By the southern luni-solar system, Plavaṅga coincided with \*Śaka-Saṁvat\* 870 current; and thus it cannot be connected with the year 867 at all. And by the mean-sign system, it began on the 17th October, A.D. 945, in \*Ś.-S.\* 868 current (867 expired), and ended on the 13th October, A.D. 946, in \*Ś.-S.\* 869 current; and the month Bhâdrapada of the \*saṁvatsara\* fell in A. D. 946, and cannot be connected with \*Ś.-S.\* 867 at all. The Plavaṅga \*saṁvatsara\*, however, commences when Jupiter enters Mithuna (Gemini). And Mr. Sh. B. Dikshit tells me that,—though, by no authority known to him, did the \*saṁvatsara\* begin, according to the mean-sign system, on or before the 9th September, A.D. 945,—Jupiter's apparent longitude on the day in question was 72° 55'; and thus he was in Mithuna.—This result indicates, therefore, that there may also have been an apparent-sign system of the cycle. - [Previous: c8.s13.359](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c8.s13.359) - [Next: c8.s13.361](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c8.s13.361) - [Up: c8.s13](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c8.s13) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c8.s13.360](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c8.s13.360) · Pramāṇa
