ON THE ANTIQUITY OF 



TABLE I. 



This table has been computed from the length of 

 the year given in the Bhasvoti^ Brhoma Siddhantay 

 &c. In Hindu tables o^ this kind, the days are di- 

 vided by 7, and the remainder only set down ; which 

 renders them more commodious and expeditious in 

 practice : however, such would not answer our pur- 

 pose, for we must have the days entire, in order to 

 get the corresponding time in the European calendar, 

 from the excess of the Hindu above the Julian reck- 

 oning, which amounts to 7 days in 800 years.
