This date is apparently wrong. It belongs to the same year and month as the preceding one and may be expected to fall on the day previous, if we take the week-day to be given correotly, and on the following day if we assume the nakshatra to be right; but these items are Friday and Parva-Phalgani in the preceding date and Thursday and UttaraPhalguni in this.

The date corresponds to Thursday, the 15th May 1130 A.D., which was the 6th tithi of the bright fortnight of Rishabha (Jyaishtha) aod was coupled with the nakshatra Magha. The 6th tithi ended abont 41 ghafikās after mean sonrise, and the nakshatra Maghả commenced about 10 ghafikas after it according to the equal space system.

"In the time (nā!) of the 6th year of the reign) of king Parakesarivarman alias Rajarajadēva,-on the day of Uttarăshādha, which corresponded to a Saturday and to the third tithi of the first fortnight of the month of Vộischika."
The date seems to correspond to Friday, the 24th November 1150 A.D., which was the third tithi of the bright fortnight of Vrischiks (Mårgasirsba). The day was coupled with the nakshatra Uttarisbädba, which commenced aboat 19 ghatikās before mean sunrise of that day, while the third tithi ended about 44 ghatikās after it. We must therefore assume that in the inscription, Saturday is wrongly given instead of Friday,
