इति श्रीकविकालिदासोदिते ज्योतिर्विदाभरणे ग्रन्थाध्यायनिरूपणक्रमनृपविक्रमवीरवर्णनाध्यायो द्वाविंशतितमः ॥ २२ ॥ (10) Result is that Indian students deny existence of all literature which they study for whole life and assume base- less things for which there is no reference or mention. All students of Sanskrit literature study Mṛcchhakaṭikam of Śūdraka, then tell that there is no reference of this king because he started Mālava Samvat in 756 BC. It contin- ued till Śrī Harṣa śaka 456 BC which has been called 300 years of democracy by Megasthenes. After reading Nai- shasha-charita of Śrī Harṣa and Nāgāvalī of Harṣavardhana (605-646 AD) and Harṣa-charita of Bāṇabhaṭṭa, Śrī Harṣa is equated with Harṣavardhana. Most study is of works by Nava-ratnas of Vikramāditya –Amara-koṣa of Amara Simha, Jaina texts of Kṣapaṇaka, Suśruta-saṃhitā of Dhanvantari, Bṛhat-saṃhitā, Bṛhat-Jātaka, Pañcha- siddhāntikā of Varāhamihira, Raghuvamśa, Meghadūta, Kumāra-sambhava of Kālidāsa, present version of Purāṇas by Betāla Bhaṭṭa, and survey by Śanku revived by Moghul king Akbar. Literature on Vikramāditya is next only to Rāma and Kṛṣṇa, but it is claimed that there is no mention about him. A fake Vikramāditya has been cre- ated in Chandragupta-2 of Gupta period, about him only half word has been found-‘Chandra’-on Mehrauli iron pil- lar of Delhi. If it is assumed Chandragupta, then it could be one of 3 famous-1 in Maurya and 2 in Gupta period. But capital of all was at Patna, not at Delhi. Chandra only meant that it was to mark northernmost position of moon motion in 456 BC when Śrī Harṣa started his śaka in 456 BC and Kutub-Minār made, called Pillar of Hercules by Megasthenes.
