c7.25

The other instance is the name of the Andhra king Āpilaka, which appears in the Bh generally as *Civilaka*. The probable genesis of the changes in the name is suggested in p. 39, note 45, and the fact that seems significant here is that the compiler of the Bh account apparently drew his information from a Vs account in which he misread the initial *d* as *c*. This mistake could arise only in the Gupta script and not very well before the 7th century A.D.²
