⁶ The identity of the Gupta and Valabhi reckonings is indicated by the fact that, of two records of the same age and also the area in question, one associated the era with the Guptas and the other with Valabhī. These are the Unā (Kathiawad) plate of Valabhi-saṃvat 574 and the Morbi (Kathiawar) plate of Gupta-saṃvat 585. See Bhandarkar's List, Nos. 1379 and 1378 (these numbers should have been 1378 and 1379). To get the equivalent Christian year, 318-19 requires to be added to the current Kārttikādi Valabhi year and 319-20 to the current Caitrādi Gupta year, according to some (S. Pillai, Indian Ephemeris, Vol. I, Part i, p. 54).
