² *Epigraphia Indica*, Vol. I. p. 2.—As regards the details of the date, compare page 279 above, and note 1. They furnish an indication of antiquity; and Dr. Bühler (*loc. cit.* p. 5) has endorsed my opinion that the kings of Prākṛit grants belong to an earlier time than those who issued their charters in Sanskrit.—The record represents Sivaskandavarman as having performed the *aśvamēdha*-sacrifice (see page 290 above, note 3). And, partly on account of this, Mr. Foulkes (*Jour. R. As. Soc.*, N. S., Vol. XXI. p. 118) has allotted it to the second century A.D., before the revival of that rite by Samudragupta. But my own opinion is that the *aśvamēdha*-sacrifice of this record must be placed after the revival of the rite.
