THE INDIAN ANTIQUARY.
(NOVEMBER, 1890.
Northern V. 1145 expired: the third tithi of the bright half commenced on Monday, 21 August, A. D. 1088, 3 h. 28 m. after mean sunrise, and ended on Tuesday, 22 August, 3 h. 24 m. after mean sunrise.
Southern V. 1145 expired: Saturday, 11 August, A, D. 1089. Southern V. 1146 expired, in which Bhadrapada was intercalary, -
first Bhadrapada : Thursday, 1 August, A. D. 1090;
second Bhadrapada: Friday, 30 August, A. D. 1090. Southern V. 1147 expired: Wed nesday, 20 August, A. D. 1091.
Here the probability is that Monday, 21 August, A. D. 1088, is the true equivalent of the date ; but, unable to make out the object of the inscription from the published lithograph, I can give no reasons why the day should have been joined with the (third) tithi which commenced on it.
171. – V. 1173. - Epigraphia Indica, Vol. I. p. 147. Date of the renewal, by the Chandolle Jayavarmadêva, of the Khajuraho inscription of Dhangadêva :
(Line 34)... Samvat 1173 Vaisa (sa)kha-áudi 3 Sukro il
The possible equivalents for V. 1173 and the surrounding years are :-- Northern V. 1172 current: Thursday, 9 April, A. D. 1114; the third tithi of the bright half ended 22. 18 m. after mean sunrise.
Northern V. 1173 current : Tuesday, 30 March, A. D. 1115. Northern V. 1173 expired: Monday, 17 April, A. D. 1116.
Southern v. 1178 expired: the third tithi of the brigbt balf commenced on Friday. 6 April, A. D. 1117,2 h. 16 m. after mean sunrise, and ended on Saturday, 7 April, 2 h. 29 m. after mean sunrise.
Southern V. 1174 expired: Thursday, 25 April, A. D. 1118; the third tithi of the bright half ended 21 h. 48 m. after mean sunrise. Southern V. 1175 expired: Monday, 14 April, A. D. 1119.
Here, again, the probability is that Friday, 6 April, A. D. 1117, is the true equivalent of the date, but no reason is apparent why the day should have been joined with the (third) tithi which commenced on it.
172. – V. 1185. - Jour. Beng. As. Soc., Vol. LVI. Part I. p. 120, and Plate viii. Copperplate inscription of Gôvindachandradêva of Kanauj:

The possible equivalents for V. 1185 and the surrounding years are :Northern V. 1184 current: Wednesday, 10 March, A. D. 1126. Northern V. 1185 current: Tuesday, 29 March, A. D. 1127. Northern V. 1185 expired: Sunday, 18 March, A. D. 1128.

Southern V: 1186 expired: Wednesday, 26 March, A. D. 1130. Soathern V. 1187 expired: Sunday, 15 March, A.D. 1131.
I have already stated, ante, Vol. XVIII. p. 59, that I consider Friday, 5 April, A. D. 1129, to be the true equivalent of the date, and that I believe the ceremonies connected with the manvadi festival to have been performed late in the afternoon of that day, after the commencement of the full-moon tithi.
