As indicated above, the beginning of the Lakṣmaṇasena era is supposed to fall in 1104-19 A.D. according to the records of Mithila, although it is generally believed to be 1108 A.D. But Kielhorn pointed out that, according to some dates quoted in certain medieval works, its first year was equivalent to 1119-20 A.D. Actually, however, calculation based on the years of this era in the late medieval records quoted with the corresponding Śaka years has shown its beginning to have fallen variously in 1108, 1109, 1110, 1113, 1115 or 1119 A.D.² King Lakṣmaṇasena of Bengal, however, flourished much later than this period.
