THE INDIAN ANTIQUARY.
[NOVEMBER, 1890.
V. 1231 expired: the 13th tithi of the bright half commenced on Wednesday, 9 October, A. D. 1174, 12 h. 24 m. after mean sunrise, and ended on Thursday, 10 October, 9 h. 51 m. after mean sunrise.
v. 1882 expired: Wednesday, 29 October, A. D. 1175; the 13th tithi of the bright half ended 12 h. 7m. after mean sunrise.
Here, again, either the tithis of both dates were joined with the days on which they commenced, or the year 1231 has been put wrongly for 1232. And I would again decide in favour of the second alternative, and accordingly take Monday, 27 Ootober, and Wednesday, 29 October, A. D. 1175, as the true equivalents of the two dates ; for, in the second date, a socalled current tithi would be altogether out of place, and in the case of the first date, too, no religious ceremony could have been performed during the 11th tithi on Monday, 7 October, -A. D. 1174 (when that tithi commenced as late as 17 h. 21 m. after sunrise); and I can find no reason why the ceremonies connected with the ékddasi should not have been performed on the day on which the tithi ended, i, e. on Tuesday, 8 October, A. D. 1174,

The possible equivalents for V. 1288 and V. 1289 are: - Northern V. 1288 current: Saturday, 10 August, A. D. 1230. Northern V. 1288 expired: Thursday, 31 July, A, D. 1231. Southern V.1288 expired: Wednesday, 18 Angust, A. D. 1232.
Southern v. 1289 expired: Monday, 8 Angast, A. D. 1233; the first tithi of the bright half ended 7 h. 22 m. after mean sunrise.
Since the tithi, for V. 1288, can in no way be combined with Monday, I take the your 1288 to have been erroneously put for 1289, and accordingly consider Monday, 8 August, A. D. 1288, to be the true equivalent of the date.
