- How the time stands
- Two times circulate, about 5:00 a.m. local mean time (a printed Indian horoscope compilation as relayed by AstroSage) and 12:00 noon (Scholfield, via Astrotheme and Astro-Charts), and neither traces to a birth record, horoscope or family statement; we adopted 05:00 because it is tied to a named printed source, while the page credited for noon gives only the date.
- About the clock
- India had no standard time in 1891 and the figure we adopt is the compilation's local-time hour recovered from AstroSage's Indian Standard Time restatement, so the offset is Mhow's longitude times 4 minutes; zoneinfo's Asia/Kolkata gives Madras Mean Time (UTC+5:21:10) for 1891, but that was the railway and telegraph clock, not the town's.
The Rodden rating is the standard grade for a birth-time source. AA means a birth certificate or record, A the person's or family's memory, B a biography, C a source that could not be traced, and DD conflicting times.
Other times printed elsewhere
- 05:26:23 (Indian Standard Time (UTC+5:30)) · AstroSage (05:26:23 at time zone 5.5, citing Kundli Sangraha by Bhat); Indian Standard Time did not exist until 1906, and the figure is the adopted 5:00 a.m. local mean time restated in IST with AstroSage's longitude of 75 deg 54 min E, the same moment to within 35 seconds.
- 12:00 · Astrotheme (12:00 PM, contributor Sy Scholfield, source given as 'Biography', rated B, ascendant 24 deg 58 min Cancer, which fits Madras time UTC+5:21) and Astro-Charts (12:00 PM, UTC+5:21, Rodden B, credit Scholfield); the only credited page gives the date but no hour, so the noon figure is unsourced and may be a default.
