| 533 | V. Saṁ. 589, inscription from Mandasor. Yaśodharman reigning in Northern India. Another Mandasor inscription describes Yaśodharman’s kingdom as extending over the whole of Northern India, from the river Lauhitya or Brahmaputra to the Western Ocean, and from the Himālayas to the Mahendra Mountain. It represents him as possessing countries which not even the Guptas and Hūṇas could subdue, and as having homage paid him even by Mihirakula. Hiuen Tsang ascribes Mihirakula’s defeat to Bālāditya of Magadha, *i.e.* Narasiṁhagupta. He and Yaśodharman may, therefore, have combined to overthrow Mihirakula, or, more probably, Yaśodharman was a feudatory of Narasiṁhagupta, who used his victory over the Hūṇas as a means of attaining supreme power. Hoernle inclines to identify Yaśodharman with Śīlāditya of Mālava, mentioned by Hiuen Tsang as having lived sixty years before his own time.—IA. xv, 222, 252. CI. iii, 142–158. JBA. lviii, pt. 1, 95 ff. |

Gautama Prajñāruchi, a Brahman of Vārāṇasī (Benares), translates several Buddhist works into Chinese, between A.D. 538 and 541 or 543.—BN. 422–3, 428. |
