If Albiruni is correct, the 12th Âshâdha Sudi of this year should be a Thursday. I asked my friend Professor Keru Lakshman Chhatre to make the calculation for me, and he tells me that it was a Thursday. Since our astronomical methods are based on the past S'aka year, and even our present S'aka year 1805 really represents, as I shall show in the next Appendix, the years that have elapsed, the current year being really 1806, Gupta 165 was a past year, as well as S'aka 406. Hence only 241 has to be added. S'aka 406 corresponds to 484 A.D. General Cunningham takes the Gupta 165 to correspond to 483 A.D., adding 240 + 78 = 318 to it, and of course arrives at the result that "the 12th day of Âshâdha Sudi was a Friday instead of a Thursday." If, however, he had added 241 + 78 = 319 and taken 484 A.D. to correspond to Gupta 165, he would have arrived at the correct result. - [Previous: c8.s8.9](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c8.s8.9) - [Next: c8.s8.11](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c8.s8.11) - [Up: c8.s8](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c8.s8) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c8.s8.10](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c8.s8.10) · Pramāṇa
