Shahi lands were subjected to repeated attacks and occupation by various Muslim states, with Kabul falling around 870 AD. However, the popular coinage of Kabul was retained soon after the takeover, the Abbasid Caliphal Governor of Kabul, Yaqub ibn Layith of Seistan, added his personal biruda œSri Khudarayaka� in Nagari above the bull and the Arabic word œadl�, meaning œjust�, to the right of the horseman™s head.
