Southern V. 1107 expired, -
pårnimânta : the third tithi of the dark half commenced on Monday, 1 April, A. D. 1051, 6 h. 40 m. after mean sunrise, and ended on Tuesday, 2 April, 7 l. 48 m. after mean sunrise.
amanta : Wednesday, 1 May, A. D. 1051. Southern V. 1108 expired, -
pārņimanta : Saturday, 21 March, A. D. 1052.
amanta: Monday, 20 April, A. D. 1052; the third tithi of the dark half ended 1 h. 55 m. .after mean sunrise.
Here, again, either the Monday was joined with the (third) tithi which commenced on it, and in that case the proper equivalent of the date would be Monday, 1 April, A. D. 1051; or the year 1107 has been pat erroneously for 1108. And I would here, too, decide in favour of the 62.ond alternative, and therefore accept Monday, 20 April, A. D. 1052, as the true equivalent of the date.
179. – V. 1182.- Jour. Beng. As. Soc., Vol. XXVII. p. 243. Copper-plate inscription of Govindachandradêva of Kananj :
... dvyaáity-adhik-aikâdaśa-bata-samvatsard Màgha-mêsê krishộa-pakshe shashthyên tithâv-ankataḥ samvat 1182 Mágha-vadi 6 Sukra Sriša-Pratishthânè Gangåyâm snâtva ...
The possible equivalents for V. 1182 and v. 1183 are: - V. 1182 current, —
půrņiminta : Sunday, 28 December, A. D. 1124.
amânta : Monday, 26 January, A. D. 1125. V. 1182 expired, -
pûrņimanta: Thursday, 17 December, A. D. 1125.
amânta: the 6th tithi of the dark half commenced on Friday, 15 January, A. D. 1126, 14 h. 2 m. after mean sunrise, and ended on Saturday, 16 January, 11 h. 37 m. after mean sunrise.
V. 1188 expired, - půrnimânta : Thursday, 6 January, A, D. 1127.
amanta: Friday, 4 February, A. D. 1127; the 6th tithi of the dark half ended 14 h. 6 m. after mean sunrise.
Considering that on Friday, 15 January, A. D. 1126, the 6th tithi commenced so late as to render the performance of religions ceremonies after the commencement of the tithi on that day impossible, I here, too, take the year 1182 of the date to have been pat erroneously for 1183, and accordingly regard Friday, 4 February, A. D. 1127, as the true equivalent of the date.
