99. The year of Jupiter's cycle, ordinarily quoted in N. India, is that which was completed at the *beginning* of the solar year, and in this case inasmuch as only ·098 of the Jovian year, *i.e.*, only 36 days, had elapsed since the beginning of *Subhakrit* up to the 206th day of the solar year, the previous Jovian year, *Plava*, must have been current at the beginning of the solar year A.D. 1474. When the Jovian year quoted is only that which had been completed at the beginning of the solar year, all we have to do is to calculate the Jovian year for the *integral* solar year we are dealing with or, which is much simpler, read off the corresponding year of Jupiter's cycle from Table XIV.
