P. 509.Prabhavakacharita or the lives of Jain saints by Pradyumnsûri gives a long account of the Jain Acharya Kalakasuri-According to this work when Satavahana was ruling from Pratisthana and Murunda at Pataliputra, a King called Gardabhila was ruling at Ujjain in Malava. The Šakas are said to have conquered Ujjain and replaced its king Gardabhila. These Šakas were driven out of Ujjain by the king Vikrama who founded the era after his name. The invasion of the Saka to Ujjain was brought about by Kalakasûri who invited them to conquor the Kingdom to wreak vengeance against the king Gardabhila who tried to outrage
his sister.
The above account proves beyond all doubt that there was a Vikramaditya at 56 B.C. ruling over Ujjain but all the stories narrated in it have not got the same degree of credibility.
