Secondly, argument (\*b\*) loses its entire force if it be granted that the reckoning of Amśuvarman’s inscriptions began sometime in 590 A. D. Adding 153 to 590 A. D., we get 743 A. D. as the date of Jayadeva’s inscription No. 15. If the date 66 of the Shahpur inscription is to be referred to the Harṣa era—as has been done by Fleet—the difference between Ādityasena and his great-grandson Jayadeva would be only 743-672 A. D.=71 years, or slightly less than the duration of three Indian generations, which as mentioned above, amounts to roughly 78 years. Thus, according to this proposition also the dates would tally remarkably well.
