The first mention of the Lok-Kâl, or cycle of 100 years in the Râja Tarangini, is the year 89, corresponding with A.D. 813-14. Before this period only the lengths of reigns are given, but from A.D. 813 downwards the date of each king’s death is carefully recorded, with the name and day of the month as well as the year of the cycle.
