c7.30

Amongst eighty inscriptions which I have noted as containing year names of the Jovian Cycle, there are only five which conform to the Northern reckoning. The latest is a short record on a pillar in the cloisters of the Lâl Darwâza Masjid at Jaunpur,* in which the date is stated to be "the year Plava of Samvat 1353." Both dates correspond with A.D. 1296. By the Southern reckoning Plava coincides with Samvat 1358.
