(3) In Southern India, in the Tamil country, when the fraction of the day at which the Sankrânti occurs does not exceed 30 ghaṭikas, the Solar month begins on the same day. That is why the beginning of Tamil *Ani* A.D. 1910 coincides with the day of the Sankrânti, 14 June 1910. When the Sankrânti occurs after 30 ghaṭikas, the Solar month begins on the next day. This is why the Tamil month *Tai*, corresponding to Bengal Solar *Mâgha*, A.D. 1910-11 is shown in Table XII as having commenced on 14 January 1911, *i.e.*, the day after the *Sankrânti*.
