Comment Intrinsic Date: 524 (era: Mālava). Basis of dating: intrinsic. Although the year is stated to be expired (vyatīte, l. 11), there is no specific date, only a description of the spring. Assuming a kārttikādi year, the inscription would have been made in CE 468; in case the Mālava year was caitrādi, the time may be late spring in CE 467 (when 524 years had just expired), or in early spring in CE 468 (when 524 years had expired almost a year ago).
