v2.c16.393

The discovery of the Bengal manuscript written in Gupta hand has assigned the *Skanda-Purāṇa* to the middle of the seventh century on palæographical grounds.¹ Many other early quotations from, or references to, the *Purāṇas* have been collected by Bühler, who points out that the account of the future kings in the *Vāyu*, *Vishṇu*, *Brahmāṇḍa* and *Matsya Purāṇas* seems to stop with the imperial Guptas and their contemporaries.²
