This gives Saturday kṛishṇa (30), amâvâsyâ. i.e., that tithi had (10,000 − 9782) 218 parts to run at sunrise on Saturday. Therefore it ended on Saturday, and cannot be connected with a Sunday. Here again we have not the correct date.

Now let us suppose that the given year 666 is a current amânta year. Then the given month, Kârttika, is amânta, and the intercalary month was Bhâdrapada. The given month would be the 9th.

240 (for 8 months) + 15 (śukla) + 14 (as above) = 269 tithies = 265 days (Table IV.)	265	6	9737	617	726

This gives us Friday, śukla 1st. The preceding day is kṛishṇa amâvâsyâ, and this therefore ends on Thursday and can in no way be connected with a Sunday. This date is therefore again wrong. The amâvâsyâ of the previous month (29 days back) would end on a Wednesday or perhaps Tuesday, so that cannot help us. If we go back yet a month more, it is possible that the kṛishṇa amâvâsyâ might fall on a Sunday. That month could only be called Kârttika if it were treated according to the pûrṇimânta system and if there were no intercalary month. The given month would then be the 7th in the year. We test this as usual.

180 (6 expired months) + 15 śukla + 14 (as before) = 209 tithis = 206 days (Table IV.)	206	3	9758	476	564

This gives Tuesday,^[1] śukla 2nd, two tithis in advance of the required one.
