Śākyamuni Buddha's Dates
The article in Wikipedia states : The time of his birth and death are uncertain: most early 20th-century historians dated his lifetime as c. 563 BCE to 483 BCE, but more recent opinion dates his death to between 486 and 483 BCE or, according to some, between 411 and 400 BCE.

Could some editor throw more light on this subject. Thanks PrimeBOT (talk) 14:02, 22 July 2017 (UTC)

Wrong References
Tsung-mi and the sinification of Buddhism by Peter N. Gregory does not have the featured quotation on page 281, or anywhere in the book for that matter. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pavel Stankov (talk • contribs) 00:25, 13 May 2013 (UTC)

Ukkalājanapada
I removed a misleading link from Ukkalājanapada to Lower Myanmar: they are not synonymous. The association here reflects a Burmese folk tradition, not academic opinion. Myanmar, being outside the Indian subcontinent, was most certainly not a janapada. In later Sanskrit literature, Utkalā is situated in modern day Odisha, but in this context it most likely refers to Bactria, as reflected in the name Bhallika: "the one from Balkh".
