KALACHURI CHEDI - ERA In the current year 969 (corresponding to 1217 A. C.), there was no lunar eclipse on the full-moon tithi of Āshādha. Dates in Current Years This date, occurring in the month of Kārttika, should fall in 1019 A.C. if the year 772 was current, and in 1020 A. C. if it was expired; but in 1019 A. C., the aforemen tioned tithi ended 11 h. after mean sunrise on Tuesday (the 13 th October), and in 1020 A. C., 5 h. after mean sunrise on Monday (the 31 st October). In neither case was it connected with a Wednesday. But if the deviation of one day is overlooked, it may be taken to correspond to the 13 th October 1019 A. C. 29.
