and that of Hari Varmma from Prof. Eggeling (Ind. Ant. vol. ill. p. 162.) With regard to the date 668 for the last but one, given in the former, the following is the note in Mr. Taylor's translation -"The date s. s. 591 is introduced apparently by a specimen of the mode of using words for numbers-vasthu-grega 500, banna 90, yuddha 1."
I should be very glad to see some explanation of this, & according to all such cases I have met with the figures have to be taken backwards. I conjecture that vastku should have been read wursha.
