The date is identical with the preceding date, and corresponds therefore to Tuesday, the 4th October A.D. 1244.

The date corresponds to Monday, the 6th February A.D. 1945, which was the 14th day of the month of Kumbha, and on which the 9th tithi of the bright half (of Phâlguna) commenced 1 h. 12 m., while the nakshalra was Rôhiņi, by the equal space system and according to Garga for 7 h. 53 m., and by the Brahma-siddhanta for 7 h. 13 mi, after mean sunrise.

G. - PERUNJINGADEVA.
160.-In the Jambunatha temple at Jambai. 1 Svasti śr[1] [ilo] sa[galaba]vagachchakkaravattiga! sri-ko-Ppera[ñ]jiagadêva[]ku
yându 16vadu Dagu-nâyarra pů[rvva-pakshattu] trayôdas[i]yum Tingat
k[i]lamaiya[m] perra Urošay[i]-®nå!. "In the 16th year (of the reign) of the emperor of all worlds, the glorious king Perusjingadeva, on the day of Rohiņi, which corresponded to a Monday and to the thirteenth tithi of the first (fortnight) of the month of Dhanus."
Above, Vol. VII. p. 165, I have found that the reign of Peruñjingadêva commenced between (approximately) the 11th February and the 30th July A.D. 1243. This date, of his 16th year, corresponds to Monday, the 9th December A.D. 1258, which was the 14th day of the month of Dhanus, and on which the 13th tithi of the bright half (of Pausha) commenced 7 h. 48 m., while the nakshatra was Böhiņi, by the Brahma-siddhanta the whole day, according to Garga from 1 h. 19 m., and by the equal space system from 13 h. 8 m., after mean sunrise.-Instead of the 13th, I should have expected the 12th tithi to have been quoted, especially as, joined with Rohini, this tithi is & mahá-dvadasi (papa-ndfiní).
