REMARKS.
K.Y. 3736 expired, A.D. 635-36. A very close case in the matter of intercalation of lanar month. Mean new moon occurred about 2m after the moment of the Karka-sankranti (mean Bun at long. 90°), and, therefore, at that moment the mean moon was waning, while she was wax. ing at the next, Simba-sankranti (mean sun at 120°). Accordingly the intercalated month was Sravana.
K.Y. 3923 expired, A.D. 822-23. According to the 19-year sequence of intercalations the same month is generally intercalated four times running, i.e. at intervals of 19 years each. Here, however, is an instance of a fifth intercalation of the same month. [See 329 of text above.]
K.Y. 4110 expired, A.D. 1009-10. A similar case. Aśvina intercalated for the fifth time. K.Y. 4297 expired, A.D. 1196-97. Another. Kärttika intercalated for the fifth time.
K.Y. 4408 expired. A.D. 1307-08. Another. Pausha intercalated for the fifth time. This was a very close case. The moment of mean new moon was about 1 minute after the mean sun reached the Dhanus-samkrānti (mean eun at long. 240°), but she was actually waning at the moment of the sankranti and was waxing at the next, Makara, sankranti. Consequently the lunar month Paasba was intercalated.
