Shivaji and His Times c21.1

c21.1

[All the dates in this book are given in the Old Style or unreformed Calendar which continued in England down to 1752, and the New Style dates (usually ten days ahead for Shivaji's lifetime), which occur in the French, Portuguese and Dutch writings, have been reduced by me to the Old Style. In some cases a discrepancy of one day may be noticed, but it is due to the difference between different astronomical works in converting Hindu lunar or Hijera dates into the Christian era. I have followed the conversion-tables in Swami-Kannu Pillai's Indian Ephemeris. Sh. = Shivaji. Kh. = Khan. c. = circa, about.]
