________________ SOLANKI PERIOD 327 The other date (No. 371) refers to Viśvāvasu samvatsara in Caitra of Saṁ. 1176. But on referring the Samvatsara to the Tables of sixty years' cycle mentioned above, it is found that the samvatsara given against 1118 A.C. is Plava in the northern cycle. The number of the year is, therefore, to be corrected into Caitrādi V.S. 1179 (1122-23 A.C.). Calculation also conforms it. The Northern cycle is that of real Jovian years. As the Vikrama era seems to have been introduced in Gujarat from North India, it is natural that the Saṁvatsaras cited along with the Vikrama years reflect the northern cycle of saṁvatsaras. Inter-calary Months As observed in Chapter V, different systems were in vogue for intercalary months. Of the known keydates of the Solanki Period, 7 dates contain references to intercalary months-two to Prathama months and five to Dvitlya months. Five of these dates apply to the given intercalary months both according to (i) Brahma Siddhānta true systein and/or Siddhānta Širomani and (ii) the Sürya Siddhānta (and the first Arya Siddhānta)-true system”. The remaining two dates, do not apply to the former system. On finding the dates equivalent to the given dates, 9 of the given dates are found to be applying to intercalary months, though the given particulars contain no reference to ito. Of these, 6 dates quite tally according 5. Vide the Table below. 6. Vide the table below. Jain Education International For Personal & Private Use Only www.jainelibrary.org
