"In the 34th year of the reign) of king Parakesarivarman, alias the emperor of the three worlds, the glorious Tribhuvanaviradêve, who took Madurai, Ilam, Karuvar, and the crowned head of the Pandya and was pleased to perform the anointment of heroes and the anointment of victory, on the day of Sravana, which corresponded to a Monday and to the tenth tithi of the first fortnight of the month of Kany."
As the preceding date No. 17, of the 19th year of the king's reign, apparently fell in SaksSamvat 1118 expired, this date, which is of the 34th year of his reign, would in the first instance be expected to fall in Saka-Samvat 1133 expired. And for that year the date does work out faultlessly. For in Saka-Samvat 1133 expired the month of Kanya lasted from the 29th Augast to the 27th September A.D. 1211, and during that time the 10th tithi of the bright half ended 8h, 56m. after mean sunrise of Monday, the 19th September A.D. 1911, when the moon was in the nakshatra Sravana, by the equal-space system and according to Garga for 12h. 29m., and by the Brahma-siddhanta for 13h. 47m. after mean safirise.

"In the 12th year of the reign of the emperor of the three worlds, the glorious Kulottunga-Choladêve, who was pleased to take Madurai, Ilam, and the crowned head of the Påndya, - on the day of Chitra, which corresponded to a Monday and to the ninth tiths of the second fortnight of the month of Dhanus."
The two preceding dates show that this date, which is of the 12th year of the king's reign, in the first instance may be expected to fall in Saka-Samvat 1111 expired. In that year the month of Dhanus lasted from the 26th November to the 24th December A.D. 1189, and during this time the moon was in the nakshatra Chitra, by the equal-space system and according to Garga for 17h. 44m., and by the Brahma-siddhånta for 14h. 47m. after mean sunrise of Monday, the 4th December A.D. 1189.
