It is here worthy of note that only 24 ajjh. are ascribed to the ayara after the separation of the ayāraculiyā; and in fact (p. 254) only the nisihajjhayaṇam, which in § 25 is called the 25th ajjh., can be meant by āyāraculiyā;-in § 59 fifty-nine day-nights (rätimdiya) are allotted to each season of the lunar year; § 61 pamcasaṁ vaccharassa nam jugassa ridumasenam miyyamānassa egasaṭṭhi udumāsā paṁ (nattā); see on this Jyotiṣa v. 31 (my treatise, p. 93);--§ 62 the quinquennial yugam has 62 full moons, 62 new moons; §-67 67 nakkhattamāsā; according to § 71, the winter of the fourth lunar year (in the yuga) has 71 vvxon'μepa -caütthassa nam camdasaṁvaccharassa hemaṁtāṇamekasattarie rātimdiyehim vitikkamtehim;-in § 72 enumeration of the 72 kalas which are essentially identical with those which recur in anga 6, 1, 119, upāǹga 1, 107 and elsewhere;173 the repeated use of the word lakkhana probably forms a literary synchronism with the Mahabhāṣya and the Atharvaparisistas.
