period Mâgha śukla 5 ended on Sunday, 17th January, A. D. 902, and cannot be connected with a Thursday at all. By the southern luni-solar system, however, the saṁvatsara coincided with Ś.-S. 825 current (824 expired); and in this year the given tithi ended on Thursday, 6th January, A. D. 903. There is, therefore, a mistake in respect of the Śaka year; in spite of its being expressed in words.—This and the next record, dated in the same year, give the earliest certain instance, as yet obtained, of the use of the luni-solar system of the cycle in Southern India. The Śirûr inscription, dated in A. D. 866, possibly gives an earlier instance; but the point is not certain in that case.
