Abstract
In 1970, while I was in search of coins and other archaeological material relating to the Śahī dynasty, I visited the town of Hund (also called Und or Ohind), the ancient Udabhāṇḍapura, the capital of the Hindu Śāhī kings. Here I made contact with Mullah Ḥabīb al-Raḥmān, a local collector of and dealer in antiquities, and from him I obtained the photograph and rubbing of a remarkable inscription of the Śāhī period. Unfortunately I was unable to see the inscription itself, since, according to the Mullah, the slab had been sent to Quetta, where it was in the hands of a private collector. Its exact provenance was uncertain, but apparently it had been discovered in the locality of Hund by workers collecting stones for building purposes.
