v1.c30.84

¹ The accession of the twenty-third king, Gautamīputra Çātakarṇi, must be dated 106 A.D. or a few years later; see Rapson, B.M. Cat., *Coins of the Andhra Dynasty &c.*, p. xxx. If a calculation be made from this fixed point, the maximum readings of the Purāṇas would indicate c. 244 B.C., and the minimum readings c. 202 B.C., as the date of Simuka's accession; cf. *Kali Age*, pp. 38–42, 71, with B.M. Cat., pp. lxvi, lxvii.
