Thus in the case dealt with in sections 177 to 179, the Nakshatra correction for Śaka 999 (A.D. 1077) was (Tab. XI) that corresponding to argument 3·279, i.e., ·2394 + ·0059 = ·2453. Deducting this from the interval for Revatî in the 12th lunar month (the year 999 Śaka contained an adhika month, and therefore Phâlguna was the 12th month), we have, as net interval for Revatî, 3·1860 minus ·2453 = 2·9407. Add this to New moon, Feb. 14·78 we have Feb. 17·72. ☾'s Anom. 2·67 + 21·74 + 2·94 = 27·35. Eqn. for Nak. (Tab. IX-k) = + ·016. Absolute ending moment of Nakshatra, Feb. 17·72 + ·016 or Feb. 17·74, i.e., 44 ghaṭikas after sunrise on 17 Feb. A.D. 1078. This agrees with Mr. Dikshit's calculation, cited by Dr. Fleet at p. 162 of Ind. Ant., Vol. XVII.
