tenure of the Bhảonagar Divåņi the power and influence of the Bhảonagar Darbar was much extended, and on Rupji's death in 1806 the Bhảonagar Darbâr were so alive to the advantages they had obtained during his tenure of office that they conferred the Divani on his brother Somji II., who followed the policy of Rapji, and died in 1814. This concilation policy had become the more necessary as by the treaty of Bassein, concluded on the 31st December 1802, the Peshwa had resigned to the British Government his rights in Gogha, aud the Bhíonagar Darbâr were among the first to perceive the permanent character of the British rule. The permanent settlement of tribute of the Kathiawad States effected by Col. Walker, Resident of Baroda, in conjunction with Babaji Appaji on behalf of the Gâekwad, in 1807-8, established the British influence throughout
Gujarat, and afterwards on the fall of the Peshwâ in 1818 the British Government succeeded to the entire power and rights of that government. Since 1802, then, Goghê has been a British port, and the Goghábârah district has from that date passed under British jurisdiction. The prosperity of this port depends very much on the state of trade at Bhonagar: when trade is slack at Bhâonagar, then Goghá flourishes, and vice versd. The name Goghå is spelt in many different ways, thus Ghogha, Goga, and Gogo; but Goghả is correct, and old lekhs bear out this view. The form Gogha is borrowed from the Persian historians, who invariably spelt the name of this port as Ghogha or Khokha. The principal representatives of the Desii family of Goghå at the present day are (1) Ranchoddas Vithalji, (2) Dharnidhardås Harjivandås, (3) Santukrâm Sevakrám, and (4) Chaganlâl Sivprasad.
THE CONCLUDING VERSES OF THE SECOND OR VAKYA-KÅNDA OF
BHARTRIHARI'S VAKYAPADIYA.
BY Dr. F. KIELHORN, DECCAN COLLEGE. It was, I believe, the late Professor Gold Punyarâja, and occur in the résumé which that stücker* who first drew attention to certain scholar has given of the contents of the second verses of Bhartrihari's Vakyapadiya which are kânda of Bhartribari's work. of considerable interest for the history of As I have at last succeeded in procuring Sanskrit Grammar.
