Vikrama era; an era of western origin,
commencing in B.C. 58, though usually
represented as commencing in B.C.
57, and supposed to date from the
beginning of the reign of king Vikrama
or Vikramâditya of Ujjain; Mr. Fer-
gusson's theory was that it was in-
vented in the sixth century A.D., that
its historical starting-point was in A.D.
544, and that it was referred to the
earlier starting-point by ante-dating,
47, 55; — but the Mandasôr inscription
of the year 529 proves that it existed
before that time, under the name of
the Mâlava era, 68; — and, in Central
India, it was known by this name at
least up to the ninth century A.D.,
66 n.; — an instance of the use of this
era, with the name of Vikrama, in Cen-
tral India, in the eleventh century A.D.,

come to be connected with it through

difference in the scheme of the south-
ern and northern Vikrama years, 70
and n., 71; — use of the word śarad,
'the autumn,' in the reckoning of this
era, 66 n., 158; — this word may be used
in the sense of 'a year' generally; but
its original meaning is that of 'the
autumn;' and the use of it with the
Vikrama era is significant, in helping
to show that the original scheme of its
years is that still used in Gujarât and
Southern India, with Kârttika śukla 1
as the initial day of each year, and with
the Amânta arrangement of the lunar
fortnights; and this reckoning of the
era was followed, in Central India,
at least up to the ninth century
A. D., 66 n.; — the statement of the
Nêpâl Vaṁśâvali, that Vikramâditya
introduced his era into Nêpâl, refers
really to the introduction of the Harsha
era, 184; — but, under the name of the
Nêwâr era, an offshoot of the Vikrama

was introduced there in A.D. 880, . .
74, 184; — and, in more modern times,

stances of the use of expired years of
this era, distinctly specified as such,
129; — of the use of both an expired
and a current year, 22 n.; — and of the
use apparently of a current year, which

I have not had the opportunity of examining the final printed sheets as thoroughly as I could
have wished; and doubtless some other instances of oversight on my part will be discovered, in ad-
dition to the present corrections, most of which I owe to the kindness of Prof. F. Kielhorn. Some
suggestions by him for altering my readings and translations, will be considered in the Indian
Antiquary; since, to include them here, would further delay the issue of the book.
