But from the point of view of the chronology of the premauryan times and the history of Jainism it is the most important inscription yet discovered in the country. It confirms the Puranic record and carries the dynastic chronology to C. 450 B. C. Further, it proves that Jainism entered Orissa and probably became the State religion, within 100 gears of the death of its founder Mahavira.

( 21 ) The Jain books (5th cent. A. C.), and later Jain inscriptions claim Chandragupta as a Jain imperial ascetic. My studies have compelled me to respect the historical data of the Jain writings, and I see no reason why we should not accept the Jain claim that Chandragupta at the end of his reign accepted Jainism and abdicated and died as a Jain ascetic. I am not the first to accept the view. Mr. Rice who has studied the Jain inscriptions of Sravana Belgula thoroughly gave verdict in favour of it and Mr. V.
