Note 11 — Chapter X · THE GURJJARAS (a.d. 580–808.)
Reading edition
A still nearer approximation to the date of the Gurjjara conquest is suggested by the change in the titles of Dharasena I. of Valabhi, who Chapter X. The Gurjjaras, a.d. 580–808. in his grants of Saṃvat 25211 (a.d. 571) calls himself Mahárája, while in his grants of 269 and 27012 (a.d. 588 and 589), he adds the title of Mahásámanta, which points to subjection by some foreign power between a.d. 571 and a.d. 588. It seems highly probable that this power was that of the Gurjjaras of Bhínmál; and that their successes therefore took place between a.d. 580 and 588 or about a.d. 585.
