KSATRAPA PERIOD
81
Silver coins were struck by Mahākṣatrapa Ruçlrasena TÍ also.--(G. V.
Acharya, op.cit., 96 ) A.D. Ś. 200--Kşatrapa Viśvasimha struck coins in silver.-( Rapson, ibid., 148 f.; 278.9 D. R. Bhandarkar, op.cit., 227 ff.).
The evidence of coins struck by Visvasimha as Mahākşatrapa as well as by Bhartsdaman as Ksatrapa (D. R. Bhandarkar, ibid.) indicates that the former as Ksatrapa was succeeded by Bhartsdaman as Ksatrapa. And Visvasimha
rose to the status of Mahākṣatrapa during this year. 279-80. S. 2(01)--Silver coins were struck by Ksatrapa Visvasimha (Rapson, ibid.,
149). The date is doubtful, for the king had already risen to the status of Mahākşatrapa in year 200.
S. 201--Silver coins were struck by Bhartņdāman, son of Rudrasena II, as Ksatrapa. The legend is T MATT : 1779 71:1---( Rapson, 153; D. R.
Bhandarkar, op. cit., 227 ff.). 280-2 Ś. 20(2) or 20(3)--Silver coins were struck by Kşatrapa Bhartļdāman
(Rapson, ibid, 154).
In the Saryania hoard, the year 202 is definitely read.-( D. R. Bhandarkar,
op. cit., 227 ff.). 281-2 S. 203--Silver coins were struck by Bhartědáman as Ksatrapa.--(Rapson,
ibid., 154). 282
Between $. 201 and $. 211--Silver coins were struck by Visvasimha as Mahakşatrapa. The legend is TET H T1A Zana #KTATTI FRUTTI - (Ibid., 152 ).
The Sarvania hoard indicates that Visvasimha's career of Mahākṣatrapa can
be assigned to years 200 to 204--(cf. D. R. Bhandarkar, op. cit., 227 ff.). 282-3. S. 204--Ksatrapa Bhartņdāman struck coins in silver.-( Rapson, ibid., 154;
D. R. Bhandarkar, op.cit., 227 ff.).
In the same year Bhartsdāman struck coins as Mahākṣatrapa.-( Ibid). Therefore, it is certain that he rose to the status of Mahāksatrapa during this
year. 283-4 S. 203-Silver coins were struck by Bhartņdāman as Mahaksatrapa.-(D. R.
Bhandarkar, op. cit., 227 ff.). 284-5 S. 206-Mallaksatrapa Bhartrdāman struck coins in silver.---(Rapson,
ibid.). :
D. R. Bhandarkar read year 2006) on coins struck by Viśvasena, son of
Bhartrdāman, as Ksatrapa.--(op. cit., 227 ff.). 285-6'. $. 207_Bhartsdāman struck silver coins as Mahäkşatrapa.-( Rapson,
ibid). CII
