Length of the year :
The original Surya-Siddhânta......365 days, 15 ghatis, 31 palas, 30 vipalas; The present Surya-Siddhanta......365,15,,,31,,, 31, 24 prativipalas; the latter being in excess by one vipala and twenty-four prativipalas.
ended, as an apparent tithi, on the following Monday at 35 gh. 48 p. after mean sunrise. Therefore, at the time of the mean Mêsha-Samkrânti which occurred on Sunday at 48 gh. 9 p., the current tithi was the amâvâsyâ, apparent as well as mean. The apparent Mêsha-Samkrânti takes place, according to the original Surya-Siddhanta, about 2 days, 14 gh. 23 p. earlier than the mean Mêsha-Samkrânti; and in the present case it must have occurred on Friday, the current apparent tithi at that time being, - - as I find by actual calculation, the trayôdasî12 of the same fortnight and of the same amúnta month as that of the mean Mêsha-Samkrânti. And as, according to the general rule, that amánta lunar month in which the Mêsha-Samkranti occurs is to be named Chaitra, the amánta month in which the apparent as well as the mean Mêsha-Samkrântis of Saka-Samvat 427 expired occurred, must have been named Chaitra.
11 This difference varies from 2 days, 8 gh. 48 p. to 2 days, 14 gh., 23 p., according to the different authorities. 13 The current tithi at sunrise on this Friday was the drudasi.
