D. R. BHANDARKAR.-Dekkan af the Satavahan Period. (Ind. Anti. Vol. XLIX1920, Bombay).
P. 30. The inscription of Kharavela speaks of a king called Satakarni, who has been identified with the Third King of the Satavahana dynasty. Its date is 165th year (C. 157 B.C.) of the Mourya era. It is questioned whether Kharavela's inscription contains any date at all. (J.R.A.S. 1910, 242 Pp. and 824 pp.).
LUDERS, emphatically declares that it contains no date at all (List of Brahmi Inscriptions, No. 1345). According to K. P. JAYASWAL and R.D. BANERJEE, the inscription contains a date (JBORS-1917, 449 ff. and 488 ff.). But see also R.C. MAJUMDAR'S criticism on it, Ante, 1918, 223-4). BÜHLER says that the Nanaghat and Sanchi inscriptions of the Satakarni and the Häthigumpha inscription of Khåravela are exactly of the same period; he assigned these records to 200-150 B.C. Subsequently, RHLER changed his mind and declared that Gautamiputra Satakarni flourished about A,D. 124.
