Vikram era started in 57 BC by Vikramaditya as a commemoration of his victory upon the Shakas.

According to the above descriptions Vikramaditya lived for 117 years (102 BC - 15 AD).

It could be logically guessed that Vikramaditya should have been at least 45 years old when he totally defeated all the Shakas.

According to Bhavishya Purana he was born in 3000 Kali era; so he established his Vikram era in (3000+45) 3045 Kali era. Vikram era is 57 BC. Thus, the beginning of kaliyuga comes to 3045 + 57 = 3102 BC.^[2]
