South Indian Inscriptions |
PREFACE - 2 The introduction discusses first the important question of the epoch of the Kalachuri- Chedi era which has been at issue among scholars for nearly a hundred years. When Dr. Kielhorn attempted to fix it in 1888, he had only fourteen dated records with the necessary Details available to him, on which he based his conclusion. Since then twenty-six more Dated inscriptions containing details necessary for computation have come to light, which have enabled me to fix the epoch of the era more accurately. The introduction next gives thepolitical history of the dynasties that used the era, and an account of the administration as well as the religious, social and economic condtions of the times as gleaned from the inscriptions. The next two sections deal with the literature of the age and the coins of the Traikutakas and the Kalachuris. NAGPUR: The 22nd December, 1954. V.V.MIRASHI.
