Thus Professor Bhândârkar quotes the following from an ordinary Hindu Panchânga of Bombay: “In the Kâli-age there are six founders of eras. First, there was Yudhishthira in Indraprastha, whose era lasted for 3044 years. The second was Vikrama at Ujayani, whose era had a run of 135 years. The third was Salivâhana at Pratisthâna.” Here the era of Yudhishthira is made the same as that of the Kâli-Yuga, which also dates from 3044 years before the era of Vikrama. - [Previous: c6.46](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.epigraphy.cunningham-1883.c6.46) - [Next: c6.48](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.epigraphy.cunningham-1883.c6.48) - [Up: c6](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.epigraphy.cunningham-1883.c6) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.epigraphy.cunningham-1883.c6.47](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.epigraphy.cunningham-1883.c6.47) · Pramāṇa
