¹³⁷ Whitney, 384, followed by Thibaut, Indian Antiquary, 24, 98; Astronomie, Astrologie und Mathematik, 18. See also Weber, Indische Studien, 10, 236; Indian Literature, 2, n. 2; Whitney, Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society, 1, 313 et seq.; in Colebrooke's Essays, 1², 120 et seq.; Max Müller, in his edition of the Rigveda, iv², xxx et seq., was also inclined to regard the date as very uncertain; only in his popular works (Chips, 1, 113, etc.) did he accept 1181 B.C., or rather 1186 B.C., as recalculated by Main from Pratt's calculation. Shamasastry's defence, Gavām Ayana, 122 et seq., of the Jyotiṣa shows a misunderstanding the criticisms made. See Keith, ournal of the Royal Asiatic Society, 1910, 66, n. 5.
