§ 72. Kaniṣka, Huviṣka, Vāsudeva. -- The Śaka era has usually been supposed to date from the *abhiṣeka* of *Kaniṣka* at Mathurā in 78 A.D. (OLDENBERG, ZfN. 1881, p. 292 = Ind. Ant. 1881, p. 214); and to this era the dates found in the stone inscrr. of *Kaniṣka*, *Huviṣka*, and *Vāsudeva*, have usually been referred. If this supposition be correct, the known dates will be as follows: — Kaniṣka, years 7—28 = A.D. 85—106; Huviṣka, years 33—64 = A.D. 111—142; Vāsudeva, years 74—98 = A.D. 152—176.
