THE CHRONOLOGICAL SYSTEMS OF GUJARAT V. 1334 expired Caitrādi: Wednesday, 14 April, (or current Kärttikādi) A.C. 1277 V. 1334 expired Kärttikādi: Tuesday, 3 May, A C. 1278
As the given date does not correspond to any of the dates mentioned above, it is obvious that some particular in it, is wrongly recorded or read. The tithi 10 may, therefore, be corrected into either 14 or 15. The former would apply to the Caitrādi system and correspond to Sunday, 18 April, A.C. 1277 while the latter would apply to the Kärttikādi system and correspond to Sunday, 8 May A.C 1278. Accordingly, the modified tithi would correspond to the given week-day.
Thus the records pertaining to the Aṣṭādaśaśata Mandala excluding Mt. Abu region contain 67 key-dates (Nos. 138 to 204). Out of them 59 dates are of definite character, while the remaining 8 dates seem erroneous in some particular or other.
The results of the examination of these definite dates may be tabulated as follows :
