In the MSS. copy of the Ayin Acbei^i used hy 

 TiEFFENTiiALER, the days and months were omit- 

 ted. In several we find seven months, and three 

 days once only ; and the repetition in ot^ler MSS. 

 is owing probably to the carelessness of transcribers. 

 Here one year only is allotted to Sa'liva'hana, 

 and 100 to Nara-va'hana, who is tb.e same with 

 ^Sa'liva'iiana, to whom one only is allowed, in order, 

 probably, to keep up his rank and place in the list. 

 , It is also to be observed, that where we put at 

 the beginning of a chronological list, tlie Hindus put 

 1, as we used to do formerly; and that year should 

 be rejected in calculations ; but this precaution is 

 often neglected, even in Europe. 



Tlie first year of ^Sa'liva'hana, but not of his 

 era, was the 3101 of the Cali-i/uga, answering to 

 the first of tJie Christian era, according to the Cwna- 

 rica-chanda; and consequently, thisVicRAMA'DiXYA's 

 accession, to the throne, happened 631 years aftet
