Judging by the date of No. 542 of H. 155, the month of Pausha of Harsha-samvat 34 would by expected to fall in A.D. 639-40 (in Kaliyuga-samvat 3740 expired), but in that year no month was intercalary. In (Kaliyuga-samvat 3741 expired=) A.D. 640-41, by the rules of mean intercalation, there was an intercalated month which might be called Pausha on the supposition that it was calculated by the Brahma-siddhanta, and named according to the modern (not Brahmagupta's) rule for naming intercalated months, but which ordinarily would be called Margasira.

• Prof. A. Levi, in the Jour. Asiatique, 1894, Juillet Aodt, p. 62, has referred this date (nad those of the following dates, in which a sign of interrogation bas been put here after H.) to a local ers the epoch of which would full in A.D. 595. But since for Anavarman we have the date No. 533, of the year 14 or 46, even the adoption of sucb new ers would not meet one of Prof. Lévi's main objections to the assignmeut of this dato (of the year 34) to the Haroba en -the objection, namely, that according to Hinen Tsiang's account Amuvarman could not have lived after A.D. 637.
• See above, No. 480 of G. 816 (or 318). . This supporition would be the very reverse of the supposition made above, under No. 481 of G. 330.
See below, No. 541. According to Dr. Fleet, the year of the date is either 41 or 45 ; see Gupta Ineer. Introdaction, p. 180, F.
