Pauranik lists,1 which are the only written document we possess
bearing on the subject, cannot be implicitly relied upon.' We are
consequently almost wholly dependent on the inscriptions, and they
are few in number, and have not yet been examined with the
care requisite for reliable results being obtained from them. Now,
however, that such scholars as Buhler, Burnell, Fleet, and Bhagvanlal
Indraji are available for their investigation, it seems most desirable
that they should all be recopied in facsimile, so as to admit of
comparison and translation. If this were done it is probable that
all the difficulties that now perplex the subject would disappear.
Pending this being done, if we may assume, as was done above
