Maimood of Ghuzni, .. 



Died A. D. 1030. 



The columns added to this list of kings will show at a glance the 

 points in which it is open to question. Calculating twenty-two 

 years to each reign the entire list brings us to the death of Sooltan 

 Maimood of Ghuzni in A. D. 565 instead of A. D. 1030, showing 

 a discrepancy of 465 years. Pundits defend this by saying that 

 under the name of each monarch we are to understand the entire 

 dynasty. But this will not bear the light ; for not only is each (in 

 the copy I possess) styled the son of his predecessor ; but a succes- 

 sion of twenty dynasties in the space of 1198 years is a phenome- 

 non without precedent. It may perhaps be more correct to infer 

 that the names of remarkable sovereigns alone have been recorded. 



That the Salabyne of Sialkot and the Salivahana whose era is 

 current in the Indian Peninsula are identical admits of no doubt ; 

 for the assigned dates of their respective reigns agree within three 

 years. Salivahana being, according to Elphinstone, A. D. 78 and 

 Salabyne according to my MS. 81.
