MRAS AND DATES. 341 



probable, mentioned by the ancient hiftorians, as 

 reigning in the Cali yug of the aitronomical rera; and 

 as Jaxanujaya is the firft prince mentioned as reign- 

 ing in the Cali yug, in the lunar line, it is very pro- 

 bable, he may be the lame perfon recorded as reign- 

 ing in the Treta yug ; and if that fliould be the cafe, 

 the eleven names that follow next to him, moft likely 

 will be thofe that mould fill the chafms. 



At what particular period of time, the folar line of 

 princes became extinct, it is not eafy to afcertain, by 

 the table, it would appear, that it muft have been 

 fifty years before the year 3838 of the world ; but as 

 I allowed feventeen years to each reign, which is 

 rather two much in .a long fucceilion of eldeft fons, 

 it is probable it mull have ended about 100 years at 

 leait, earlier than given by the table ; which will 

 place the end of the laft prince's reign, about the year 

 3788 of the world. 



Alexander the Great paid his vifit to India about 

 200 years about the year 3888 of the world, cr end 

 of the Dwapar yug ; but whether he was the caufe of 

 the folar line of princes becoming about that time 

 extinct, or whether Prase naj it (the laft prince but 

 two mentioned in the table, and whofe name might 

 be pronounced, or corrupted into Porasnajit, 

 Porusnajit, or even Porus itfelf, leaving out the 

 termination Naj it) was the prince named Porus. 

 whom Alexander conquered and took prifoner, I 

 will leave to others to decide.
