dharasena ii was succeeded by śīlāditya i who is also called dharmaditya, the "sun of dharma". he reigned from c. 590 - 615 ce. "manju-sri-mula-kalpa" assigns him thirty years. the "śatruñjaya máhátmya" has a prophetic account of one śíláditya who will be a propagator of religion in vikrama saṃvat 477 (420 ce). the work is comparatively modern and does not correspond to chronology and dating of maitraka kingdom. although no reliance can be placed on the date still his second name dharmáditya gives support to his identification with the śíláditya of the máhátmya. based on "manju-sri-mula-kalpa" and his grants, it is known that his rule extended from malwa to the oceans of kutch in western india.
