Vol. XX. p. 421.—The mistake in the year is shewn, partly by the name of the saṁvatsara, and partly by the fact that the tithi did not fall on a Wednesday in the specified year, either as a current or as an expired year.—The saṁvatsara may be determined, either by the mean-sign system, according to which it commenced on the 26th November, A. D. 850, in ‘Śaka-Saṁvat 773 current, and ended on the 22nd November, A. D. 851, in ‘Ś.-S. 774 current; or by the southern luni-solar system, according to which it coincided with ‘Ś.-S. 774 current (A. D. 851-52).—The tithi and the week-day are determined by the amânta arrangement of the lunar fortnights; for, the second tithi of the dark fortnight of the pûrṇimânta Âśvina ended on Monday, 17th August. And this point is of interest in connection with the calendar, by way of contrast with the results for the dates in A. D. 612 (page 356 above, and note 3), and A. D. 804 (page 398 above, and note 1).
