Within the period comprehended in the above tables, there are 



four specific dates given in the Indian history, and two in the 

 Ceylonese history, all computed from the epoch of the death of Sakya 

 which occurred (as already stated) in the year B. C. 543, and which 

 constitutes the Buddhistical era. 



The four Indian dates are : 



1st. Sakya attaining Buddhohood in the 16th year of the reign 

 of Bimbisaro, B. C. 588. 



2nd. * Sakya's death (in the 80th year of his age and the 45th 

 of his Buddhohood) in the 8th of the reign of Ajatasatto, in which 

 year also, the first convocation was held, B. C. 543. 



3rd. f The second convocation held 100 years after the death of 

 Sakya, in the 10th year of Kalaso'ko's reign, B. C. 443. 



4th. } The inauguration of Asoko in the 2l8thyearof Sakya's 

 death, at the close of the 4th year after this monarch's accession, 

 B. C. 324. 



The two Ceylonese dates are : 



1st. § The landing of Wijayo in Ceylon on the day that Sakya 

 expired, B. C. 543. 



2nd. || The arrival of the Buddhistical mission under Mahindo in 



* Vide Chap. II. of the Mahdwanso. f Vide Cbap. III. of ditto. 

 J Vide Chap. V. of ditto. § Vide Chap. VII. of ditto. 

 || I am by no means confident that I may not be in error in computing this 

 term from the inauguration of Asoko in A. B. 218, instead of his accession four 

 years earlier, in A. B. 214.
