History of Mediaeval Hindu India (being a History of India from 600 to 1200 A.D.) v1.c7.s5.6

v1.c7.s5.6

To find the exact English date and for the purpose of corroboration I myself made calculations from Sewell and Dexit's tables for the years A. D. 588, 589, 590 and 591. I also found that Vaishākha Vadya would not suit as Krittikas and Dvādashī do not fall together in any of these years but they come together on Jyestha Vadya in the years 589 and 590. Particularly in 590 A. D. there is Dvādashī from sunrise and the Tithi lasts for 22 hours and more, Krittikānakshatra beginning at about 4 hours after sunrise. This year, therefore, suits the requirements most correctly and the corresponding English date and day are Sunday 4th June 590 A. D.
