POSTSCRIPT.
Br PROFESSOR F. KIELHORN, C.I.E. Vishộuvardhana II., the father and immediate predecessor of Mangiyuvarâja, according to Dr. Fleets's calculations, commenced to reign some time in February-March A.D. 663, and the traditional length of his reign is nine years. A date of the month of Vaisakha of the second year of Mangiyuvaraja's reign therefore would in the first instance be expected to fall in or near April A.D. 673%3; and I have no doubt that the proper equivalent of our date is Friday, the eth May A.D. 673 (falling in Saka-samvat 595 expired), when there was a total eclipse of the moon, from 13 h. 21 m. to 16 h. 45 m. after mean sunrise, and therefore visible in India. The question is, whether this day could have been described as the full-moon day of Vaisakha.
According to the rules now in force, the 6th May A.D. 673 'would have been the full-moon day of the month Jyeshtha (which follows upon Vaisakha); by the same rules the saka year 595 expired would have contained an intercalated month Ashadha. By the rules of mean intercalation and the ordinary manner of naming the months, the intercalated month in S.595
