Kushan era[edit | edit source]
He realized that the astrological Sanskrit-Text Yavanajātaka (79,15) defined the era of the Kushans, i.e. of Kaniṣka I, as śaka 149, that is AD 227. This he linked to the long-established practice of the “dropped hundreds”, which allowed to include contemporary data from the Chinese annals Hou Hanshu. The start of the Kushan era was so defined in AD 127.[6] In addition, it became apparent that the Kushan era was used with dropped hundreds up to the fifth century under Gupta rule in Western India.[7][8]
