KALACHURI CHEDI - ERA the full-moon tithi of Āśvina, on the occasion of a lunar eclipse.â The date regularly corresponds, for the expired year 918 (i. e., the expired Śaka year 918+171=1089), to Saturday, the 30th September 1167 A. C. On that day the full-moon tithi ended 13 h. after mean sunrise and there was a lunar eclipse. If the Kalachuri era commenced on Āśvina śu. di. 1 in 248 A. C., this date should fall in 1165 A. C. if the year was current, and in 1166 A. C. if it was expired. But in 1165 A. C. the tithi fell on Tuesday (the 21st September), and in 1166 A. C. it fell on Monday (the 10th October). Again, in neither year was there a lunar eclipse on the given tithi. If the year 918 is applied as current, the tithi should fall in 1166 A. C., but as shown above, it would not be regular. 19.
