² If the identification of Bālāditya with Bhānu Gupta first proposed in these pages is correct, his son Vajra may be identified with Vakārākhya, the younger brother (*anuja*) of the Prakaṭāditya of the Sārnāth Inscription (Fleet, CII, 284 ff.)—the Pakārākhya of the *Ārya-Mañjuśrī-mūla-kalpa* who is represented as the son of Bhakārākhya, i.e., Bhānu Gupta (ed. G. Śāstrī, pp. 637-44). Prakaṭāditya is represented in the inscription named above as the son of Bālāditya by Dhavalā. *Cf.* now Jayaswal, *An Imperial History of India*, pp. 47, 53, 56, 63.
