c15.s1.t4.2
This era may be regarded as another name of the Faslī era prevalent in Bengal and Orissa, in some parts of which countries it is still current. Its years are solar and the names of the months are Caitra, etc. The year begins from the day on which the Kanyā-saṅkrānti takes place, i.e. on the 1st of solar Kārttika. To get the equivalent year of the Christian era, we have to add 592-93 to the years of the Vilāyatī era.
