Gôvinda III. (Râshṭrakûṭa); examination
of the date in his grant of the Śaka
year 726, which proves that, up to A.D.

Guṇṭhaka, a grantee . . . . 105
Gupta, Mahârâja (Early Gupta), 17, 15,
28, 44, 51, 54, 257;—indications that
his name really was simply Gupta, and
not Śrîgupta, 8 n.;—he is not to be
identified with the Mahârâja Śrîgupta
who is mentioned by I-tsing . . 8 n.
Gupta era, a convenient name for the era,
commencing in A.D. 320, used by the
Early Gupta kings and their succes-
sors; the nomenclature of the era, 19
to 23;—there is no ancient authority
for connecting the name of the Guptas
with the era, as the establishers of it,
or for accepting the early existence of
any such appellations for it as Gupta-
kâla, Gupta-saṁvat, and Gupta-saṁ,
19, 22;—in the date of the Junâgaḍh
inscription of Skandagupta, the men-
tion of the Guptas only shews that the
date was being recorded in an era new
to that part of the country, 19, 20, 57
n.;—in the date of the Môrbî grant of
Jâiṅka, the adjective Gaupta, 'of or
belonging to the Guptas,' may possibly
exist, but it does not seem probable,
21, 98, 58 n.;—the reasons for which
the era would come to be popularly
known as the Gupta era, 19, 33 n.,
125;—and as the Valabhî era, 33 n.,
126;—instances of its being mention-
ed by the expressions Valabhî-saṁ
and Valabhî-saṁvat, 84, 91;—it is
convenient to speak of it as the Gupta
era, the Valabhî era, and the Gupta-
Valabhî era, 23;—Albêrûnî's state-
ments regarding the Gupta and other
eras, 23, 24, 27;—he speaks of both
the Gupta era and the Valabhî era, 25;
—but he distinctly shews that he is re-
ferring to one and the same era under
these two names, 31;—his illustration
of the method of converting Lôkakâla
dates into Śaka dates through the
Gupta reckoning, 26 n.;—his state-
ments do not really include the asser-
tion of the existence of an era dating
from the extinction of the Gupta sover-
eignty, 28;—this idea is due only to
Prinsep's rendering of the date
in the Kahâum pillar inscription
of Skandagupta, and its endorsement
by Reinaud in his translation of
Albêrûnî, 25, 26;—Albêrûnî's words
only shew that the Gupta era conti-
nued in use after the extinction of the...
