¹²⁶ xix. 3. This was first noticed by Weber, \*Naxatra\*, 2, 345 et seq., who pointed out its relation to the datum of the Jyotiṣa. The same date as that of the Jyotiṣa is found in a passage of the Baudhāyana Śrauta Sūtra cited by Shamasastry, \*Gavām Ayana\*, 137 (\*māghe māse dhaniṣṭhābhir uttareṇaiti bhānumān, ardhāśleṣasya śrāvaṇasya dakṣiṇenopanivartate\*, 'in the month of Māgha the sun goes north with the asterism Dhaniṣṭhās, in the month of Śrāvaṇa he returns south in the middle of the asterism Aśleṣa'; the sense is clear, though the text is corrupt). The passage is apparently not in Caland's manuscripts, or he would have mentioned it in his paper, \*Über das rituelle Sūtra des Baudhāyana\*, 36, 37. Its date and value are therefore not quite certain.
