THE CHRONOLOGICAL SYSTEMS OF GUJARAT Second Așādha, su. di. 13=Tuesday, 10 July, A.C.
1291 V. 1348 expired Kārttikādi : Saturday, 28 June, A.C.
1292 According to Pillai's Tables based on Sūrya Siddhānta, the given tithi ended about 23 h. 24 m. after mean sunrise on Saturday, 28th June. On calculation the true ending moment of the tithi is found to be 5 h. 52 m. 12 se, A.M. on the next date (29th June), while the true local sunrise occurred at 6 h. 7 m. 11 se. on that day. It means that the given tithi ended before the sunrise on Sunday, i.e. on Saturday.
On calculating according to the Brahma Siddhānta, it is found that the given tithi ended about 20 h. 11 m. after mean sunrise on Saturday, and that the true ending moment of the tithi is 4 h 39 m. 12 se. A.M. on Sunday. This means that the tithi ended even earlier,
However, on calculating according to the process given by Pillai,' the given tithi is found to have ended about 23 h. 51 m. after mean sunrise. On further calculation the true ending moment of the tithi is found to be 6 h. 19 m. 12 s. A.M. on Sunday i.e. about 12 m. after the true local sunrise. Thus the given tithi falls on the given week-day according to the Sūrya Siddhānta where we calculate the true ending moment of the tithi and the true local sunrise.
