Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society of Bengal 1942 (Letters)

It was a quotation from the Calcutta Government Gazettee of the first week of May 1829 and contained a report of the Proceedings of the meeting of the Asiatic Society of the 6th May 1829. [...] The present writer thereupon drew the attention of the authorities of the Society to the fact that the plate belonged to the Society and a claim should be set up for it on behalf of the Royal Asiatic Society of Bengal. [...] Though the description of the land granted contains a number of village-names it would have been difficult to locate its place on the map but for the fortunate occurrence of the name of the river Banandra in the northern boundary of one of the plots granted. [...] The dicovery of theso coins of the 3rd-4th century B. C. from the bank of the Arial Khan shows the early nature of the settlement on the banks of those rivers. [...] The metropolis of the Senas was at Vikrampur at the junction of the Ichhamati and the old Brahmaputra and all the earlier plates of Laksmana Sena up to the sixth year of his reign are issued from that capital.
