* In Appendix A we calculated the Loukika era by fixing the century in which Kalhana wrote as the first. But we find it more convenient to make 653 century in which Gonanda I reigned as the first. According to this calculation the reign of Gonanda bigin on the 28th year of the century, in which he reigned, was what we now call the first century. For we know that Kahlana wrote the work 3,596 years after the commencement of Gonanda's reign, and that this was the 28th year of anew century. This century, therefore, must have begun 3,572 years after the commencement of Gonanda's reign. Therefore our first Laukika century must have commenced 28 years before the commencement of Gonanda's reign ; or Gonanda reigned on the 28th year of the first century, which we represent in the table thus.—

t These are from Gonanda I to Abhimanyu I, 52 kings, whose accounts were lost, but of whom Kahlana could find the names of all except 35.

* According to our calculation, the reign of Ajitipira would fell in the year XXXIII,83; but as it is mentioned in the text that he reigned in 89, we adopt it. There la thus a difference of only 6 years. Calculation according to other one has been similarly modified.
