svāmini karka-lagne tasminn eva ca nandāņśa-svāmini likhitam idam praśastam pustakam (Ahmedabad, L.D., Vijayadevasūri collection, vol. IV, Appendix No. 473; Yogaśāstraantaraślokas). - This is a rather complicated chronogram. The understanding as “1785" is given in the Catalogue entry. Taisa is a synonym of Pausa recorded in AC II. 66 and Amarakoșa. VS 1786: samvat 1786 varșe Phālgunavadi-pakşa-pañcamiti karmavātyām budhe likhitā ... Srimālapure (Ahmedabad, L.D., Vijayadevasūri collection, vol. IV, Appendix No. 88; Kalpasūtra-stabaka). VS 1796: samvad-rasānga [read oanka, S.R. Sarma]-munibhūl 796 same Aśvayuji bahuletare pakşe daśamyām karmavāțyām suci-vāre SriPhalavarddikāpuri ... Vijayadaśamidine prathama-prahare 'lekhi. (Punyavijaya No. 1735; Sārasvatavyākaraṇaţikā). - Note the mention of the prahara as well, something which is not very common. VS 1802: samvat 1802 varse māsottama-māsi Nabhasi māsi rākāyāḥ karmmavāțyām sititara-pakşe ... Nimvaļigrāme cāturmāsikam kurvati (Ahmedabad, L.D., vol. II, No. 5135; Bhartyharitrisati-vrtti). – Since rākā refers to the 15th and last day of the bright fortnight, sititara corrected by the editor in śitetara “dark” is strange (S.R. Sarma). VS 1804 : abdhi-kham-vyāla-candrai 1804 śca pramite vatsare alikham māsi taișe site pakşe, śubhām Sthānāṁga-dipikām 1 karmmavāțyāṁ dvitiyāyāḥ, vāre ru+amgārake (= day of the week) mudā (Balbir-Sheth Tripathi : British Library Cat. No. 15; Sthānāngasūtra with Megharāja’s Dipikā). - (S)taişe: see above about “VS 1785". VS 1811: samvat 1811 varșe Mārggasire māse sukla-pakse saptami-karmavāțyām devaguru-vāsare ... (Balbir-Sheth Tripathi : British Library Cat. No. 246; Șaļāvasyakavyākhyāna
