In the Shadow of Giants
When we think of the great dynasties, that ruled in ancient India, the first to come to mind are the Maurya (circa 324 BC - 187 BC) and the Imperial Gupta (circa 319 AD - 550 AD) dynasties. The Imperial Guptas were fortunate, in that they had a succession of great rulers - Chandragupta I the founder, Samudragupta the empire builder, Chandragupta II the conqueror of the Sakas, Kumaragupta I the able administrator, and Skandagupta the vanquisher of the Hunas. In the present work, I have tried to present an outline of the history of those later contemporaries and successors of the Imperial Guptas, who have been cursed to live in the shadow of the Imperial Gupta giants. These include the Aulikar...
Aspects of Pañchāla Numismatics
This paper embodies my keynote address to the seminar on 'Pañchāla and Other Local Coins and Seals: Revisiting and Updating the Numismatic Source of History', organized by the Pañchāla Museum of the MJP Rohilkhand University, Bareilly, a few years back. In this paper, after making a brief survey of Pañchāla coinage, I have dwelt on certain aspects of Pañchāla numismatics. At the end of the paper, I have dealt with a Buddhist seal from Sankissa, mainly to show how seals, too, may be used as a source of history. The proceedings of the Seminar were never published. I have, therefore, decided to publish that Keynote Address in the form of WebGuruCool Indological Studies 7. I acknowledge, with a profound sense of gratitude, the inspiration I always receive from my Guru, Professor K K Thaplyal, and the warm support I always receive from my family -Wife Dr Nidhi Srivastava, daughters Pratichi and Purvi, son-in-law Kumar Aishvarya, and my extended family of students. 12 June 2024.

Bodhisattva Avalokiteśvara/Kuan-yin
Over a decade ago, I got interested in Bodhisattva Avalokiteśvara, who came to be worshipped as a female bodhisattva, Kuan-yin, in China. I found this transformation intriguing, and worth further enquiry. These enquiries resulted in a paper, Avalokiteoevara/Kuan-yin and the Transformation from a Male Divinity into a Female One, published in S D Trivedi (ed), The Glorious Heritage of India (in Memory of Prof R C Sharma) 2, Delhi, 2010. The Commemoration Volume, dedicated to Prof R C Sharma, was a costly multi-volume set, and not easily accessible to the students. Hence, I decided to present my findings, as the fifth in the series of WebGuruCool Indological Studies. The original paper, in the Commemoration Volume, was published without any illustrations. I have endeavoured to correct that situation in this publication of WebGuruCool. I acknowledge, with a profound sense of gratitude, the inspiration I always receive from my Guru, Professor K K Thaplyal, and the warm support extended to me by my family—Wife Dr Nidhi Srivastava, daughters Pratichi and Purvi, son-in-law Kumar Aishvarya, and my extended family of students. 12 September 2023.

A Dictionary of Divinities and Their Symbols on Ancient Indian Coins
At the very outset, I wish to clarify that this is not a new work : This WebGuruCool Indological Studies 3 incorporates parts of my work, Encyclopaedia of Indian Coins (Ancient Coins of Northern India up to c 650 AD), a two-volume set, published by Agam Kala Prakashan, Delhi, in 2012. The main object behind undertaking this publication is to make information about the divinities and their symbols, appearing on ancient Indian coins, available to students, who may be interested, but are unable to access the Encyclopaedia. On a more selfish note, it is a sort of an advertisement for the Encyclopaedia. It is hoped that a perusal of this WebGuruCool Indological Studies 3 may whet the appetite of ...
