18th year of  Rajaraja,  (Saka . . . ) Chaitra, su. 9, Monday.

If this belongs to the reign of the Chola-Chalukya Rajaraja-Narendra I, the equivalent would be A.D. 1040, March 24, Monday ; f. d. t.  20.  But if it belongs to the reign of Chola Rajaraja II, as the Saka year which seems to have contained 4 figures would indicate, the equivalent would be A.D. 1165, March 22, Monday;  f. d. t. ’09.  See Appendix II.
