INSCRIPTIONS AND COINS. INSCRIPTIONS. MORE than 60 inscriptions of the time of Maharana Kumbha have been discovered. The earliest inscription is dated the V. S. 1491 (A.D. 1434) and the latest, V. S. 1518 (A.D. 1461). Many of them are of the great- est importance to the history of India in general and of Rajputana in particular. They have thrown a flood of light on the history of Rajputana and elucidated several obscure points in the history of Mewar.
