so that the 10th of Ashâdha-Sudi would have fallen in the following year, A.D. 430. As there was no intercalary month in that year, the 10th of Ashâdha-Sudi was the 99th day calculated from the 1st Chaitra-Sudi, or Tuesday, 11th March 430, which brings the date to Tuesday the 17th June, thus agreeing with the Tuesday already calculated by two Bombay authorities for Dr. Bühler. But as the day was a Sunday, according to the inscription, it seems to me not improbable that the date may not have been read quite correctly. The only year which I can find that agrees with the week day indicated is Vikrama Samvat 497, in which year the 10th of Ashâdha-Sudi fell on Sunday, the 15th June A.D. 441. If the figure for 80 was injured below, as the figure for 400 certainly was, then the decimal figure read as 80, might have been 90 and the Samvat year might, perhaps, be 497.
