THE SOLANKI PERIOD
The given date is proximate to Wednesday, 16 February, A.C. 1172. The given tithi may have been construed with the previous week-day on which it commenced. But it commenced about 8 h. after mean sunrise on that day. Hence it is probable that the true week-day may have been Saumya instead of Bhauma. In that case the given tithi would tally with the given week-day in a regular
way.
Alternatively, it may also be suggested that the true week-day may be Soma rather than Bhauma. In that case the date may apply to the Pūrṇimānta system and correspond to Monday, 17 January, A.C. 1172.

The given date would correspond to Monday, 31 October, A.C. 1216 if the given tithi was construed with the week-day on which it commenced. But as it commenced as late as about 11 h. 24 m. after mean sunrise, it is probable that the true week-day was Bhauma instead of Soma.
