[INDOLOGY] five designations of tithis

[Agathe Keller]

Dear Arlo,

For a discussion of some names and how old they are, you can have a look at 
Mak, Bill M. « Tithikarmaguṇa in Gārgīyajyotiṣa: Tithi Worship According to a Number of Early Sources ». Journal of Indian and Buddhist Studies 66, no 3 (mars 2018): 985-991 (11-17).

>> Dear colleagues,
>> 
>> In Louis-Charles Damais' study “Études d’épigraphie indonésienne, IV: Discussion de la date des inscriptions” (Bulletin de l’École française d’Extrême-Orient 47 (1) [https://doi.org/10.3406/befeo.1955.5406 <https://doi.org/10.3406/befeo.1955.5406>], p. 70 n. 1) one reads about "cinq qualifications des tithi". According to the author, there are five such designations for tithis, i.e.
>> 
>> - Nandā (tithi # 1, 6 and 11 waxing or waning)
>> - Вhadrā (tithi # 2, 7 and 12 waxing or waning) 
>> - Jayā (tithi # 3, 8 and 13 waxing or waning) 
>> - Riktā (tithi # 4, 9 et 14 waxing or waning) 
>> - Pūrṇā (tithi # 5, 10 and 15 waxing or waning)
>> 
>> He cites (11th-c.) Javanese epigraphical occurrences of three of these designations, but does not cite his source for the whole system.
>> 
>> Does it have its origin in Indian jyotiḥśāstra? I'd be grateful for references.
