ASOKA PILLAR, EDICT V-SIMALE SAMPAKE. POSSIBLY the former word is Hindi-"sura, a small beetle" (Fallon). The second must be not sand (which does not represent the ke and gives an improbable meaning, for Indians would hardly kill a bull), but "sända, an animal like a lizard." The oil is believed to be a cure for gout and impotence.

The Sútrálankára is an Avadana work of the same kind as the Divyavadana, the Dvavimbatyavadana and other works. Some of the stories
1 In 1647 Zu'l-Qadr Khan was promoted to the governor of the city and fortress of Kabul, with charge of Upper Bangash (Kurram), to which Lower Bangash was added.
2 Not its Sabahdir. Shah Alam in 1703 would not consent to the appointment of a Subahdar, and in 1710,. Nasir Khan was, originally at least, only appointed as deputy of the prince Raft-'ul-Qadr. Sher-i-Zaman had been governor of the citadel of Kabul, and he is said to have replaced Nasir Khan (who had acted as deputy, apparently of Amir Khan, but fell into disgrace).
In 1704 occurs the first mention of a Diwan of Kabul. Munim Khân, Diwan of the prince Shah Alam, then became Diwan of the province.
At first only, deputy (see the foregoing note) Nasir Khan was removed in 1714, and Sipahdar Khân appointed, but the latter was removed in 1715 and Nasir Khân re-appointed.
The son of Nasir Khan; who was the son of Husain Beg Khân Zik, a relative of Ali Mardan Khan.
