v1.c36.50
Traditionally ascribed to a king Vikramāditya of Ujjain who is said to have expelled the Çakas from India. The tradition may have some historical foundation; but in any case it seems probable that the supposed founder of the era has been confused with Chandragupta II Vikramāditya (380–414 A.D.) who finally crushed the Çaka power in Western India (the Western Satraps) (pp. 532–3).
