Vol. XX. p. 2.—Other cases are to be met with, in which eclipses are quoted as occasions of ceremonies, though they were not visible in India; and some, which mention eclipses that did not occur at all.—This date is of interest in connection with the Hindû calendar. The tithi and the eclipse can be brought together only by the pûrṇimânta arrangement of the lunar fortnights, according to which each month ends with the full-moon day. This is not now the system of Southern India. But the present record shews that it was the system in that part of the country in A. D. 612. And the Kanarese grant of the Râshṭrakûṭa king Gôvinda III. (chapter III. below) shews that the same system was still sometimes in use there up to A. D. 804. The Paithan grant of Gôvinda III., of A. D. 794, however, gives an instance of the use of the amânta arrangement of the fortnights; and this is the earliest instance that has as yet been obtained. - [Previous: c8.s12.182](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c8.s12.182) - [Next: c8.s12.184](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c8.s12.184) - [Up: c8.s12](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c8.s12) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c8.s12.183](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c8.s12.183) · Pramāṇa
