33 This is the medical arrangement according to Hoernle (see the note to his translation); it is the civil year according to C. Vogel (1971). Compare also Ca.Sū.7.46, Vi.8.125 and Si.6.5–6, where the same arrangement is found. Cakrapāṇi says (ad Ca.Sū.6.5–6 and Su.Sū.6.10), basing himself on a quotation from the Kāśyapīya, that the first arrangement is current to the north, the second to the south of the Ganges. Dalhaṇa (ad Su.Sū.6.10) mentions this view, adding that Gayadāsa rejects it. See also AVI 54 and P.V. Sharma’s Intr. to the 4th ed. of ed. cc of the Carakasaṃhitā. Compare on the two systems: Hemarājaśarman (upodghāta 37–38), who holds that the second arrangement is a later addition.
