Sanskrit sá and sáh
The forms of the nominative singular of the demonstrative pronoun or definite article and of the relative pronoun in Sanskrit and Greek correspond exactly in accordance with the regular soundchanges of each language

Cecil Bendall
WHEN I was asked to write for the Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society some account of the life of Professor Bendall, my first teacher in Sanskrit and my friend for twenty-five years, I felt that, well as I knew him during that period, I could not unaided deal with the other twenty-five years of his life-his boyhood and his brilliant career as a student at school and at the University.Through the kindness of Mrs. Bendall, of his sister, Mrs. de S…
XXIX. Notes on Indian Coins and Seals Part VI
The square bronze coins of Eucratides which bear on the reverse the image and superscription of the tutelary divinity of a city, instead of some type accompanied by the usual kingly name and titles, are well known and have often been published. The Kharoṣṭhī inscription has been read hitherto as “ Karisiye nagara-devata ”; but this is undoubtedly incorrect. Since the publication of Professor Gardner's Catalogue, tlie British Museum has acquired s…

XXVI. Note on Ancient Coins
The following is a description of the coins referred to in Mr. Tate's article which appears in the present number of the Journal, pp. 663–672
XXII. In what degree was Sanskrit a Spoken Language
There must have been in ancient India three thousand years ago, as there are in the India of to-day, many languages and many dialects of these languages. Unfortunately, there was no Linguistic Survey and no Dr.- Grierson in those days ; and of all of these save one — the language of the earliest Aryan settlers in the north-western corner of India — we have to say, “ their memorial is perished with them.”

Art. IX.—Notes on Indian Coins and Seals. Part V
This coin belongs to Professor Gardner's class (γ), “ Base silver; type, Śiva ” (Brit. Mus. Oat., Greek and Scythic Kings , etc., p. 104), and to the latter of the two subdivisions into which the coins of this class naturally fall. The broad characteristics of these subdivisions are as follows:—(1) King on horseback 1.; name title trātārassa ; rounded forms correct Greek: (2) king on horseback r.; name title maha(ṃ)tassa ; square forms corrupted …

Art. XI.—Impressions of Inscriptions received from Captain A. H. McMahon, Political Agent for Swat, Dir, and Chitral
The impressions of inscriptions represented, on very greatly reduced scales, in the accompanying collotype plate by Mr. W. Griggs were sent for publication to Dr. M. A. Stein by Captain A. H. McMahon, Major Deane's successor on the Malakand and Political Agent for Swat, Dir, and Chitral. It was Dr. Stein's intention to publish them in continuation of the series of inscriptions in unknown characters sent to him by Major Deane, and described by him…
Art. VI.—Notes on Indian Coins and Seals. Part IV. Indian Seals and Clay Impressions
Clay impressions bearing the well-known Buddhist formula, Ye dharmā hetuprabhavā , etc., are well known and have often been published. The specimens to be described in the present article seem to be partly non-religious—simply the signets of individuals—and partly Hindu (Vaiṣṇava or Śaiva). The last-named class, represented here chiefly by a number of specimens belonging to Mr. L. White King, seems hitherto to have attracted little or no notice

Art. XXIII.—Notes on Indian Coins and Seals. Part III. The Kulūtas, a people of Northern India
The identification of the kingdom of Kulūta, which Hiouen Thsang visited, with the present valley of Kullu seems to be quite beyond dispute; and the lapse of more than twelve centuries and a half has effected so little change in the conditions, that Hiouen Thsang's description and the acount in Hunter's Gazetteer are curiously similar. Like its neighbour the kingdom of Chamba (Skt. Caṇpakā ), it belongs to the eastern or Jālandhar group of Hill S…
Art. VII.—Notes on Indian Coins and Seals. Part I
With the kind permission of the Council of the Society, I purpose from time to time to contribute a series of notes on such unpublished or noteworthy coins and seals of Ancient and Mediaeval India as come under my notice; and I shall be greatly obliged to collectors of these objects if they will submit to me at the British Museum any specimens about which they may desire information
Art. XVII.—Notes on Indian Coins and Seals
Thanks to the investigations of Professor O. Franke and of Mr. A. Viktor Bergny the readings of practically all the known biliteral coin-legends in Brāhmī and Kharoṣṭhī characters may now be regarded as finally settled. In this field of Indian numismatics, as in so many others, General Sir A. Cunningham was a pioneer, and it is, therefore, in no way surprising that many of his readings of these inscriptions as given in his Coins of Ancient India …

More than eight years have passed since the publication in this Journal of a posthumous article by Paṇḍit Bhagvānlāl Indrājī on “The Coinage of the Western Kṣatrapas.” With the exception of a chapter in “Coins of Mediaeval India,” by the late General Sir A. Cunningham, little of importance has since been written on the history of this dynasty. The Pandit's article is still the best and fullest account of the subject taken as a whole. So much new …

Art. XIII.—The Western Kshatrapas
[“This is my last contribution to Indian archæology. It contains views which I have arrived at after a careful and continuous study, extending over twenty-six years, of the Kshatrap coins and inscriptions.” These were among the last words of Paṇḍit Bhagvānlāl Indraji, who almost up to the day of his death was engaged in completing the article now published. Hisv death in March, 1888, was a real loss to Indian archaeology. The tributes paid to his…
Art. XVIII.—The Northern Kshatrapas
[Since the publication in this Journal of Paṇḍit Bhagvānlāl's article on the Western Kshatrapas, a period of no less than four years has elapsed. The delay in issuing this, the final portion of his notes, is due to the fact that a study of these notes convinced me of the impossibility of publishing them in anything like their original form; and my task was postponed, until Dr. Bühler most generously undertook to revise the most important part of …
Art. XXVII.— Counter-marks on early Persian and Indian Coins
The addition of a counter-mark to a coin already current has usually served one or other of two distinct purposes. It has occasionally merely denoted the ratification or re-sanction of a currency already legal; it has more frequently been used to show some change in the conditions of a currency—as, for instance, a change in its value as legal tender, or its circulation in a different country or under a different government. The true interpretatio…

Art. XIII.—Two Notes on Indian Numismatics
The regular Greek inscription on the coins of Hermaeus is ΒΑΣι٨ΕΩΣ ΣΩТΗΡΟΣ | ΕΡΜΑ;ΙΟΥ; but, on some of his bronze coins, and on the whole bronze series issued by him conjointly with Kujula Kadphises, there appears an inscription which differs from this in two respects— (1) the substitution of ΣТΗΡΟΣ for ΣΩТΗΡΟΣ, and (2) the addition of the syllable Σ;Υ
