In inscriptions, as well as in the Ahom \*buranjis\*, the name of the \*lākli\* alone is given, and not the serial number of the \*tāosinga\*, but it is universally reckoned that Sukāphā entered Assam in the first year of the twelfth \*tāosinga\*, and it is easy to keep a tally of the \*tāosingas\* from that time on, as numerous events occurring in each \*tāosinga\* are mentioned in all the \*Buranjis\*. Thus Supāṭphā's coins are dated in \*lākli rāisān\*. This is equivalent to the 33rd year, and as it must be the nineteenth \*tāosinga\*, the date will be 18 × 60 + 33 + 568 = 1681 A.D. This, according to the \*Buranjis\* is the year of Supāṭphā's accession to the throne. - [Previous: c25.s2.3](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.gait-1906.c25.s2.3) - [Next: c26.2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.gait-1906.c26.2) - [Up: c25.s2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.gait-1906.c25.s2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.gait-1906.c25.s2.4](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.gait-1906.c25.s2.4) · Pramāṇa
