Notes
A. A pentad year yuga cycle consists of first and second lunar year, third increased year, fourth lunar year and fifth increased year. In lunar year, a lunar month has 29 days. Thus the days of a lunar year are 29 x 12 days while increased (abhivardhita) year has 29 x 13 days. The sum of the first and second lunar years and third increased years is1092-days. A solar year having 366 days, three solar years' days have 366 x3= 1098 days. Thus three solar years have 5 days more than the sum of three i.e. the first and second lunar years and third increased years. The three solar years terminate on the sixth of the dark half of the month of Śrāvana while three lunar years culminate on the full moon night of Āsādha. Therefore when, after completion of the third solar year, the southward motion of the sun begins on the 7th of the dark half of Śrāvaņa, the fourth lunar year has already commenced. The sun
