inscription of King Karṇadeva I Saṁ. 1140, Paușa, ba. di. 14, Soma
Uttarāyaṇaparvan V. 1140 current, - Pūrņimānta : Wednesday, 21 December,
- A.C. 1082 Amānta : Thursday, 19 January, A.C. 1083 V. 1140 expired, - Pūrņimānta : Suppressed between sunrise
on Sunday, 10 December A.C. 1083 and sunrise on the
next day Amānta : Tuesday, 9 January, A.C. 1084
The given tithi does not agree with the given weekday according to any of the four systems mentioned above. The given date would correspond to Monday, 8 January, A.C. 1184, on assuming that the week-day was joined with the new tithi which commenced on it rather than with the tithi which was current at sunrise. But as H. G. Shastri observes, the Uttarāyana parvan fell on 25 December, A.C. 1083, according to the Makarasaskrānti of expired V.S. 1140, and this day corresponds to the 14th tithi of the bright-half of the Pausa. On this account he assumes that the grant was issued 15 days later than the Parvan on which it was made (JOI, II, 366 ).
