purnimanta: By the Tables the 11th tithi of the dark half commenced 1 h. 12 m. after mean sunrise of Sunday, 13 May, and ended 1 h. 17 m. after mean sunrise of Monday, 14 May, A. D. 1151. But by the Brahma-siddhanta the tithi commenced 0 h. 11 m. before mean sunrise of the Sunday, and ended 0 h. 10 m. before mean sunrise of the Monday, and accordingly, by that Siddhanta, the corresponding day is Sunday, 13 May, A. D. 1151.
amânta Tuesday, 12 June, A. D. 1151.
152. V. 1258.
Jour. Beng. As. Soc., Vol. XVII. Part I. p. 315; and Archeol. Surv. of India, Vol. XXI. p. 37. Kâlañjar stone inscription of the Chandella Paramardidê va :Samvat 1258 Kârttika-sudi 10 some.
V. 1258 current: Thursday, 19 October, A. D. 1200.
V. 1258 expired: By the Tables the 10th tithi of the bright half commenced 1 h. 38 m. and ended 23 h. 39 m. after mean sunrise of Monday, 8 October, A. D. 1201, which would make the Monday the 9th of the bright half, and the 10th tilki a kshaya-tithi. But by the Brahmasiddhanta the 10th tithi commenced 1 h. 12 m. before mean sunrise of the Monday, and accordingly, by that Siddhânta, Monday, 8 October, A. D. 1201, was really the 10th of the bright half.
(In the Jour. Beng. As. Soc. the year of the date is wrongly given as 1298; and in Archeol. Surv. of India, loc. cit. p. 38, the corresponding date is stated to be, evidently by a misprint, Monday, the 28th October, A. D. 1201.)
153. V. 1365. Dr. Peterson's Third Report (1884-86), App. p. 231.

1 The Tables here spoken of are Professor Jacobi's Tables. The results for the several Siddhantas, mentioned below, have been worked out from other, unpublished, Tables, which were placed at my disposal by Professor Jacobi.
2 The above heading is strictly applicable only to the dates Nos. 151-158. About the proper equivalent for the date No. 159 there can in my opinion be no doubt, and I consider the date to be really regular, but am unable to prove this by calculation.
* Compare the date No. 17, p. 26 above, which shews that in the present date the year 1365 should be the expired Vikrama year 1365.
