Part 2.2e - The 艢耻峁単补 Dynasty
笔耻峁补尘颈迟谤补 was the founder of this dynasty. The ten kings of this dynasty were:
- 笔耻峁补尘颈迟谤补(reigned for thirty six years),
- Agnimitra (reigned eight years),
- 痴补蝉耻箩测别峁ａ弓丑补 or 厂耻箩测别峁ａ弓丑补 (reigned seven years),
- Vasumitra (reigned for ten years),
- Odraka (two years),
- Pulindaka (three years),
- 骋丑辞峁 (3 years),
- Vajramitra (nine years),
- Bhagavata (32 years) and
- 顿别惫补产丑奴迟颈 (ten years).[1]
They altogether reigned for one hundred and twelve years. The term of Agnimitra is not counted as he reigned during the tenure of his father 笔耻峁补尘颈迟谤补. But it should be mentioned that the 惭补迟蝉测补辫耻谤腻峁嘺 had mentioned that 艢耻峁単补 dynasty reigned for 300 years,[2] which is proved to be incorrect in further studies.
