¹ The usual view among scholars is that Sātakarṇi I is a son of Simuka. If he is a nephew (son of Kṛishṇa, brother of Simuka) as the *Purāṇas* assert, it is difficult to explain why Kṛishṇa's name should be omitted from the family group, mentioned in the Nānāghāṭ records, while the name of Simuka as well as that of the father of Sātakarṇi's queen should find prominent mention. The final decision must await future discoveries.
