Harivamsapuraṇa of Acārya Jinasena of the Punnata Gaṇa, completed in the year 705 of the salivahana era, the year 759 cannot be acknowledged as the year of the Salivahana Saka era. Moreover, the Jayadhavala commentary was completed in Vaṭagrama, the modern Baroda according to most of the scholars. The city of Baroda is situated in the northern part of India i. e. in Gujarata. There is, therefore, every possibility of the year 759 being of the Vikrama era, for there, in Gujarata, even now as in the past, the Vikrama era, is current. As the salivahana Saka era is generally current in the southern part of India, the Vikrama is current in the northern part. There is, therefore, no harm in acknowledging the year 759 as belonging to the Vikrama era.
The dates to be assigned to the Dhavala, the Adipurāṇa, the Jayadhavala, the Parśvābhyuadaya, the Uttarapuraṇa, the Mahapurāņu and the Harivamśapurāṇa are as below,
The date of the completion of the Dhavala
