General definition (in Jainism)
: academia.edu: The epoch of the Mahavira-nirvanaChanda Pradyota (1260-1189 BCE) of Avanti and Udayana of Vatsa.鈥擟handa Pradyota was ruling in Ujjain during the time of Mahavira. He subjugated Udayana of Vatsa janap ada but married off his daughter Vasavadatta to him. 鈥淪vapnavasadattam鈥� of Bhasa, a Sanskrit drama, is all about the story of Vatsaraja Udayana and Vasavadatta. Jain sources inform us that Chanda Pradyota died on the same night of Mahavira nirvana i.e. 22 nd October 1189 BCE. Therefore, we can fix the time of Chanda Pradyota around 1260-1189 BCE.
