[INDOLOGY] Date and place of a manuscript

[Jean Michel DELIRE]

Dear Colleagues,

Some weeks ago, I submitted to your discernment the analysis of a colophon
I found in a manuscript from Kota, and I was not at all disappointed by
your answers.
This colophon contains the following date : In the year 1693 (śake ® 1771
AD), bright half [of the month] Bhādra, in the tenth tithi, a Wednesday,
but I can't translate it into a precise A.D. date, because Yano's program
seems not to work on the net.
Do you have better access to that program so that I could find the day and
month ?

Best regards,

Jean Michel Delire
