'''Frederick Eden Pargiter''' (1852 - 18 February 1927) was a British civil servant and Orientalist.<br />
<br />
Born in 1852, Pargiter was the second son of Rev. Robert Pargiter. He studied at [[Taunton Grammar School]] and [[Exeter College, Oxford]] where he passed in 1873 with a first-class in mathematics. Pargiter passed the [[Indian Civil Service]] examinations and embarked for [[India]] in 1875.<br />
<br />
Pargiter served in India from 1875 to 1906 becoming Under-Secretary to the Government of Bengal in 1885, District and Sessions Court judge in 1887 and a judge of the [[Calcutta High Court]] in 1904. Pargiter voluntarily retired in 1906 following the death of his wife and returned to the [[United Kingdom]].<br />
<br />
Pargiter died at [[Oxford]] on 18 February 1927 in his seventy-fifth year.<br />
<br />
In his ''Ancient Indian Historical Tradition'', taking the accession of [[Chandragupta Maurya]] in 321 BC as his reference point, Pargiter dated the Battle of Kurukshetra to 950 BC assigning an average of 14.48 years for each king mentioned in the Puranic lists.<ref name="hinduism">{{cite web|title=F.
