Book of Indian Eras, with Tables for Calculating Indian Dates c18.10

c18.10

In the second period the dates of Mahâ Vaisâkha are A.D. 310, 322, 334. If 310 be taken as 156 of the Gupta-kâl, then the year 1 will fall in 310 - 155 = 155 A.D. This would place the date of Budha Gupta's Pillar in 154 + 165 = 319 A.D., but as the week day of 12th Ashâdha-Sudi in Budha Gupta's inscription fell on a Tuesday in that year, and not on a Thursday as required, that date must be given up.*
