Book of Indian Eras, with Tables for Calculating Indian Dates c16: XI.—Graha-Parivrithi Cycle

c16.1

THIS is a cycle of 90 years, which is in use only in Southern India. Warren has described it from the account of the Portuguese Missionary Beschi, who lived for forty years in Madura. It begins in the Kâli-Yuga 3078, or B.C. 24. As the second cycle would have fallen in A.D. 76, it seems probable that it may have some connection with the Jyotishi cycle of Jupiter, which dates from the same period.
