Indian Chronology (Solar, Lunar and Planetary): A Practical Guide to the Interpretation and Verification of Tithis, Nakshatras, Horoscopes and other Indian Time-records, B.C. 1 to A.D. 2000 c2.2

c2.2

The bulk of the tables, as well as of the letter-press, is devoted to a detailed exhibition of the decursus of Indian Chronology, solar, lunar and planetary, with eclipses, week-days, English calendar months and dates, adhika and kshaya masas, and mean places of the Sun and major planets, from B.C. 1 to A.D. 2000. The portion of the work, called Table X, will, it is hoped, supply a long-felt want among Epigraphists and Archæologists, official as well as non-official, in India, inasmuch as it will enable them to verify on the spot and in less than a minute in any case, the exact English equivalent of any Indian date occurring in any inscription as well as to test its genuineness. The instructions set opposite the Eye-Table at the end of the book are alone sufficient for any person, however previously unacquainted with the subject, to calculate quite accurately the ending moment of a tithi or nakshatra.
