Śaka, a tribe, conquered by Samudragupta 14
Śaka era ; an era of northern origin, com-
mencing in A.D. 78, though usually re-
presented as commencing in A.D. 79:
according to the chief Hindu tradition,
its starting-point was the defeat of a
Śaka king by king Vikramâditya of Uj-
jain, 142 ; — according to a later tradi-
tion, it dates from the birth of king
Śâlivâhana of Pratishṭhâna ; but there
is no proof of his name being connected
with it before the thirteenth century
A.D., 142 n. ; — its real historical start-
ing-point was the commencement of the
reign of some particular king or kings
of the Śaka tribe, 142 ; — a curious in-
stance of confusion, by the Jain writer
Śîlâchârya, between the Śaka and the
Gupta eras, 32 n. ; — the difference in
the scheme of the Northern and South-
ern Śaka years, both commencing with
Chaitra śukla 1, . . 70, 71 ; — even in
Southern India, the Amânta arrange-
ment of the lunar fortnights was not
used with the Śaka era, for the civil
reckoning, till between A.D. 804 and
866, . . 79 n. ; — for the civil reckon-
ing, the Śaka year is luni-solar, com-
mencing with Chaitra śukla 1, and it is
sometimes used thus by astronomers ;
but also, for astronomical calculations, it
is sometimes taken as a solar year, com-
mencing with the Mêsha-Saṁkrânti,
101 n., 137 n. ; — a note on the epoch
and reckoning of the era, Appendix I.,
137 to 144 ; — instances of the use of
apparently current years of this era,
which have to be applied as expired
years, 80 n., 107 n. ; — quotations of
the reckoning of this era, both by
current and by expired years, from
Hindu almanacs, which give its total
duration as 18,000 years, 137 to 141,
138 n. ; — the present reckoning in
Southern India is by current years ;
while the reckoning in Northern, West-
ern, and Central India, is by expired
years, 140, 141 ; — the habitual quotation
of the latter reckoning has led to the
mistaken idea that the era commenced
in A.D. 79, . . 141 and n. ; — but it
really commenced in A.D. 78, . . 142;
— the years of the era were originally
