Government Sanskrit Title Examinations
in Bengal. To give effect to the New Regulations of the
Calcutta University he was appointed University lecturer and
an examiner in the Vedas.

After suffering from Apoplexy for about six months he
breathed his last on the first of June last, leaving a brother,
a sons and a large circle of pupils and admirers to mourn

Dr. N. Annandale exhibited a very large snake of Genus
Bingarus forwarded by Major O. A. Smith, and said :—

‘*T have been asked by our Honorary Secretary to exhibit
this specimen, which was killed at Hazaribagh in Chota Nag-
pur. It is an unusually large representative of the Common
Krait, now measuring 4 feet 44 inches, although I understand
- it measured 4 feet 63% inches fresh. The record specimen of
the species measured 4 feet 64 inches (vide Wall, Poisonous
Terrestrial Snakes of our British Indian Dominions, 2nd Ed.,
p. 24, 1908), whether fresh or in spirit is not stated. I take
this opportunity to make a few remarks about an allied species,
B. sindanus, Boulenger, distinguished from the Common Krait
by its (usually) larger size and by the fact that it has seventeen
or nineteen rows of lateral and dorsal scales instead of fifteen.
This species was described in 1898, and was for long believed
to be peculiar to Sind. Some years later, however, Major
F. Wall named another so-called species B. walli, although it
differed little from B. sindanus, of which only a few specimens
were then known, except in colour and in the number of
ventral and subcaudal scales, both variable characters. On the
evidence then available it might have been thought possible
that B. walli was an eastern race of B. sindanus peculiar to the
valley of the Ganges, but Major Wall has recently demolished
this evidence by describing from Baluchistan specimens much
nearer B. sindanus than the pseudo-species B. walli in scale
characters (Journ. Bombay Nat. Hist. Soc., XX, p. 1040, 1911).
He would still maintain the latter as a distinct species on the
ground that it differs slightly in colour, form of body and
maximum size, but these are not characters which can in any
circumstance be regarded as intrinsically of specific importance
in the Ophidia. I believe, therefore, that B. walli is merely a
synonym of B. sindanus, and that the species which must b
known by the latter name extends all over Northern India
from Baluchistan to Lower Bengal, perhaps avoiding the
damper parts of the country.”’

The General Secretary reported the death of Prof. Charles
Meldrum, Special Honorary Centenary ! Member of the Society. -

The General Secretary also reported the death of Prof.
J. A. Cunningham and Mr. C. H. Browning, Ordinary Members
of the Society.

The General Secretary also reported that Mr. J. R. Barrow
and Mr. J. R. Cunningham have expressed a wish to withdraw
from the Society.

The Council reported that there were five vacancies in the
list of Honorary Fellows, and the Council therefore recommend-
ed Dr A. Engler, Lieut. -Colonel A. W. Alcock, Sir Clements
Markham, Prof. E. Browne and Mahizsehdpadiiyye
Yoel Nath Tarkabagis, for election as Honorary Fellows.

r. A. Engler was born in Silesia in 1844, and took his
Doctor’s degree at Breslau in 1866. In the same year he
became Reader in Botany at the Magdalenum Gymnasium in
Breslau. In 1871 he became Keeper of the State Institute in

him a Doctor’s degree in 1904.

He has travelled widely for the sake of studying vegeta-

___Lastly, it is to be added that Dr. Engler has carried out,
since he was called to Berlin, the removal of the University
Botanic Garden from a smoky square in that great city to 4

Alfred William Alcock was born in England in 1859 and
was educated at Westminster School. After some years
spent in India he took up the study of medicine in the
University of Aberdeen, in which he was appointed Assistant
Professor of Zoology in 1883. In 1885 he joined the Indian
Medical Service, and from 1886 to 1888 served as medical
officer with the Punjab Frontier Force. He was appointed
Surgeon Naturalist to the Marine Survey of India in the
latter year and held the post for four years, being appointed
Superintendent of the Indian Museum and Professor of Zoology
in the Calcutta Medical College in 1893, a joint post which he
vacated for a short time to serve with the Pamir Boundary
Commission of 1895. It was not until 1907, however, that he
finally retired both from his scientific appointments in Calcutta
and from the Indian Medical Service. Shortly after returning
to England he was appointed Professor of Arthropodology in
the London School of Tropical Medicine, a chair which he
still occupies.

The value of Col. Alcock’s zoological work has been recog-
nized by the distinctions he has received in Europe. He is a
Fellow of the Royal Society, an LL.D. (honoris causa) of the
University of Aberdeen, a Corresponding Member of the Zoolo-

literary skill to write.
Last but not least among his services to the science of
zoology must be reckoned the work he did for the Asiatic
Society of Bengal. Not only were his papers for several years
the most important contributed to our ‘‘Journal’’ so far as
zoology was concerned, but he served as an officer of the

minerals not found elsewhere. The minerals collected here
comprise native lead; the following silicates containing man-
ganese (varieties of manganskarn), schefferite, rhodonite, rich-
terite, tephroite, inesite; the silicate of lead, barysilite; the
ead-manganese silicate, kentrolite; the arsenates of manganese,
berzeltite, allactite ; the lead-manganese arsenate, caryinite; the
lead arsenates, hedyphane, ecdemite; also the oxides of man-
ganese, hausmannite and braunite; and finally the borate of
manganese and magnesium, pinakiolite.

(5) Ganomalite, a lead-manganese silicate, and piedmonitite,
the manganese-epidote, from the Jakobsberg manganese mine.

6) Pyrosmalite, an iron-manganese silicate, and beautiful
crystals of diopside, calcite, and magnetite, from the Nordmark
iron mines.

' Dr. Hope exhibited and described Poecilocoris latus, Dall,
an insect pest of tea.

This insect which feeds on tea seed has been known since
the early days of the Indian tea industry. Mature and im-
mature specimens and eggs will be shown and its feeding habits
described. ;

Recent investigation has indicated that the insect is pro-
bably indirectly responsible for the damage which so often
occurs to tea seed by the development of fungi in and between
the cotyledons.

Dr. Annandale exhibited a freshwater Medusa from the
Western Ghats.

The Medusa was taken by Mr. S. P. Agharkar of the
Elphinstone College, Bombay, in small streams running in the
Satara district into the Krishna river. It is probably identical
with Limnocnida tanganyicae, a species hitherto found only in
the great African lakes and at the mouth of the River Niger.
The specific identity, however, must remain a little doubtful
until fresh specimens have been examined.

‘Mr. Gravely exhibited living Pedipalpi and made the
following remarks on the distribution of the Order.

The Pedipalpi are an Order of Arachnida which take their
name from the fact that the first pair of legs are antenniform

subdivided into two Sub-orders (Oxopoei and Amblypygi) of
which the latter contains one family only (Tarantulidae) and
the former two (Thelyphonidae and Schizomidae). The Thely-

already arrived at the following conclusions.—Taking first the
Thelyphonidae, the denticulation of the first two joints of the
arms is more variable than has commonly been supposed, and
I have reason to believe that that of the first joint anyway has
been determined by the long-continued action of climatic con-
ditions; and it is noteworthy that almost all the other generic
and specific characters are to be found in organs directly com
nected with the processes of reproduction. A somewhat
parallel evolution in some of these organs appears to have
taken place in different genera; and they are apparently & good
index of the degree of specialization found in the several
ecies

ies.
Turning now to those genera which are distinguished by
the presence of a ridge on each side of the head, we find that
@ region including the islands of Sumatra, Java, Borneo,”
Celebes is very much richer in species than any other locality
and with the exception of a single rare species all the forms

found here are of the most highly specialized type. Species of
Thelyphonus belonging to this most highly specialized type are
dominant in the Malay Peninsular and Siam also, though here
they are much fewer in number, but nowhere else unless it be
in the Philippines. The further one looks from the neigh-
bourhood of Borneo, however, the more frequently are less
specialized forms met with, the least specialized of all being
dominant only in Ceylon, the Indian Peninsular, the Eastern
Himalayas, Assam, and Eastern China to the west and north,
and in South America to the east; whilst a species specialized
in an intermediate degree is dominant in the Liu Kiu
Islands and Japan to the north-east; these being the limits
of distribution of the family. This arrangement in what may

as more highly specialized forms were evolved the simpler
ones were pushed further and further outwards.

The distribution of those Thelyphonidae which are distin-
guished from the ones already dealt with by the absence of
ridges at the sides of the head between the median and lateral
eyes, suggests that these were originally centred in much the
same place as the others, and that they have been entirely
pushed outwards by them; for they are now known with
certainty only in the moister parts of Ceylon and the west
coast of India, in and around Burma, and in 8. America.
When the migrations resulting in the present distribution of
the family commenced therefore, the prototypes of the two
principal divisions into which the Thelyphonidae naturally fall
appear to have been already distinct from one another; and,
from the minuteness with which (at most) any Thelyphonid

species or groups of species. eir o rende
highly probable by the fact that the closely allied Geralinuridae
occur in the Coal Measures of Britain. The two prototypes
of the Thelyphonidae as we know them to-day were probably

purely American, one of which extends from East Africa across
_ tropical Asia to Indo-China; whilst the remaining one extends
frum the Seychelles to Galapogos, being centred Jike the
Thelyphonidae, in the Malaysian region. There is some indi-
cation that this last sub-family may also have spread out-
wards from the neighbourhood of Borneo; but the direction
which their evolution has taken is less clearly indicated than
in the Thelyphonidae, and the evidence is consequently incon-
clusive at present.

Harinath De was born on 12th August 1877. His father,
Rai Bahadur Bhutnath De, was a distinguished pleader in the
Central Provinces. Harinath De had a remarkable university
career. He was almost invariably in the first class in all his
examinations, in India or in Europe. He was the recipient
of many medals, prizes and scholarships. He passed his
Entrance and F.A. examinations from St. Xavier’s College
securing the Duff Scholarship for languages. Graduating i in
1896 he obtained first-class honours in English and Latin. The
same year he obtained his M.A. degree os Latin. He also
passed the “sine M.A. examination in Greek. As a result of
his achievements he was awarded the Gaveninient of India
State Scholarship of £200 per annum for four years. With
this assistance he went to Cambridge in 1897 where he passed
the Classical and Medieval and Modern Languages Triposes
in the first and second class. Later he obtained the Skeats
prize and the Chancellor’s Gold Medal for classical verse.
While in Europe he studied at the Universities of the Sor-
bonne, Marbourg and elsewhere, acquiring that mastery over

Oates attributed this disparity to climatic influences.

He says the immense size of the Himalayan birds is due to

their being dwellers ‘‘in a cold, bracing climate,’’ whereas the

phere ’’—have dwindled down to a small size as compared with
the former. If correctly, then how can the contrary difference
observed in the jungle crow be explained? For, in the case
of the jungle crow (Corvus macrorhynchus), individuals from the
North-Western Himalaya are actually smaller than those from
Southern Hindustan and Burma.

It can hardly be that the Himalayan Raven is better fed
than the Plains Raven. Bower remarked in his ‘‘ Across
Tibet’’ that it was hard to know on what they ordinarily
lived. They came about his camps; ‘‘ and are not shy birds,’’
as Oates says. The author has collected the evidence of several
travellers to their boldness.

There is a need for extended observations on the Himalayan
Raven—(i) to what extent does it show a slight seasonal
migration ? (ii) when does it nest ?—Mandelli took the eggs in
Native Sikkim high up towards the snows on March 5th:
Stoliczka noted the bird building on May 4th at Aktash: and
Walton found young on the ledge of a rock near the Kala Tso
Lake in Tibet on April 6th; (iii) does it habitually nest on
cliffs ? and (iv) in successive years on the same site ¢ (v) what is
the number of eggs ? (vi) do both birds share in hatching them ?
and (vii) how long do the young stay in the nest ¢

The author adds some observations on the nidification of
the Plains Raven. Five is the usual number of eggs: they lay
from January to first half of March, but most eggs are to be
taken in February : the eggs vary in length from 1-71” to 2°26",
and in breadth from 1:22” to 1:39”: the nest is built 18—24
feet from the ground of sticks, lined with rags, sheep’s wool,

bits of paper, cow’s hair and grass. Various trees growing in
open, cultivated land are chosen such as Acacia leucophloea,
Dalbergia Sissoo and Albizzia Lebbek. When feeding these
Plains Ravens are sociable, but in the breeding season they seem
to scatter, and probably many cross into Afghanistan. -

Read the following obituary notice of the death of Mr. W.
Irvine :—
_ Mr. William Irvine, an Honorary Fellow of the Society,
was born July 5, 1840, and died November 7, 1911. Edu-
cated at St. Anne’s School, Brixton, and King’s College, Lon-
don, he passed the Indian Civil Service examination in 1862.
In 1863 he arrived in India and was posted to what was then
called the North-West Provinces. He became a member of the
Society in 1866. Being on the theatre of the decline and fall
of the Mogul Empire, his attention was early directed to the
history of that interesting epoch, and his first paper in the

1857). He also made a valuable collection of Persian and
Urdu manuscripts dealing with the period after the death of
Aurangzeb. He retired from the service in 1888. After his
retirement he continued to show his interest in the Society by
contributing articles to the Journal. In 1894 he began his

exxxvi Proceedings of the Asiatic Society of Bengal. [Dec.,

** History of the later Moguls’’ of which the last instalment
was published in 1908, but the author unfortunately did not
lived to complete the series. In 1892 his attention was drawn
to the ‘‘Storia do Mogor’’ by Niccolao Manucci, and several
years after his famous edition of this work was published in the
Indian Text Series. This work will always form a lasting
monument to his scholarly patience and a mine of wealth for
the student of later Mogul times.

rt. William Irvine was elected an Honorary Fellow of
the Society in 1908.

The following gentleman was balloted for as an Ordinary
Member :—

Z. R. Zahid Suhrawardy, Esq., Barrister-at-Law, M.A.,
LL.B., Calcutta, proposed by the Hon. Dr. Abdulla al-Mamun
Suhrawardy, seconded by Lieut,-Colonel D. C. Phillott.

The following papers were read :—

This paper has been published in the Journal for Novem-
ber 1912.

2. Father A. Monserrate’s Mongolicae Legationis Com-
mentarius.—By Rev. H. Hosren, S.J.

_ In 1908, Rev. W. K. Firminger discovered in St. Paul’s
Cathedral Library, Calcutta, a MS. by Father Anthony
Monserrate, s.3., entitled M ongolicae Legationis Commentarius.
He announced his discovery to the Calcutta dailies, and
Mr. W. Corfield wrote a short note in Bengal: Past and Present,
1906, No. 2, p. 184. a

When, in 1909, the MS. was lent me through Rev. Fr.
A. Van de Mergel, s.., I could recognize in it without difficulty

against Kabul (February 1581 to beginning of 1582). Monser-

second son, Prince Murad, and, but for Akbar’s wish that
he should remain in safety at Jalalabad, he might have entered

Kabul with the Emperor’s victorious troops. The value of
the work is further enhanced by the earliest known map of
Northern India. It exhibits the longitude and latitude of all
places passed through by M. on his way to and fro between
Goa—Surat--Agra and Kabul. In fact, it is a marvel of
accuracy for the time. More than a century later, the geog-
raphy cf Northern India had not reached the same degree
of perfection.

y means of the library marks on the MS. it was possible
to trace its history in Calcutta during last century. Before
1$18 the book was in Fort William College (Established :
1800). In 1836 it was transferred to the Metcalfe Hall Collec-
tion, or Calcutta Public Library. When, in 1903, the Calcutta
Public Library had become the Imperial Library, the MS.-—
through an evident oversight of the librarian—was given away
to the St. Paul’s Cathedral Library (Anglican), Calcutta.
Only one press-mark ‘‘ IP46,’’ the oldest in date, remains
unexplained. I suspect that it belongs to one of the former
Jesuit houses of Goa: but it is impossible to establish this in
India, since the Goa of to-day possesses scarcely any relics of
the once valuable libraries of its convents. Through what
strange vicissitudes the MS. made its way to Calcutta it is
impossible to say.

The early bistory of the MS. is extremely interesting.
Father Monserrate tells us in his preface that, when he was
about to proceed to Akbar’s Court at Fathpir Sikri, the
Provincial of Goa, Ruy Vicente, appointed him historian of

daily labour of a chronicler, I have described the various
particulars which my travels and circumstances brought under
my notice. These are: rivers, towns, countries, the customs
and manners of peoples, temples, religions; the leanings—
simulated leanings, it is true—which the king, when we had
come to his Court, manifested towards the religion of Christ,
as also the kindness which, from mere self-interest, he affected
towards Rodolf, to whom had been confided this weighty
Mission, and towards his companions; again, Rodolf’s zeal,
consummate prudence and remarkable erudition, and our
disputations with the Agarenes [Muhammadans, descendants
of Agar]; next, the Chabul war, which was marked by great
tenacity of purpose and superior statesmanship on the part of
Zelaldin [Jalal-ud-din Akbar], and ended successfully by the
flight of Hachim {his brother]; finally, the joyful ovations
that signalized this triumph.”’

On his return to Goa in September (?) 1582, Monserrate
brought with him voluminous notes ‘‘taken down on the
tramp.’’ His friends found them so interesting that they
urged him to cast them into a connected account.

exxxvili Proceedings of the Asiatic Society of Bengal. [Dec.,

From another source we learn that between September and a

_ November 26, 1582, Monserrate made a summary of the chief

topics regarding Akbar, a kind of character-sketch. This

touching at Mascat, he and his companion, Father Peter Paez, —
were intercepted by the Arabs near ‘‘ Dofar,’’ and sent to
Eynan, where ‘King’? Omar kept them in honourable
confinement. He ordered even that Monserrate’s books and
writings should be restored and—a not unprecedented case of
enlightenment in Eastern despots—granted him four months’
leisure to correct his writings and add to them what was still

It is this very MS., written in prison at Senaa in 1590,
which Calcutta may now glory to possess.

Monserrate and Paes’ captivity lasted six years and a half.
Ransomed in August 1596, they wrote from Goa to Rome in
December 1596, announcing their deliverance, and Akbar was
not a little wroth at the conduct of the Arabs, when Fr. Jerome
Xavier read to him a letter of Monserrate, detailing what
they had suffered. p

There can be little doubt that Monserrate brought back to
India this precious MS., or rather, by this time, he had col-

at the end of his captivity in Arabia, or after his return to
Goa—-since he refers to events of 1595, which he could hardly
have learnt in Arabia—he wrote in his preface that the small
appendix he had composed on the Natural History of India
and the customs of the ‘‘ ancient aborigines and indigenes ”’
had now become a book. ‘‘I have divided the work into two

criptions of cities, tombs and ruined temples, his excursions
into the history of the past, or his considerations on Indian
manners and customs. He wished to do away with these
hors-d’ euvre, as he considered them, and worked them out with
other materials in Bk. II, the ‘‘ appendix.” Unfortunately ,
Bk. II remains to be discovered.

None of these 4 volumes was known to our bibliographers,
or to the biographers of Monserrate and Bl. Rudolph Aqua-
viva. No other copy of the Calcutta MS. is known to exist in

hors d’ wuvre, they are of paramount interest to the historian
and the antiquarian, and detract little, if at all, from the con-
tinuity of the story.

cx] Proceedings of the Asiatic Society of Bengal. [Dec.,

It is a remarkable fact that Col. Wilford, a distinguished
orientalist, who died at Benares in 1822, should have pos- :
8 Monserrate’s autograph copy of Bk. IJ. This is
evident from the Latin quotations not found in the Calcutta
MS. which he adduces, as also from the difference of pagina-
tion in both MSS. in the case of a similar passage. The search
which I made in our Calcutta libraries for . IT hes
remained without result. It might be suggested that the
book is still in the possession of Col. Wilford’s descendants. a
If it could be found, the discovery would be scarcely inferior
in importance to that of Bk. I.

There is another mystery which I cannot solve. The
Calcutta MS. was studied—in the beginning of last century, |
believe—by an Englishman, a geographer, a scholar, a man
with all the tastes of a Wilford, yet, I cannot determine
by whom.

which I know one copy among the Marsden MSS. of the British
Museum, and another in the possession of the Society of Jesus.

or some one eise? If Wilford, how is it that he never quotes —

In such a variety of curious information, it is difficult to make
a choice. I may, however, say—since the subject crops up 80
often—that no revelations are to be expected about Jobn

the moment contemplate undertaking a translation. Besides,
the work of the translator and annotator will be one of no
Pyoand difficulty. Several passages almost defy translation,
or the simple reason that we are too little acquainted with the
condition of many things in Monserrate’s time. As a case In

point, I refer to the descriptions of temples, tombs and ruins.
I believe that a translation will do justice to the text only
when a host of scholars will have focussed, on the original, the
light of research.

Monserrate’s Mongolicae Legationis Commentarius will
form the first volume of a series of Jesuit papers on Mogor,
Tibet, Bengal and Burma, which I intend editing under the
patronage of the Asiatic Society of Bengal.

I take this opportunity to thank the Council of our
Society for having sanctioned my application for Rs. 600 to be
spent on procuring from Europe materials for further research,
photographic facsimiles of the letters of the Jesuit Mis-
sionaries in Mogor, Tibet, Bengal and Burma during thie
period 1580-1803. It is but just that I should thank most
heartily our Society for the enlightened encouragement and
patronage which it means to extend to studies which will be of
equal interest to the antiquarian and the historian, religious or
profane.
