None of these dates gives a satisfactory equivalent for the weekday of the inscription's date, namely, Sunday. However, when the fifth alternative (southern expired year, *pūrṇimānta*) is recalculated according to the *Brahma-siddhānta*, the civil day numbered by the eleventh *tithi* of the dark fortnight of Jyeṣṭha is the day *before* that arrived at by the *Sūrya-siddhānta*, namely, Sunday, May 13, 1151, and this is presumably the correct equivalent of the date of the inscription.
