note from CoinIndia regarding name variations - Pankaj Tandon

In the current catalogs of Western Kshatrapa coins, such as Jha & Rajgor and Senior, Rudradāman I is shown as having three sons who ruled after him. They are called Damajadasri, Damaghsada and Rudrasimha. However, there has been a long-standing proposal (Indraji, JRAS 1890 and Rapson's BM catalogue) that the coins of "Damajadasri" and "Damaghsada" are actually issues of just one king, whose name was in reality Dāmazāda, and I believe I have confirmed this in my paper The Western Kshatrapa Dāmazāda in the 2009 issue of The Numismatic Chronicle. The theory I have offered to explain the different spellings is that they were produced at different mints. The key point is that Brahmi did not have a letter for the Persian sound z and different mints used different conventions on how to represent it.
