¹ *Ind. Ant.* Vol. XVII. p. 141.—In connection with the calendar, it is to be noted that the *tithi* and the week-day can here be brought together only by the *pûrṇimânta* arrangement of the lunar fortnights. This agrees with the result for the date of A. D. 612 (page 356 above); but differs from the result for the date of A. D. 796, given under No. 1 above. And the suggestion presents itself, that the *amânta* arrangement of the fortnights came down from the direction of Central India,—the use of the *pûrṇimânta* arrangement lingering longer in the Kanarese country.—In connection with note 1 on page 349 above, it is to be noted that the saṁvatsara has to be determined by the mean-sign system; according to which it began on the 17th June, A. D. 803, in *Śaka-Saṁvat* 726 current, and ended on the 12th June, A. D. 804; in *Ś.-S.* 727 current. According to the southern luni-solar system, the saṁvatsara coincided with *Ś.-S.* 726 current (A. D. 803-804); the given *tithi* would then fall in A. D. 803; and in that year it cannot be properly connected with a Thursday.
