| 241 | The Śramaṇa Sang-hwi of the K‘ang country visits the kingdom of Wu, has a monastery built for him in 247 by order of Sun-Ch‘üan, first sovereign of the Wu dynasty; began his work of translation in 251, and died in 280.—BN. 390. |
| 249 | current, Sunday, August 26th; Aśvina śudi 1, K.Y. 3350, expired; epoch of the Chedi era.—IA. xvii, 215 ff. EI. ii, 299. |
| 250 | Īśvaradatta, a Mahākshatrapa, whose coins dated ‘first’ and ‘second’ year, are found with those of the Kshatrapas, seems to have partially overthrown the Kshatrapa power about this date. According to Bhagwānlāl Indraji, Īśvaradatta was the founder of the Traikūṭaka, known later as the Kalachuri or Chedi era, originating probably in the establishment of his power in the Koṅkaṇ, with Traikūṭa as his capital. Under Rudrasena, son of Vīradāman, the Kshatrapas would appear to have re-established their sovereignty by driving out the Traikūṭakas, who thus dispossessed, retired to Central India, assuming the name Haihaya or Kalachuri. On the final destruction of the Kshatrapa rule, the Traikūṭakas apparently regained Traikūṭa, about which time Dahrasena (A.D. 456) succeeded to the throne.—Proceedings of the Aryan Section of the Seventh Oriental Congress, p. 216 ff., or FKD., Bom.
