This indicates (Table VIII.) kṛishṇa 30th (amâvâsyâ, or new moon day), Thursday.

The intervening tithis are 176 + ⁠176/60⁠ = 179. The number next below this in col. 3, Table III., is 150, and shows that Śravaṇa preceded the required month. But Bhâdrapada was intercalated this year and it immediately followed Śravaṇa. Therefore the resulting tithi belongs to the intercalated or adhika Bhâdrapada.

Answer.—Adhika Bhâdrapada kṛi: 30th of Śaka 1699 current, that is adhika Bhâdrapada kṛi. 30th of the Southern Vikrama Kârttikâdi year 1833 current, 1832 expired. (Table II., Part ii.).

Example xvii. Required the Telugu and Tuḷu equivalents of December 1st, 1822 A.D. The corresponding Telugu or Tuḷu Chaitrâdi Śaka year is 1745 current. Âśvina was intercalary and Pausha was expunged (col. 8, Table I.). Its initial date falls on 24 March (83), A.D. 1822, (1) Sunday.

252 + ⁠252/60⁠ = 256. The number next below 256 in col. 3, Table III., is 240. and shews that Kârttika preceded the required month, and the required month would therefore be Mârga-
