KALACHURI CHEDI - ERA A. C. On that day, the first tithi of the bright fortnight of Bhādrapada ended 22 h. 20 m. after mean sunrise. In the current year 944, on the other hand, the tithi fell on Monday, the 10th August 1192 A .C. 23. Bēsāni stone inscription (No. 71, p. 368)-Line 1-Saṁvata(t) [9]58 prathama-Āsha(shā)-dhā sudi 3-The expired Kalachuri year 958 corresponds to 1206-07 A. C. In 1207 A.C. there were two Āshādhas, of which the first or intercalary Āshādha lasted from the 14th May to the 11th June. In the current year 957, on the other hand, there was no intercalary Āshādha. 24. Dhurēti plates of Trailōkyamalla (No. 72, p. 369)-Line 7-Saṁma(va)t 963 Jyēshṭha su di 7 Sōmē dinam(nē), âIn the year 963 on Monday, the 7th tithi of the bright fortnight of Jyēshṭha.â The details do not work out satisfactorily; for, according to the epoch of 247-48 A.C., the tithi fell on Friday (the 20th May 1211 A.C.), if the year 963 was current, and on Wednesday (the 9th May 1212 A.C.) if it was expired. In view of the slovenly manner in which the record has been written throughout, it is no unlikely that Sōmē (Monday) is a mistake for Saumyē (Wednesday), in which case the date would regularly correspond, for the expired year 963, to Wednesday, the 9 th May 1212 A. C.
25. Pendrābandha plates of Pratāpamalla (No. 101, p. 543)-Line 26-grāmō Makara-saṁ- Krāntan dattah saṁkalpa-pūrvakah; 1.35-Saṁvata(t) 965â¦.. Māgha su di 10 Maṁgala-dinē. The details of the date are âMakara-sankrānti; the year 965, Tuesday, the 10th of the bright fortnight of Māgha.â As it stands, the date is irregular; for, in none of the years 1212. 1215 was the tenth tithi of the bright fortnight of âMāgha connected with a Tuesdayâ. If, however, sudi is taken to be a mistake for vadi, the date corresponds, for the expired year 965 (i. e., the expired Śaka year 965+170=1135), regularly to Tuesday, the 7th January 1214 A. C. On that day, the 10th tithi of the dark fortnight of the pūrṇimānta Māgha ended 10 h. 45m. after mean sunrise. The Makara-sankrānti had taken place about a fortnight earlier on the 25 th December 1213 A.C. In the current year 965, the tithi Magha su. di. 10 fell on Saturday, the 2nd February 1213 A.C. 26. Tahankāpār plate of Pamparājadēva (No. 117, p.599)-Lines 7 and 8-Isva(śva)ra-saṁvatsare Karti(tti)ka-māsē Chitrā-ri(ri)kshē Ravi-dinē su(sū)ry-ōparāgē;1. 10-Saṁvat 966, âOn the occasion of a solar eclipse on Sunday in the nakshatra Chitrā in the month of Kārttika in the cyclic year Īśvara. in the year 966â. The date corresponds, for the expired year 966 (i. e., the expired Śaka year 966+170=1136), to Sunday, the 5th October 1214 A. C., when there was a solar eclipse visible at Kānkēr, the tithi being the new-moon day of the pūrnimānta Kārttika, and nakshatra Chirtā. The cyclic year, however, does not agree. According to the southern luni-solar system it was Bhāva, and according to the northern system it was Bahudhānya. The discrepancy is evidently due to the writerâs carelessness. In the current year 966, on the other hand, there was no solar eclipse in the pūrnimānta or amānta Kārttika. 27. Bilaigarh plates of Pratāpamalla (No. 102,p. 549)-Line 28-Āshādhyāṁ Sōma-parvvani; 1.38-Saṁvat 969, âA lunar eclipse on the full-moon day of Āshādha; in the year 969.â This date regularly corresponds, for the expired year 969 (i. e., the expired Śaka year 969+171=1140), to the 9 th July 1218 A. C. On that day the full-moon tithi of Āshādha ended 18 h. 15 m. after mean sunrise and there was also a lunar eclipse as stated in the grant.
