¹³⁷⁶ यावत्परीक्षितो जन्म यावन्नन्दाभिषेचनम् । एतद्वर्षसहस्रं तु ज्ञेयं पञ्चदशोत्तरम् ॥ विष्णु IV. 24. 32, भागवत XII. 2. 26 reads (आरभ्य भवतो जन्म···सहस्रं तु शतं पञ्चदशोत्तरम्), महापद्माभिषेकात्तु यावज्जन्म परीक्षितः । एतद्वर्षसहस्रं तु ज्ञेयं पञ्चाशदुत्तरम् ॥ मत्स्य 273. 35 (reads एवं वर्ष०), वायु 99. 415 (reads महादेवाभिषेकात्तु), ब्रह्माण्ड III. 74. 227 (reads महानन्दाभिषेकान्तं). श्रीधर commenting on Bhāgavata XII.2.26 (*Continued from last page*) states that in the 9th Skandha the Bhāgavata assigns 1000 years to 20 kings from Mārjāri of the Māgadha line (a contemporary of Parīkṣit), then 5 Pradyotana kings ruled for 138 years, then the Śiśunāgas ruled for 360 years, thus 1498 years passed between Parīkṣit and the crowning of Nanda and therefore he supports the reading of the interval as 1500 years
