Besides, Harṣa was never known as Vikramāditya (even Bāṇa or the inscriptions do not bestow on him this title, although it is so commonly adopted by powerful Hindu potentates); and it is stretching the point to say that he was called Vikramāditya by confusion. Probably by using the expression “Vikramāditya came and established his era” the authors of the \*Vaṃśāvali\* simply tried to connect the current era in Nepal with the renowned name of Vikramāditya, the founder of the Vikrama era.
