D. Banerji says that the inscriptions of Nahapāna cannot be referred to the same era as used on the coins and inscriptions of Chashṭana's dynasty because if we assume that Nahapāna was dethroned in 46 Ś. E., Gautamīputra must have held Nāsik up to 52 Ś. E. (from his 18th to his 24th year), then Pulumāyi held the city up to the 22nd year of his reign, \*i.e.\*, up to at least 74 Ś. E. But Rudradāman is known to have defeated Pulumāyi and taken Nāsik before that time. Banerji's error lies in the tacit assumption that Rudradāman twice occupied Nāsik before the year 73 of the Śaka era. There is no clear evidence to suggest that the Sātavāhanas lost Poona and Nāsik to that great satrap though they may have lost Mālwa and the Koṅkan. Another untenable assumption of Mr. Banerji is that Rudradāman finished his conquests before the year 52 or A. D. 130, whereas the Andhau inscriptions merely imply the possession of Cutch and perhaps some adjoining tracts by the House of Chashṭana. - [Previous: c19.s1.27](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.raychaudhuri-1923.c19.s1.27) - [Next: c19.s1.29](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.raychaudhuri-1923.c19.s1.29) - [Up: c19.s1](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.raychaudhuri-1923.c19.s1) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.raychaudhuri-1923.c19.s1.28](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.raychaudhuri-1923.c19.s1.28) · Pramāṇa
