²⁵ The precise calendrical significance of a "regnal year" is not always completely clear. That is to say, we do not always know on exactly what date or occasion (accession to the throne, formal coronation, etc.) the regnal year began, and how this regnal year was correlated with the current calendrical year. In some cases, this seems to have produced calendrical complications; see, e.g., the cases noted in "Regnal Years" (IA 39, 1910, 217–24), and below in connection with the Cālukya-Vikrama era (5.5.1.13).
