THE INDIAN ANTIQUARY.
[JULY, 1889.
(3), we have 4561 + 2 = 4563 as the number (from the commencement of the Kaliyuga) of the year Manmatha of our date. We now find - (a) for the end of Manmatha without Bija :
361.02672103 x 4563 1647 364-92805989 + 588 465-7500
2235 8306781, i.e. 15th May, A.D. 1409, 16 h. 165 m.; and for the beginning of Manmatha without Bija, by deducting one year without Bija :
2235 830-6781
- 361.0267
2235 469-6514, i.e. 19th May, A.D. 1408, 15 h. 38 m. (b) for the end of Manmatha with Bija :
361.0346511 X 4563 1647 401.1129693 + 588 465-7500
2235 866-8630, i.e. 20th June, A.D. 1409, 20 h. 42:7 m.; and for the beginning of Manmatha with Bija, by deducting one year with Bija:
2235 866-8630
- 361.0347
2235 505-8283, i.e. 24th Jane, A.D. 1408, 19 h. 52.8 m. The year Manmatha, without Bija, therefore lasted from
19th May, A.D. 1408, 15 h. 38 m., to 15th May, A.D. 1409, 16 h. 16-5 m.; and the same year, with Bija, from
24th June, A.D. 1408, 19 h. 52.8 m., to 20th June, A.D. 1409, 20 h. 42.7 m.; and it is clear that of the two otherwise possible European equivalents of the Hindu date (Wednesday, 25th May, A.D. 1407, and Wednesday, 11th July, A.D. 1408) only the second can be the true date, because only this date falls in the year Manmatha.
4. It is apparent that the above rules may be combined to ascertain or verify the occasion of a kshaya or expunged year of Jupiter. Thus it may be shown that Subhaksit, the 10th year of the cycle, counted from Vijaya (inclusive), with Bija, was such a year in Kali- . yaga 4873, current. By the above we find that Kaliyuga 4872 ended, and Kaliyuga 4873 began -
365-2587565 x 4872 1779 540-6616680 + 588 463-6024
2368 004-2640680, i.e. 10th April, A. D. 1771, new style, 6 h. 20-3 m.; and that Kaliyuga 4873 ended -
2368 004-2640680
+ 365.2587565
2368 369-5228, i.e. 9th April, A.D. 1772, new style, 12 h. 32.8 m. We also find that (since Subhaksit in Kaliyuga 4873 must have been the 4930th year of Jupiter from the commencement of the Kaliyuga) Subhakțit with Bija commenced, or the preceding year Plava (4929) ended -
361.0346511 x 4929 1779 539-7952719 + 588 465.7500
2368 005.5452719, ie 11th April, A.D. 1771, new style, 13 h. 5-2 m.;
