The Digambara tradition pertaining to Bhadrabāhu, ascribes the origin of the Svetāmbara Sect to a king of Valabhi.
The Digambara Sect assigns the origin of the Kāmbalika Sect' to Vira S. 609 (82-83 A.D.)--Harişena, Byhatkathākośa, Bhadrabāhu Kathānaka, Vs. 69-80 ).--(Shastri, H. G., Maitrakakālina Gujarat, p. 417-18.) . Add on the coins ' after 'inscriptions' Add, whose name is identified with Nahapāna', before 'Nabhovāhana'. Andhāu Stone-Inscript on of the time of Rudradāman (dated 130 A. D., S. year 52) by R. D. Banerji :-( El., XVI, pp. 19-25)-( See P. 62-63 Supra ).
The mention of Castana, son of Ysāmotika, immediately before the name of his grandson Rudradāman, son of Jayadāman, in the four lithic records from Andhāu, without any connecting link, has led scholars to make a number of conjectures; because the word age is probably omitted. The date of these inscriptions had better be ascribed to the conjoint reign of Caştana and Rudradāman.
Eventhough Rudradāman was an independent monarch, he never used the title 794 alone. This is true of all princes of this dynasty and of FIAT Sath.
There is not a single coin or inscription of this dynasty, in which the title 159 is used by itself, and not in combination with the titles HE 1974 or 479. In fact, Andhāu inscriptions are the only records known, which mention Caştana or Rudradāman as राजन् s and not as महाक्षत्रप s.
Inscription, described as 'C', which contains three lines, has been illustrated (See Plate XVII A), and reads as under :(१) राज्ञो चाष्टनस यस[1]मोतिकपुत्रस राज्ञो रुद्रदामस जयदामपुत्रस वर्षे द्विपंशाशे ५०,२ (२) फगुण बहुलस द्वितियं वा २ यशदताये सीहमितघिता सेनिकगोत्राण शामणेरिये (३) मदनेन सीहिलपुत्रेन कुटुंबिनिये [ लष्टि] उथापिता । Add' as Kșatrapa' before 'coins.' Add on his coins and before ' Ksatrapa'. Add. like the fall of Valabhi' before' a similar event'. Add 'Kārtikādi' before 'The Valabhi Era'. This date, however, does not hold good, in consideration of the chronology of the Maitraka kingdom, which was not even founded by this time.
