This index gives us kṛishṇa 14th (Table VIII.) as current at sunrise on Sunday (1). The tithi ended and kṛi. 30 commenced (9667 − 9595 = 72 =) 5 h. 6 m. after sunrise on Sunday. This kṛi. 30 therefore can be connected with a Sunday, and if the nakshatra comes right—Hasta—then this would be the given date. We calculate the nakshatra at sunrise on Sunday.

As calculated above	9595	916
(${\displaystyle c}$) multiplied by 10		916	× 10 =	9160
Add constant				7207
				6367
Subtract the equation for (${\displaystyle c}$) (786) (Table VII.)				91
Add (${\displaystyle s}$) to (${\displaystyle t}$)	6276			6276	${\displaystyle =(s)}$
	5871	${\displaystyle =(n)}$

This index (${\displaystyle n}$) gives nakshatra No. 16 Visâkhâ (Table VIII., col. 6, 7, 8). Therefore No. 13 Hasta had already passed, and this proves that the date obtained above is incorrect. Now if Kârttika in the given record be pûrṇimânta, the amânta month corresponding (Table II., Part i) would be Asvina, the 7th month, and it is possible that Âśvina kṛi. 30, falling back as it does 29 or 30 days from the date calculated, might fall on a Sunday. Let us see if it did so.

Chaitra śukla 1, Śaka 667 current (as above)	80	6	324	773	278
180 (6 expired months) + 15 (śukla) + 14 (see above) = 209 tithis = 206 days	206	3	9758	476	564
	286	2	82	249	842
Equation for (${\displaystyle b}$) (249) (Table VI.)			280
Equation forDo. (${\displaystyle c}$) (842) (Table VII.)			111

The result gives us Monday, śukla 2nd. ^[1]
