These five values locate the requested date inside this application's declared proleptic model. Kali Year uses 18 February 3102 BCE as a traditional epoch convention; that convention is not proof of Krishna's historical departure date. Ahargaṇa is this model's day-count from that epoch. Julian Day is a continuous astronomical day-number. Ayanāṁśa is the modelled sidereal/tropical angular offset. Sun-Moon angle determines the computed tithi (0-360° elongation / 12° per tithi).
| Kali Year | 5126 · Kali-5126 |
|---|---|
| Ahargaṇa (days from Kali epoch) | 1872113.78 · 5125.7 years since 3102 BCE Ujjain midnight |
| Julian Day | 2460579.283758 · universal astronomical day-count |
| Ayanāṁśa (Sūrya Siddhānta III.9-10) | 22.8817° · the libration of the equinox, 27° either way, 600 turns in an Age |
| Sun-Moon angle (elongation) | 277.27° · determines today's tithi (12° = 1 tithi · so 24/30) |
