Pages 96-7. Mr. H. B. Sarkar suggests (J.A.S.B., Vol. XXIX, pp. 17-21) that as a result of the conquests of Skandagupta, a large body of Śakas from Gujarat, under a local chieftain, probably Aji Śaka by name, emigrated to Java and introduced the Śaka Era. The arguments in support of this theory do not appear to me to be very convincing.
