¹ The synchronism of Meghavarṇa with Samudragupta, discovered by Sylvain Lévi from a Chinese work, has been discussed by the author in the paper on Gupta chronology already cited, and in 'The Inscriptions of Mahānāman at Bōdh-Gayā' (*Ind. Ant.*, 1902, p. 192). But Meghavarṇa reigned later than I supposed when those papers were written, A. D. 352 and 379 (transl. *Mahāvaṁśa* (1912), p. xxxix). His true dates may be slightly earlier.
