Excerpt from Report of a Tour in the Central Provinces in 1873-74 and 1874-75, Vol. 9

I have also given a pretty long account of the Kulachuri dynasty of Chedi, illustrated by numerous inscriptions. All of these are dated in an era of their own, which is called both Chedi Samvat and Kulachuri Samvat. The starting point of this era I have fixed with some certainty in the year 2419 a.d. My account of the era is founded partly on the mention of the Kulachuri Kings in the dated inscrip tions of other dynasties, and partly on the mention of several week days in some of their own inscriptions. After wards I was lucky enough to find two separate notices of the Chedi Kings by independent authors, which serve to establish the correctness of the date that I have assigned to the beginning of the era.
