D. by the well-known passage describing the extent of the Gupta dominions, which is applicable only to the reign of Chandragupta I in 320—326 A. D." The Purāṇas seem also to have been known to the author of the 'Questions of Milinda (Milindapanha)' who composed a part of the work where the first references occur, almost certainly earlier than 300 A. D. (S. B. E., volume XXXV, pages 6, 247). - [Previous: v2.c16.396](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.acharya-1927.v2.c16.396) - [Next: v2.c16.398](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.acharya-1927.v2.c16.398) - [Up: v2.c16](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.acharya-1927.v2.c16) ## Cites (2) - [Vāyupurāṇa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.vayu) — Vyāsa, Sanskrit - [Milindapañha](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.khuddaka.milindapanha) — Pāli --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.acharya-1927.v2.c16.397](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.acharya-1927.v2.c16.397) · Pramāṇa
