‘since [the commencement of] the reign have [now] passed’;
used in connection with the regnal reckoning of Govindapāla
and Lakṣmaṇasena and rarely with the years of an era (e. g.
the Vikrama-saṃvat associated with the reign of a legendary
king named Vikramāditya). See also gata-rājya and vinaṣṭa-
rājya. Cf. JAS, Letters, Vol. XX, 1954, pp. 43 ff.
