The Dynasties of the Kanarese Districts of the Bombay Presidency from the Earliest Historical Times to the Musalman Conquest c8.s16.20

c8.s16.20

³ I take the saṁvatsara to be stated correctly; and I adjust the Saka year to it by the southern luni-solar system, according to which it coincided with Saka-Saṁvat 969 expired or 970 current. By the mean-sign system, Sarvajit coincided with S.-S. 967, partly as a current and partly as an expired year. It seems, therefore, just possible that the original has not been read correctly. But, on the other hand, the habitual use of the mean-sign system had ceased before this time, in Southern India.—Another date for Vinayâditya is perhaps given by the Nirgunda inscription (Mysore Inscriptions, p. 307), which connects with the name of Viṣṇuvardhana the Anala or Nala saṁvatsara, coupled with Saka-Saṁvat 987 by mistake for 998 expired or 999 current. The date is an impossible one for Viṣṇuvardhana. But it has somewhat the appearance of a correct date for Vinayâditya, mistakenly quoted in connection with his grandson.
