The date, which Fergusson hesitated to accept, has been definitely settled by copper-plate inscriptions. See \*Ann. Rep. A. S., India\*, 1902–3, pp. 46–50; ibid., 1903–4, pp. 46–8; \*Progr. Rep. E. Circle\*, 1908–9, p. 18. I agree with Dr. Burgess in thinking that mistakes were made in the work done by the Archaeological Survey at Koṇārak. - [Previous: c8.66](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.smith-1911.c8.66) - [Next: c8.68](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.smith-1911.c8.68) - [Up: c8](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.smith-1911.c8) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.smith-1911.c8.67](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.smith-1911.c8.67) · Pramāṇa
