Book of Indian Eras, with Tables for Calculating Indian Dates c2.26

c2.26

Jervis's Measures of Time form only part of his large work on Indian Weights and Measures. His Muhammadan calendar is excellent; but his list of the corresponding years of the Vikramâditya Sambat is entirely vitiated by his adoption of the wrong initial point of the era as 56 B. C., instead of 57 or 56¾. His account of the 60-year cycle of Jupiter is limited to the corrupt form in use in Southern India.
