This proves that the moon was waning at the Kanyâ saṅkrânti, and waxing at the Tulâ saṅkrânti, and therefore Âśvina was intercalary (see Art. 45). This being so, Kârttika could not have been intercalary.

The above constitutes an easy method of working out all the intercalations and suppressions of months. To still further simplify matters we give a Table shewing the saṅkrântis whose moments it is necessary to fix in order to establish these intercalations and suppressions. Equation ${\displaystyle c}$ is always the same at the moment of the saṅkrântis and we give its figure here to save further reference.

Art. 96, Table, p. 55.

Instead of this Table the following may be used. It shews the difference in time between the Mesha-saṅkrântis as calculated by the Present Sûrya and First Ârya Siddhântas, and will
