44. Lastly, if we want the ending moment of No. 15 " Svāti " Nakshatra in the same month, we find two " intervals " for No. 15 in Table XI, from each of which 1·9383 can be deducted. In other words, there will be two " Svāti's " in Lunar Kārttika 1910; one about 2·08 minus 1·94 or at 14 of a day after new moon and the other at 29·41 minus 1·94 or 27·47 days after new moon. The equation for the mean anomaly of the first Svāti will be that for an anomaly of 0·53 + 11·86 + 14 = 12·53 days : in this case the equation is - 118. The absolute ending moment of the first Svāti will be 305 + 14 - 118 = 327 or 19¼ ghaṭikas after mean sunrise on the new moon day, i.e., the 216th from 1st April, or 2nd November, A.D. 1910.
