[MAT, 1889,
15th lunar day of the bright half of Vaisakha, of the year 1236. Like the preceding, this grant was written by the mahakshapatalika, the Thakkura Sripati.
As regards the date, taking 1236 to be a year of the Vikrama era, the possible equivalents for Vaisakha sukla 15 would be:
for the northern year 1236 current,
Wednesday, 3 May, A.D. 1178;
for the northern year 1236 expired, or the southern year 1236 current,
Monday, 23 April, A.D. 1179; for the southern year 1236 expired, Friday, 11 April, A.D. 1180.
THE INDIAN ANTIQUARY.
18
The actual date, therefore, clearly is Friday, 11 April, A.D. 1180; and the year 1236 of the grant must be taken to be the southern expired year, i.e. the northern year 1238 current. The localities mentioned in the grant I am unable to identify.
