________________ 333 THE CHRONOLOGICAL SYSTEMS OF GUJARAT year 1170 The equations between the Simha years and the corresponding Vikrama years are as follows : Month Simha Vikrama Difference year Áśvina 32 1202 1170 Mārgśīrşa 96 ; 1266 Aşādha 151 [13207 [1169] 1321 1170 As here the difference is 1169 in Aşādha and 1170 in Aśvina, and as it is established that the given Vikrama year in Aşadha is Kārttikādi 40 it follows that the Vikrama year in Āśvina must be Caitrādi. Similarly the Vikrama year in Mārgśīrșa, may be Caitrādi, for the difference remains the same as in Āśvina and as the Simha year could not be Kārttikādi as indicated above. This further implies that the Simha year could be either Caitrādi or Aşādhādi. But in the absence of any date falling between Caitra and Aşādha, it does not enable us to decide whether the Simha year was Caitrādi or Aşādhādi. Further, the verification of the week-day with the lunar day yields the following results : Given Simha Date Corresponding Christian date Sam, 32, Aśvina, ba. di. October 15, A. C. 1145 13, Monday Sam. 96, Mārgśīrşa, śu. di. November 12, A. C. 1209 14, Thursday Sam. 151, Aşādha, ba. di. May 25, A. C. 1264 13, Sunday 40.
