Book of Indian Eras, with Tables for Calculating Indian Dates c11.14

c11.14

For these reasons I retain the year 544 B.C. as the accepted date of Buddha’s Nirvâna, according to the Buddhist chronology of Ceylon and Burma. At the same time I think that there must certainly be an error in this date to the extent of about 66 years as shown by the subsequent dates of Chandra Gupta and Asoka.
