Albiruni, who accompanied Mahmud of Ghizni in his invasion of Gujarât in the early part of the eleventh century, states that that era was posterior to the S'aka by 241 years, and that it was the epoch of the extermination of the Guptas. He mentions another era named after Balaba, the initial date of which was the same as that of the Guptas. - [Previous: c8.s7.52](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c8.s7.52) - [Next: c8.s8.3](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c8.s8.3) - [Up: c8.s8](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c8.s8) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c8.s8.2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c8.s8.2) · Pramāṇa
