THE INDIAN ANTIQUARY.
[APRIL, 1889.
Wanthalt in the Junagadh State in Kathiâwâd. Dharmavarhiki, Lowever, may possibly be another name of Anhilwad itself. Of the places mentioned in the genealogical passage, Avanti is another name of Ujjain, in Malwa; Sakambhart is supposed to be the modern Sambhar or Sambhar, in the Jaipur State, Rajputânâ (ante, Vol. VIII. p. 59, note 6; and Vol. X. p. 161); the Sapadalaksha country has been identified by Dr. Bhagwanlal Indraji with the region of the Sivalik Hills, in the Pañjab (ante, Vol. X. p. 345); and Kavi is evidently the modern Kavi, in the Broach District.
The date of this record, in lines 1 to 4, is given fully in words and in decimal figures; and the details are Vikrama-Samvat 1266, not distinctly specified either as corrent or as expired, and Simha-Samvat 96; the month Mârga, i.e. Margaśîrsha; the bright fortnight; the fourteenth tithi and civil day; and Gurudina or Thursday. And the English equivalent is to be found in A.D. 1208 or 1209, according as the given Vikrama year, whether referred to the northern or to the southern reckoning of the era, is to be taken as current or as expired. By Prof. K. L. Chhatre's Tables, I find that -
In northern and) southern Vikrama-Samyat 1266, current, Mârgasîrsha sukla 14 ended on Sunday, 23rd November, A.D. 1208, at about 5 ghafís, 58 palas, after mean sunrise, for Aphilwad.
And in (northern and) southern Vikrama-Samvat 1267 current (1266 expired), Margasirsha sukla 14 ended, as required, on Thursday, 12th November, A.D. 1209, at about 22 gh, 31 p. And this, therefore, is the proper English equivalent of the given date.

The expression that is used is analogous to one of constant use for the saka era, on which I have commented, ante, Vol. XVII. p. 119.f.
