Book of Indian Eras, with Tables for Calculating Indian Dates c18.30

c18.30

The new inscription of Jaika (which has not yet been published) has induced Dr. Bühler to fix the beginning of the Gupta era about A.D. 206-209. But even the earlier date of 206 would place Silâditya V. in 206+441=647 A.D., just six years later than the visit of Hwen Thsang, who found his son Dhrûva-bhatta on the throne.
