"In the Saka year measured by the Råmas (8), the learth (1), the eyes (2), and the moon (1),-(.e. 1213), -in the well-known month of Paushya, on the occasion) called Ardhôdaya, ever brought about by (the union of the yôga) Vyatipata, & Sunday and (the nakshatra) Sravaņa, again on the occasion arising at the sun's eclipse by Rahu, on the tithi of this (eclipse), on Monday,- at both of these auspicious times."
"In the month of Paushya of the Saks year 1213, on the day of the new-moon tithi bearing the name Ardhodaya, combined with Sravana, Vyatipata and Sunday, and on Monday combined with an eclipse of the sun on this day."
For Saka-Samvat 1218 expired the two days quoted by the original date correspond to Sunday, the 20th January, and Monday, the 21st January, A.D. 1992. On the Sunday, the new-moon tithi of Pausha commenced 2 h. 29 m. after mean sunrise, and the nakshatra was Sravana for 22 h. 20 m., and the yôga Vyatip&ta for 18 h. 56 m., after mean sunrise. As therefore during the new-moon tithi of Paasha, on a Sunday in day-time, the nakshatra was Sravana, and the yôga Vyatipata, the coincidence is correctly described as Ardhôdays (compare Ind. Ant. Vol. XXVI. p. 186, Pausha-krishnapakaha XV.). On the Monday, at 3 h. 39 m. after sunrise, there was an annular eclipse of the sun which was visible in India. For a place in Southern India of longitude 77o and Latitude 15o the magnitude of the greatest phase was about six digits.-F. K.

“ In the Saka year well reckoned by the Vedas (4), the moon (1), and the suns (12),-(i.e. 1214), - in the month Śravana, in the bright (fortnight), on the day of Vishậu, on Saturday.”
"On Saturday, the eleventh tithi of the bright (fortnight) of Sravana in the Saka year 1214."
For Saka-Sarhvat 1214 expired the date corresponds to Saturday, the 26th July A.D. 1999, when the 11th tithi of the bright half ended 10 h. 29 m. after mean sunrise.-F. K.
