V, 1192 expired: Monday, 20 January, A. D. 1136; the full-moon tithi ended 22 h. 56 m. after mean sunrise.
Here the tithi can in no way be combined with a Monday in the years V. 1189, 1190, and 1191 ; but the date would work out satisfactorily for V. 1192 expired.
188. – V.1287. - ante, Vol. VI. p. 201. Kadi copper-plate inscription of the Chaulakya Bhimadêva II.:

The possible equivalents for V. 1287 and the surrounding years are: - Northern V. 1286 current: Sunday, 11 June, A. D. 1228.
Northern V. 1287 current : Saturday, 30 June, A. D. 1229; the 8th tithi of the bright half ended 14 h. 14 m. after mean sunrise.

(Dr. F. E. Hall has read the figures, after the words Jy&shtha-suddha, as 12 ; but the 11 is quite clear in both my rubbings, and has been so read also by Captain Fell, As. Res. Vol. XV. p. 437. Moreover, Dr. Hall (Jour. Amer. Or. Soc., Vol. VII. p. 22) has given, as the corresponding date, “the fifth of June, A. D. 1667, N.S.;" but the 5th June, new style, A. D. 1667, was a Sunday.)
