Kavi Raj Sliyamal Das —On the Prithi Raj Rasa. [No. 1, 
(c.) The same years (viz., eleven hundred) are found in the MSS. 
of the ‘ Rasa ’ about one or two centuries old, as well as in comparatively 
modern ones. 
(cZ.) It is not as if the years were mentioned only in one or two 
places which might be due to a mistake of the scribe; they are found in 
many places, and moreover the years, months and dates are written in 
words in the form of couplets and verses in the horoscope of Prithi Raj, 
given in the Rasa. 
The horoscojDe on being examined by Narayan Dev Shastri [a learned 
Pandit of Benares, and who is in the Mewar State service] has not 
been found to tally with the data, according to his calculations given 
below 
Data. 
*‘Born in S. 1115, on Thursday, the third of the waning Moon of 
Baisakh. It was the Chitra Nakshatra, and Sidhi Jog—one and a half 
ghatikas previous to sunrise, when the child was born. His name being 
Prithi Raj, his Rashi is the first half of Chitra, ^. e., Virgo or Kanya : 
the Moon and Mars are in the 5th mansion, and Virgo is also in the 
same: that is, the birth took place in the Vrisha Lagna ; Saturn is in the 
eighth; Jupiter, Mercury and Venus in the tenth j Rahu in the eleventh, 
and the Sun in the 12th mansion. 
Qucesita. 
Required to find out whether these combinations are correct or 
otherwise according to astronomical calculations. 
Now, according to the Suryasiddhanta the third date of Baisakh 
Badi S. 1115, falls on Sunday. 
Kali Jug Ahargan, i. e., the number of days since the commencement 
of Kali Jug is 1519100; 
(clear Sun)—11/21/24/49 ; 
(clear Moon)—6/16/27/17 ; 
Nakshatra should be Swati—(^T^) and Jog should be Vajra—(^If)- 
Since the birth happened before sunrise, the Sun could never have 
been in the 12th mansion from the Lagna; the Sun is in the 12fch man¬ 
sion in the Vrisha Lagna, when it is in (Aries t) ; but in the data it 
is in (Pisces)—which is impossible. 
The position of the other Planets or Grahas, e. g., Mars, &c. need not 
be discussed; because the position of the Sun having been shown to be 
incorrect, it is certain that the other combinations recorded in the horo¬ 
scope are also impossible.
