Dear List,

While I was away from work last week due to bad health, I was able to find

some extra information about " Samwathsara " . I am forwarding this to all who

are interesting, but I do not think this is related to Jovian Years. The

question was " how Vikrama start on this year. "

I re-list names again as follows.

2. Wibhawa-Pariwathsara-Arki Devatha

3. Shukla-Idawathsara-Chandra Devatha

4.Pramada-Anuwathsara-Brahma Devatha

5.Prajapathi-Idhwathsara-Shiva Devatha

a-2 Vrahaspathi yuga panchakabda

6.Angira-SAME AS ABOVE-Same as above

7.Srimuka

8. Bhawa

9. Yuwa

10.Ghatha

32 Vilamba

33 Vikari

34 Shavri

55Durmithi

c-4 ( Name missing)

57 Rudhirodgari

58 Rakthaksha

59 Krodana

60 Kshaya.

To find which Samwathsara for year 2000 ( 1922 saka varsha)

Take the Shaka varsha = 1922

Add 11 = 1933

Devide by 60 = 32 rem 13

Add *1* to rem. = 14

So, year 2000 is 14th varsha; Vikrama !
