The *Lokavibhāga* Datum.—This leads to the initial date of the Pallava king Simhavarman as A.D. 436. According to the Digambara, Jain manuscript, *Lokavibhāga*, Śaka 380 corresponded to the twenty-second regnal year of Simhavarman, king of Kāñchi, the year in which the work was completed. The reference makes it clear that the first year of this king must have been A.D. 436, and that this king continued to rule for at least a period of twenty-two years.
