220. Column 7. The 7th column should be read with the 8th. The two columns mean; "In a year where there is no adhika mâsa, the 1st tithi of the dark fortnight (indicated by dark figures) of Chaitra, which is called bahula prathamâ or badi 1, ends on the 340th day of the Lunar Year at ·5861 of the day". If we find out the beginning of the lunar year, which we can do from Tables VI and VII, or Tab. X, all we have to do is to add to it the ending moment of a tithi, as given in Table VIII, and then we know the day and fraction of day of the Solar Year or of the English Calendar year, when the mean tithi ends. Examples of this process are given throughout the work. If there has been an adhika mâsa during the year, which we can ascertain from Table X or XII, the tithi is advanced one month.
