THE CHRONOLOGICAL SYSTEMS OF GUJARAT
according to the different systems mentioned above on assuming that the Saka years given here are expired. The results may be summed up as under : *** Among the six cases noted above, the given Samvatsara corresponds to the samvatsara arrived at on all the four calculations, only in the case no. 4. In cases nos. 1, 2 and 3, the samvatsara arrived at on these calculations uniformly corresponds, not to the given Samvatsara, but to the succeeding one.29 Analo. gically the samvatsara arrived at in the case no. 6 must be Nandana (26) succeeding Khara (25) the given samvatsara.30 In case no. 5 the samvatsara arrived at on calculations based on the original Sürya Siddhānta and the BỊhatsamhità rule corresponds to the given samvatsara whereas the Samvatsara arrived at on calculations based on the first Arya Siddhanta and the Brahma Siddhānta corresponds to the saṁvatsara succeeding the given one. Thus if the given Saka years be expired, the Jovian Samvatsara in the given dates tallies only in one or two cases out of six ones.
Let us then assume that the given Sakı years are current. The results arrived at on the calculation of 29. Calculated according to the methods and Table in Indian
Chronography by Sewell. 30. The given date comprises only the year; the month, the fortnight
and the tithi, are not specified. As remarked above, the calculations of the samvatsara imply that the date of the record fell somewhere during the first 8 or 9 months.
The Vikrama year 989 given in this date along with the Saka year 853 obviously seems to be erroneous. It must be 987 or 988.
