The Junagarh inscription goes on to tell us that during the reign of Rudradaman, in the year 72 of the Saka era, there occurred a terrible storm. What would be the time in CE of the occurrence of that terrible storm?<\/p>\n
[amp_mcq option1=”150 CE” option2=”181 CE” option3=”130 CE” option4=”120 CE” correct=”option1″]<\/p>\n
The Saka era is a historical calendar era. Its epoch (year 0 or year 1) is widely accepted to correspond to 78 CE.
\nTo convert a year in the Saka era to a year in the Common Era (CE), you typically add 78 to the Saka year.<\/p>\n
Given Saka era year = 72.
\nTime in CE = Saka year + 78
\nTime in CE = 72 + 78
\nTime in CE = 150 CE.<\/p>\n
