¹ In this and the other Gujarât Chalukya grants, the era is not specified by name. But the identity of it is proved by the synchronisms that are established by the Nausârî grant of Śryâśraya-Śilâditya, which mentions Satyâśraya-Vinayâditya of the Bâdâmi line (see further on in this chapter), and by the Balsâr grant of Vinayâditya-Maṅgalarasa, which is exceptionally dated in the *Saka era*.—Dr. Bhandarkar (*Early History of the Dekkan*, 1884, p. 42) has preferred identifying the unnamed era of the Gujarât Chalukya records with the Gupta era. But this makes Śryâśraya-Śilâditya seventy years too late to be a feudatory, as he was, of Satyâśraya-Vinayâditya.—For the epoch of the Kalachuri or Chêdi era, see Prof. Kielhorn's paper in *Ind. Ant.* Vol. XVII., p. 215.
