THE DISCOVERY OF THE VAKATAKAS
Some more light on the history of the Vākāṭakas was also thrown by the inscriptions1 and Coins2 of the Nalas, who once invaded their territory and occupied some portion of their dominion, and also by the records3 of the Sōmavaṁśīs, who were their feudatories ruling in Mēkala.
...From this rѐsumѐ of Vākāṭaka history it will be seen how our knowledge of this royal
family has increased gradually during the last hundred and twenty-five years. There are
still some dark corners of its history on which more light may be thrown by future discoveries, but it is now possible to give a fair outline of that history and to form a rather rough
estimate of the achievements of the Vākāṭakas. For this an attempt is made in the following pages.
