For the purpose of fixing the year of the composition of the Dana-

When 1091 years expired from the Caka-raja the Ravi-yuga-bhagana 
was thus :— 
Years of the Satya-yuga 1,728,000 
ae »  TLréta-yuga 1,296,000 
»  Dvapara-yuga 864,000 
At the above Galb-peat the Ravi-bhagana year of the Kali-yuga 
was 4270. Adding these four numbers we get 38,92,270. Dividing this 
Ravi-yuga-bhagana by 5, there is no remainder or it is zero. This must 
be regarded as the commencement of the period of the composition of 
the work, At this time Samvatsara, Parivatsara, Idvatsara, Anuvatsara 
and Udavatsara—these five sorts of years had all equally expired.
