Dr. F. W. Thomas, however, ascribes it to king Harṣa of Kashmir (\*Ibid.\*, p. 704). Some lines in the Madhuban inscription as well probably bear the stamp of our Harṣa's authorship (Bühler, \*Ep. Ind.\*, Vol. I, p. 71). Besides, Yuan Chwang attributes the \*Aṣṭamahāśrīcaitya-saṃskṛta-stotra\* to an Indian king called "Sun of virtue," which is equivalent to Śīlāditya, the title given to Harṣa (see also Dr. Keith's \*History of Sanskrit Literature\* (1928), p. 215). It may not be out of place to add here that he was also a skilled calligraphist, as seems clear from his signature in the Banskhera charter (Cf. "Sva hasto mama Mahārājādhirājasya Śrī-Harṣasya"). - [Previous: c14.58](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.tripathi-1937.c14.58) - [Next: c14.60](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.tripathi-1937.c14.60) - [Up: c14](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.tripathi-1937.c14) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.tripathi-1937.c14.59](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.tripathi-1937.c14.59) · Pramāṇa
