The text of the crucial Vikramāditya inscription, found inscribed on a gold dish hung inside the Kaaba shrine in Mecca, is found recorded on page 315 of a volume known as ‘Sayar-ul-Okul’ treasured in the Makhtab-e-Sultania library in Istanbul, Turkey. Rendered in free English the inscription says: "Fortunate are those who were born (and lived) during king Vikram’s reign. He was a noble, generous dutiful ruler, devoted to the welfare of his subjects. But at that time we Arabs, oblivious of God, were lost in sensual pleasures. Plotting and torture were rampant. The darkness of ignorance had enveloped our country. Like the lamb struggling for her life in the cruel paws of a wolf we Arabs were caught up in ignorance. The entire country was enveloped in a darkness so intense as on a new moon night. But the present dawn and pleasant sunshine of education is the result of the favour of the noble king Vikramaditya whose benevolent supervision did not lose sight of us- foreign- ers as we were. He spread his sacred religion amongst us and sent scholars whose brilliance shone like that of the sun from his country to ours. These scholars and preceptors through whose benevolence we were once again made cognizant of the presence of God, introduced to His sacred existence and put on the road of Truth, had come to our country to preach their religion and impart education at king Vikramaditya’s behest." http://www.guardiansofdarkness.com/GoD/muslims.pdf (5) Defeat and capture of Caesar by Vikramādiya of Ujjain (82 BC-19 AD)- Defeat of Caesar is noted in many places, e.g. at http://www.heritage-history.com/www/heritage.php?Dir=wars&FileName=wars_romanpersian.php The first Roman contact with the Parthian Empire came during the Mithridatic Wars which lasted from 82 to 63 B.C. The Kingdom of Pontus was an independent Kingdom that bordered on Parthian territory. By the third Mithi- datic War, the Romans pursued Mithridates and his ally, Tigranes, deep into Armenia, and conquered most of the Armenian Empire, including Syria and Judea for Rome. From this point on, the Eastern border of Rome's territory bordered on Parthia. Rome recognized that Parthia, far from being barbaric was a highly civilized country with rich booty. The lure of conquest was behind most of Rome's incursions into Parthian territory in the following centuries. Soon after Pompey had conquered Syria and Judea for Rome, Crassus, already one of the richest men in Rome, launched a campaign against Parthia in Mesopotamia. He was defeated however, with great slaughter at Carrhae (53 B.C.). Caesar was planning a campaign of retribution when he was assassinated so the task fell to his succes- sor in the east Mark Antony. www.livius.org/caa-can/caesar/caesar_t01.htm- In 75, Julius Caesar was captured by Cilician pirates, who infested the Mediterranean sea. The Romans had never sent a navy against them, because the ... Vikramāditya has become most hated by Oxford because his calendar is still followed for all festivals surviving attempts to change it. Jyotirvidābharaṇa of Kālidāsa has been declared fake as it describes arrest of Caesar by him. But 3 epics indicated here are not considered fake and studied widely-Raghuvamśa, Meghadūta, Ku- mārasambhava. ज्योतिर्विदाभरण,ग्रन्थाध्यायनिरूपणम् २२विक्रमार्कवर्णनम्- वर्षे श्रुतिस्मृतिविचारविवेकरम्ये श्रीभारते खधृतिसम्मितदेशपीठे।

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.
