________________ 88 THE CHRONOLOGICAL SYSTEMS OF GUJARAT given in the Prabandhacintāmaņi contain particulars about the months, fortnights, lunar days and week-days in addition to years. A critical examination of these dates clearly indicates that the particulars do not tally in most of the cases. As remarked above, these traditional dates hardly have any historical basis; they are probably fabricated conjecturally in later times. Even, if the initial year 862 be ascribed to the S'aka Era instead of the Vikrama Era, it is not possible to treat all the subsequent dates accordingly because the year 998 marking the lower limit of the Cāvadā rule, definitely belongs to the Vikrama Era.45 These doubtful dates given in later traditions, therefore, deserve no consideration for determining the chronolgical systems of this period. 44.
