This figure () by Table VIII., cols. 2, 3, indicates śukla 12th.
(N.B. iii., Art. 147) = 164 and Table IX. gives this as June 13th. The () is 3 = Tuesday. The year (Table II. Part iii.) is 1780 A.D.
The figure of (), 3668, shows that the 12th tithi and not the required tithi (11th) was current at sunrise on Tuesday; but we found in example 2 that the 10th tithi was current at sunrise on Monday, June 12th, and we therefore learn that the 11th tithi was expunged. It commenced 1 h. 42 min. after sunrise on Monday and ended 4 minutes before sunrise on Tuesday, 13th June.[1] The corresponding day answering to śukla 10th is therefore Monday, June 12th, and that answering to śukla 12 is Tuesday the 13th June.
Example iv. Required the week-day and equivalent A.D. of the pûrṇimânta Âshâḍha kṛishṇa dvitîyâ (2) of the Northern Vikrama year 1837 expired, 1838 current. The northern Vikrama is a Chaitrâdi year, and so the year is the same as in the previous example, viz., A.D. 1780—1 (Table II., Part iii.). The corresponding amânta month is Jyeshṭha (Table II., Part i.). Work therefore for Jyeshṭha krishna 2nd in A.D. 1780—1 (Table I.).

| 60 (coll. dur. to end Vaiś.) + 15 (for kṛishṇa fortnight) + 1 (given date minus 1) = 76 tithis = 75 days (as before); Table IV. gives | 75 | 5 | 5397 | 722 | 205 |

(N.B. iii., Art. 147) = 170 = (Table IX.) 19th June. (2) = Monday. The year is 1780 A.D.
So far we have Monday, 19th June, A.D. 1780. But the figure 5685 for () shows that kṛi. 3rd and not the 2nd was current at sunrise on Monday the 19th June. It commenced (5685 − 5667 = 18 =) 1 h. 17 m. before sunrise on Monday. () being greater, but within 40, than the ending point of kṛi. 2nd, and the equation for () decreasing, it appears that a repetition of a tithi will shortly follow (but not precede). And thus we know that Sunday the 18th June is the equivalent of kṛi. 2nd.
Example v. Required the week-day and equivalent A.D. of the amânta Jyeshṭha kṛi. 3rd of the Śaka year 1703 current, the same as in the last 4 examples.
