: (2) Trinetra, 28 years (Matsya) : Susrama, 38 (Brahmānda, Vishnu, Garuda) : Srama (Bhāgavata) : Suvrata (Vāyu). In this case there is no affinity in form or in meaning and the readings also in the two sets are different: fəaait urta महीम् (M.) against समस्य भविष्यति (V., Br.) It seems that the reign-periods of two kings are incorporated into the figures 28 or 38 and that the Matsya showed preference to Trinetra while the Vāyu and Brahmānda to Susrama. (3) Mahi-netra, 33 years (Matsya) : Sumati, 20 (Våya : , MSS., Br., 33). Again this appears to be a case of incorporating one reignperiod into another, 20 or 23 years of Sumati and the reign of Mahinetra added together into 33. The names too are different. Thus the two last variant sets might represent four instead of two kings. In that case we would be recovering three certain ($ 7), and two probable names out of the ten Bșihadrathas latterly omitted. I take this opportunity to correct a mistake. I took Aprate pa as a variant (J.B.O.R.S., I, 112). But it is really a misspelling of Ayutdyus (No. 3) &s pointed out by Mr. Pargiter. PT., p. 14.

(1) 'Anu-samyana' This term occurs in ' Rock Edict ' III and in the two separate — Edicts' of Kalinga (Jaugadh and Dhauli). Dr. Kern gave it the meaning “ tour of inspection", and others, " assembly". Both interpretations are unsatisfactory. The 'assembly ' interpretation is opposed to the context. Every time anusamyāna occurs it is coupled with a verb' to go out', 'to be turned out': Dhauli. Jaugadh.
