﻿138 ON THE CHRONOLOGY 



revolution constitutes an epoch of the highest im- 

 portance in our present enquiry ; first, because it 

 happened according to the Bhagawatamrita, two years 

 exactly before Buddha 's appearance in the same king- 

 dom ; next, because it is believed by the Hindus to 

 have taken place three thousand eight hundred and 

 eighty-eight years ago, or two thousand one hundred 

 years before Christ ; and lastly, because a regular 

 chronology, according to the number of years in each 

 dynasty, has been esiablished from the accession of 

 JPradyoia to the subversion of the genuine Hindu 

 government ; and that chronology I will now lay be- 

 fore you, aher observing only, that Radhacant him- 

 self says nothing of Buddha in this part of his work, 

 though he particularly mentions the two preceding 

 jivataras in their proper places.
