EPIGRAPHIA INDICA Friday, the 29th March A.D. 1286, which was the 4th day of the month of Mêsha, and on which the 3rd tithi of the bright half (of the first Vaiśâkha) ended 19 h. 8 m. after mean sunrise, while the nakshatra was Kṛittikâ exactly as stated above under the other date. But this day would fall in the 10th or 11th, not in the 9th, year of Jaṭâvarman Sundara-Paṇḍya II. The result is that the date is one of either the 8th year of Jaṭâvarman Sundara-Pâṇḍya I., or the 10th (or 11th) year of Jaṭâvarman Sundara-Pâṇḍya II. E.─ KONERANMAIKONDAN[1] VIKRAMA-PANDYA. 57.─ In the Vṛiddhapurîśvara temple at Tiruppunavâśal.[2]
1 Svasti śr[î] [||*] Śakâbdam
“ In the 15th opposite the [2nd year] (of the reign) (of) the glorious Kônêranmaikoṇḍân, the emperor of the three worlds, the glorious Vikrama-Pâṇḍyadêva, (which was current) after the Śaka year 1339,─ on the day of Uttara-Bhadrapadâ, which corresponded to a Wednesday and to the fifth tithi of the first fortnight of the month of Makara.” For Śaka-saṁvat 1339 expired this date regularly corresponds to Wednesday, the 12th January A.D. 1418, which was the 17th day of the month of Makara, and on which the 5th tithi of the bright half (of Mâgha) ended 11 h. 12 m., while the nakshatra was Uttara-Bhadrapadâ for 11 h. 10 m., after mean sunrise. 58.─ In the Vîraṭṭânêśvara temple at Kîlûr.[3]
1 Svasti śr[î] [||*] Kônêrimêlkoṇḍân Tribhu[va]nachchakkaravattigaḷ śr[î]-
Vikk[i]rama-Pâṇḍyadê[va]rku
“ In the 8th year (of the reign) of Kônêrimêlkoṇḍân, the emperor of the three worlds the glorious Vikrama-Pâṇḍyadêva,─ on the day of Hasta, which corresponded to a Friday and to the fifth tithi of the first fortnight of the month of Karkaṭaka.”
Judging by the preceding date, this date would be expected to fall in about A.D.
1408, and it actually corresponds to Friday, the 27th July A.D. 1408, which was the 30th
day of the month of Karkaṭaka, and on which the 5th tithi of the bright half (of Śrâvaṇa)
ended 18 h. 16 m., while the nakshatra was Hasta, by the equal space system and according
to Garga for 9 h. 51 m., and by the Brahma-siddhânta for 6 h. 34 m., after mean sunrise.
[1] Kônêranmaikoṇḍân or Kônêrimêlkoṇḍân.
