v2.c18.s5.t3.6

² It is dated "in the year following 4694 of the Caliyugam (A. D. 1593) being Vijaya, in the month of Canni, on Sunday the 3rd day of the increase of the Moon under the constellation Swasti". Ellis adds the following note to Canni "..which agrees with the Tamil month Avani, which begins in the second week of September" *Mirasi Right*, App. No. XXVI. Brown, ibid., p. 105. Brown rectifies the error made by Ellis. *Ibid.*, p. 105, n. This epigraph seems to be accurate but for the week-day. Kali 4694=Śaka 1515, the cyclic year Vijaya, the third day of Avani=Friday (not Sunday), 3rd August, the constellation being Śatab (not Svāti). Swamikannu. *Ind. Eph.*, V., p. 380.
