A. N. UPADHYE-A Note on Trivikrama's Date, (Annals of B.O.R.I. XIII, 2, Pp. 171-2, Poona, 1932).
In the light of some of the lately published Inscriptions, more definite limits are put to the age of Trivikrama, the Präkrit grammarian, who must have flourished at the latest early in the beginning of the 13th century A.D.

Radha Kumud Mookerji-- Problems of Early Maurya Chronology and History, (J.U.P. H.S. Vol. 6, 1933).
Pp. 137 140. Jain traditional chronology ; the date 323 B.C. for Chandragupta's accession to sovereignty. Mahāvīra's death 470 years before the date of the birth of Vikramaditya. Vikrama era started from 57 B.C. Mahāvira predeceased the Buddha. Buddhism did not make much headway in the lifetime of Mahāvira. Majjhima Nikaya, II, 153, and Samyutta Nikāya, Jațila Sutta ; King Prasenajit directly tells the Buddha that he was junior to Mahavira in both age and ascetic career. There are on record only in the Buddhists texts of a few stray cases of converts from Jainism to Buddhism. Mrs. Rhys Davids says in her work on Śākya that the early training of the Buddha himself was received from Jainism as the predominant system of his times.
P. 147. Brahminical works are much later than the time of Chandragupta and cannot be expected to reflect reliable history of remote times. The most genuine Brahminical tradition on the subject is the Arthasastra of Kautilya. The theory of Chandragupta being base-born or a șüdra does not fit in with the Brahminical system and ideals for which Kautilya stands.
