v2.c13.s2.84

This is a work on Muhūrta. It is stated in it that it was written in Kali elapsed year 3068, by KĀLIDĀSA who was the author of Raghuvamśam and other works. But it is false. (see page 75). According to this work, the declinations of the sun and the moon become equal when the third part of Aindra yoga has passed. From this his date comes to about Śaka 1164. If Kālidāsa is at all the name of its author, he must have been different from the author of the Raghuvamśam.
