c10.28

29 Generally, (1) a kshaya month is preceded and followed, though not immediately, by an adhika month; (2) there are, as a rule, only one or two kshaya months in a century; (3) the kshaya months must be calculated from the mean moment by means of anomalies before we can prove them to be kshaya; and (4) only one of three months, Mârgasira, Pausha, and Mâgha, can be kshaya, because these are the three lunar months which turn on solar months of 29 days each.
