Memoirs of the Archæological Survey of India. The Archaeological Remains and Excavations at Nagari

At one time Nagari was part of the Jagir of the Thakur of Bassi but it is now included in the estate of the Rao of Bedla a Chohan Rajput and a first class vassal of the Maharani of Udaipur. [...] The only correct translation of the legend would in my opinion be ' Coin of the gibi janapada of the Madhyamika [country].' The word janapada no doubt means ' an inhabited country ' but it also signifies ' an autonomous people." The latter is the only sense in which the word is to.be taken in the interpretation of the legend. [...] This is confirmed by another class of coins which "wiz the legend : Rajatia-janapadasa ' Coin of the Rajanya people.' The term Rajanya is not here the Sanskritised form of the Rajput title Rani as is supposed by some numismatists and scholars but is rather the name of a people whose existence is attested by the MOB residing in the hill district's of the Punjab. [...] In the close vicinity of the enclosure begin the low lands of the hills and here are lines of rock of the lamiferous' kinspringing out of the earth and running parallel to one another. [...] The top of these foundations was found to be on the same level as the original ground of the Illithi-brida and it is possible that we have here the house of the Pujciris who were in charge of the temple.
