D. 248. It is called also Chedi era and began as proved by Kielhorn (Ep. Ind. IX p. 129) on fifth September 248 A. D. the year being Aśvinādi and the months being Purnimānta. This shows that the Kalachūris must have attained great power in 248 A. D. It is true that as the Haihayas of Tripura held sway for some time even in the western parts of India in Konkan and Gujarat, their era was in use in south Gujarat and in the Traikūta country. We know very little of the history of these ancient times. But the name Kalachūri does not occur before the 8th century and the era came to be called by that name later and not in the beginning. These Kalachuris it is whom we shall have to describe in our second volume. - [Previous: v1.c19.6](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.vaidya-1921.v1.c19.6) - [Next: v1.c19.8](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.vaidya-1921.v1.c19.8) - [Up: v1.c19](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.vaidya-1921.v1.c19) ## Linked texts (1) - [Māndhātā plates of Jayavarman II.; \[Vikrama-\]Saṁvat 1317 (ed.
