Smith's now standard work on the early history of India. I have, however, studied the materials referred to by him in the original and by their help and the help of the Harsha-Charita of Bāṇa have tried to throw additional light on many incidents in Harsha's life. On two points I have ventured, with some diffidence, to put forward views differing from those of Sir Vincent Smith. I have further added a few detailed notes embodying discussion on the most controversial points. And lastly I have attempted to determine, on data supplied by the Harsha-Charita, the exact date of the birth of Harsha.\] - [Previous: v1.c4.1](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.vaidya-1921.v1.c4.1) - [Next: v1.c5.3](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.vaidya-1921.v1.c5.3) - [Up: v1.c5](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.vaidya-1921.v1.c5) ## Cites (2) - [Harṣacarita](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.historical.aryavarta.harsacarita) — Bāṇabhaṭṭa, Sanskrit - [Bāṇa](https://indike.org/pramana/inp.epigraphy.deccan.bana) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.vaidya-1921.v1.c5.2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.vaidya-1921.v1.c5.2) · Pramāṇa
