Frequently the year is given in two different eras; one of which may be usually connected with the solar calendar and the other with the lunar. In the North of India the Kâli-Yuga and the Saka years are generally, but not always, connected with the solar reckoning, while in the South of India the Saka era is usually accompanied with the luni-solar reckoning. The Samvat of Vikramâditya is the only era that is exclusively luni-solar. - [Previous: c9.7](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.epigraphy.cunningham-1883.c9.7) - [Next: c10.1](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.epigraphy.cunningham-1883.c10.1) - [Up: c9](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.epigraphy.cunningham-1883.c9) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.epigraphy.cunningham-1883.c9.8](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.epigraphy.cunningham-1883.c9.8) · Pramāṇa
