1. In one of “Three grants of land found at Ujjayini,” the recorded date is an eclipse of the moon in Srâvana of 1200 Samvat. Using the erroneous equation of 56, Colebrooke identifies this eclipse with that of the 16th July 1144 A.D.‡ But the true date was 1200 — 57 = 1143 A.D., in which year there was an eclipse of the moon on 28th July, which day was also the full moon of Srâvana.
