THE CHRONOLOGICAL SYSTEMS OF GUJARAT
V. 1217 expired Caitrādi : Tuesday, 13 September,
(or current Kārttikādi) A. C. 1160
V. 1217 expired Kārttikādi : Sunday, 1 October
A. C. 1161
The given date does not correspond to any of the dates mentioned above. If there be an error in recording or reading the date, the given tithi should be corrected in to 10 or 12. According to this assumption the given date would correspond to Monday 12 September, A. C. 1160 according to expried Caitradi system and to Monday, 2 October, A. C. 1161 according to expired Kārttikādi system respectively.
Of the four dates of this region, three dates are of definite character. They all apply to the mode of expired years.
Among the three definite dates, two dates (nos. 2 & 3) give indications about the system of years. Both of them apply to the system of expired Kāritikādi years.
As for the system of months only one date (no. 3) falls in the dark fortnight. It applies to the Amānta system of months.
Thus the results of the newly added dates corroborate the system of Kärttikādi years and Amānta months reflected in the majority of the inscriptions noticed in the earlier chapter.
