c19.2

During my late tour in the Central Provinces I obtained the two new inscriptions of the Kalâchuri or Chedi-Samvat already mentioned. The date of the earlier one is given as Samvat 866, Mârga-Sudi 9, Ravau, or “Sunday the 9th of the waxing moon of Mârga, 866.” Taking my previously ascertained starting point of the era in A.D. 250 = 1, the date will be 866 + 249 = A.D. 1115, in which year Jyeshta was intercalary, and the 9th of Mârga-Sudi fell on a Sunday.
