- Chaitradi Vikram (past) : Chaitra-Pausha: subtract 57; Pausha-Phalguna: subtract 56.
- Shaka: add 78-79
- Kalachuri: add 248-249
- Gupta/Valabhi: add 319-320
- Bangla: add 593-594
- Vira Nirvana Samvat: subtract 527-526
- Yudhishthira Samvat: Subtract 3101 (Ascension of Lord Krishna at age 125) from common era
- Sri Krishna Samvat: Subtract 3226 (Birth of Lord Sri Krishna) from common era
- Balabhi Samvat: add 320 to common era
