Devam jayati vijitávaniravanipati Srí Budhagupto. The king the illustrious Budhagupta who has conquered the earth conquers the Deva. [215] Since the coins are dated Samvat 174 and 180 odd (A.D. 494 and 500 odd) and the inscription's date is 165 (A.D. 485) the inscription may be taken to belong to the early part of Budhagupta's reign the beginning of which may be allotted to about 160-162 (A.D. 480-482). As this is more than ten years later than the latest known date of Skandagupta (G. 149 A.D. 469) either a Gupta of whom no trace remains must have intervened or the twelve blank years must have been a time of political change and disturbance. The absence of any trace of a gold currency suggests that Budhagupta had less power than his predecessors. The correctness of this argument is placed beyond doubt by the pillar inscription opposite the shrine in the Eran temple where instead of his predecessor's title of monarch of the whole earth Budhagupta is styled protector of the land between the Jamna (Kálindí) and the Narbadá implying the loss of the whole territory to the east of the Jamna. [216] In the west the failure of Gupta power seems still more complete. Neither in Gujarát nor in Káthiáváda has an inscription or even a coin been found with a reference to Budhagupta or to any other Gupta ruler later than Skandagupta (G. 149 A.D. 469). The pillar inscription noted above which is of the year 165 (A.D. 485) and under the rule of Budhagupta states that the pillar was a gift to the temple by Dhanya Vishnu and his brother Mátri Vishnu who at the time of the gift seem to have been local Bráhman governors. A second inscription on the lower part of the neck of a huge Boar or Varáha image in a corner shrine of the same temple records that the image was completed on the tenth day of Phálguna in the first year of the reign of Toramána the supreme ruler of great kings and was the gift of the same Dhanya Vishnu whose brother Mátri Vishnu is described as gone to heaven. [217] Since Mátri was alive in the Budhagupta and was dead in the Toramána inscription it follows that Toramána was later than Budhagupta. His name and his new era show that Toramána was not a Gupta. A further proof that Toramána wrested the kingdom from Budhagupta is that except the change of era and that the bust turns to the left instead of to the right, Toramána's silver coins are directly adapted from Gupta coins of the eastern type. Certain coin dates seem at variance with the view that Toramána flourished after Budhagupta. On several coins the date 52 is clear. As Toramána's coins are copies of the coins of Kumáragupta and Skandagupta and as most of these coins have a numeral for one hundred the suggestion may be offered that a one dropped out in striking Toramána's die and that this date should read 152 not 52. Accepting this view Toramána's date would be 152 (A.D. 472) that is immediately after the death of Skandagupta.
