“According to the teaching of Pitāmaha, five years constitute a yuga of the sun and the moon. The adhimāsas occur after thirty months and an omitted lunar day (avam) once in sixty three days. Lessen the time of the Śaka King by two and divide the remainder by five ; with the remaining years find the ahargaṇa, counting from the first day of the light half of Māgha. The Ahargaṇa thus found begins with sunrise”.
