⁴ Drs. Bhaṭṭasāli and Basāk, who uphold the identification of Hiuen Tsang’s Bālāditya with the son of Puru Gupta do not apparently attach due weight to the evidence of the *Life of Hiuen Tsang*, p. 111, which, as we shall see later on, is corroborated by the combined testimony of the Sārnāth inscription of Prakaṭāditya and the *Ārya-Mañju-śrī-mūla-kalpa*. The evidence of these documents suggests that Hiuen Tsang’s Bālāditya was identical with Bhānu Gupta and was the father of Prakaṭāditya and Vajra.
