		Vikramaditya belonged to Pramar dynasty in which there was another very powerful King, Bhojraj, who was eleven generations later than Shalivahan.

		The dynastic periods of both, Hastinapur and Magadh, (up to Vikramaditya) coincide with only a difference of 24 years in 3,000 years of records which is almost negligible.

		Maharana UDAI SINGH II (1537-1572), expecting the threat of war, ordered and laid the foundation stone of the massive dam (bund) in February, 1559, mainly to give the city a secure water supply and, later, for agricultural and leisure purposes.

	Kamat Research Database: Research Abstract
		The powerful Chalukya emperor Vikramaditya II, who ruled over an extensive kingdom in the Deccan, married two sisters of the Kalachuri royal family, Lokamahadevi and Trailokyamahadevi, and in his honour the two queens patronized the building of two major Pattadakal temples.
		Named originally after the donors as Lokeshvara and Trailokeshvara, they are now known as the Virupaksha and Mallikarjuna and each is dedicated to Shiva.The spiritual merit of temple patronage would accrue to the donor, but it is likely that King Vikramaditya II considered these temples to be expressions of his own power and religious devotion.
		In these monuments one encounters the full glory of the southern mode of architecture as well as of the sculpture of early Karnataka during the rule of the early Chalukya dynasty.

		Some 19th century researchers identified this king with the famous vikramAditya of the gupta dynasty, thereby postulating a date of 44 BCE for Sankara.
		According to historians, there were two kings named vikramAditya in this cAlukya dynasty - vikramAditya I ruled in the late 7th century CE, while vikramAditya II ruled in the early 8th century.
		It is more reasonable to identify the vikramAditya of the Sringeri record with one of these two cAlukyan kings, who ruled from Karnataka, rather than the northern gupta king, whose empire did not include southern India.
