Csoma, in his Chronology, states, that the Baidurya Karpo was "written in the first year of the twelfth cycle, or A.D. 1687." This is correct, as the unit of each initial year of a cycle should be a 7. So also the period elapsed from the introduction of the Kâla-Chakra down to 1687 is said to be 660 years, which gives A.D. 1027 as the first year of the first cycle.
