But the summer solstice, as represented by the Karka-\*saṃkrânti\* or passage of the sun into Cancer, occurred, not on a Sunday, but on Tuesday, 24th June, A.D. 973, corresponding, approximately, to the \*amânta\* Âshâḍha kṛishṇa 5. And, unless an authority can be found for celebrating rites connected with the solstice two days before the time of its occurrence, we have, apparently, to assume a mistake in the record, in respect of the week-day.—By the mean-sign system, \*Śrîmukha\* commenced on the 29th June, A. D. 971, in Ś.-S. 894 current, and ended on the 24th June, A.D. 972, in Ś.-S. 895 current. It cannot be connected with the given year, unless 896 is a mistake for 895 (current). And the summer solstice, which occurred on the 24th June, A. D. 972, while \*Śrîmukha\* was still current, took place on a Monday, instead of a Sunday.—In A. D. 971, the summer solstice occurred on Sunday, 25th June. But this was four days before the commencement of \*Śrîmukha\*, even by the mean-sign system. And this result would, moreover, be inconsistent with the recorded date for Khoṭṭiga, viz. the 22nd October, A. D. 971. - [Previous: c8.s13.392](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c8.s13.392) - [Next: c8.s13.394](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c8.s13.394) - [Up: c8.s13](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c8.s13) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c8.s13.393](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c8.s13.393) · Pramāṇa
