The stars placed against the names in this table denote that coins have been discovered of each of those princes; and it is from coins alone that I have ascertained that BALADITYA was named Nara Gupta. The chronological table has been framed upon the following data.
(Page 144) 3rd. The date of Skanda Gupta's death, which is found upon the Kuhaon Pillar, is the year 133**. No era is stated; but it must of course be that era which was used by the "royal race of Guptas," of which he is said to have been born, and which could only have been the Gupta-kál, or Gupta era. His death, therefore, occurred in 319+133=452 A.D., as given in my table. *The dates obtained from various sources are: for Chandra Gupta vikramaditya, 82 (Udayagiri Inscription), and 93 (Sanchi inscription), equivalent to AD. 401 and 412, from Jain authorities A.D. 409; and from Chinese authorities A.D. 428- for Skanda Gupta - his death in 133, or A.D. 452, as stated on the Kuhaon pillar; for Budha Gupta 165, or AD.484, as given in the Eran pillar inscription. + Or Lokaditya. ** Prinsep's Journal, vii. 37.
