NOTE.—Mr. V. S. Sukthankar in E. I. xvii, 12, argues that the dates given are too early and that the reign of Prithvīsēna I was as late as A.D. 7th century. But this could not be so if the pedigree is accurate and if Rudrasena II married the daughter of Chandragupta II. (For further information see S. K. Aiyangar's Vākāṭaka Supplement Jour. Ind.
