Commentary
The word saima, saimī, does not appear in the lexicons, but its derivation from sīmā, and hence its meaning, are both certain (1937–1966, vol. 7, p. 160, n. 1).
śuci is possibly a synonym of śukla, name of the 3rd year of the sexagenarian cycle. In this case, we would have a choice between the years 611, 671, 731... (1937–1966, vol. 7, p. 160, n. 2).
