TABLE LX.
CONSTRUCTION OF TABLE. The Table is constructed on the lines of Table I of the Indian Calendar, and columns are similarly numbered, so as to facilitate comparison of details by the Arya-and Surya-Siddhāntas with those of the Siddhanta-Siromani, to which the present Table applies.
Cols. 1, 2.-In conformity with this the Kaliyuga and Saka years stated are current years, not expired years. For years of other eras refer to Tables I and II, Part III, Indian Calendar,
Col. 5.-Years A.D. marked* are leap-years.
Col. 7.-The samvatsara-name-i.e., the name of the Jovian cycle-of the year is given as determined by my previous calculations. See Epig. Ind., Vol. XIII, Table XLII. Entries in italics shew cases where the samvatsara-name of the year differs from that fixed by SüryaSiddhanta calculation.
Col. 8.-Months entered in roman characters are intercalated (adhika) lunar months. Those in italics are suppressed (kshaya) months.
