It will be sufficient to begin the computation from the commencement of the Kâli-Yuga itself. In the accompanying Tables, Nos. XI, XII, and XIII, I have given the number of days elapsed from the beginning of the Kâli-Yuga down to K. Y. 5100, according to both computations now in use, that of the Surya Siddhânta in Northern India and that of Aryabhatta in Southern India. The fractions of days are given in the convenient form of decimals instead of the troublesome gharis, palas, and vipalas of the native astronomers. - [Previous: c31.2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.epigraphy.cunningham-1883.c31.2) - [Next: c31.4](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.epigraphy.cunningham-1883.c31.4) - [Up: c31](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.epigraphy.cunningham-1883.c31) ## Linked texts (1) - [Sūryasiddhānta](https://indike.org/pramana/in.astro.siddhanta.early.suryasiddhanta) — Maya, Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.epigraphy.cunningham-1883.c31.3](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.epigraphy.cunningham-1883.c31.3) · Pramāṇa
