126 The names of the single years of a samvatsara.

Further, every single one of the sixty years has a name of its own, and the yugas, too, have names which are the names of their dominants. All these names are exhibited in the following table.

This table is to be used in the same way as the preceding one, as you find the name of each year of the whole cycle (of sixty years) under the corresponding number. It would be a lengthy affair if we were to explain the meanings of the single names and their prognostics. All this is found in the book Saṁhitâ.
