My dear Vijaya Indra Suri,
I have just received your letter of the Eth ult. It is impossi. ble to say what Nauludo means. It seems to characterise Sodāsa" but may be the name of different person. Rajula was certainly alive when the Lion capital was set up. With regard to the date, I may now refer you to my paper in "The Journal of Indian History, Vol.xii. No 1 pp. 1-46, where new materials which were not accessible when I wrote my Kharoshthi volume, have been utilised. You will see there that I would date the Lion capital about 25 B. C.
With all good wishes,
Yours ever,
