"It was King Popa Sawrahan who per the chronicles started the calendar, in Year 2 (on 21 March 640 CE). Indic-based calendars *correctly* start at Year 0 (epochal year). (The Christian/Common Era unfortunately doesn't include Year 0, going from 1 BCE to 1 CE.) So, the Burmese calendar technically began on 22 March 638 CE although it was officially launched on 21 March 640. Btw, most (Western) scholars don't accept that it was launched at Bagan. They hold that it was launched at Sri Ksetra (modern Pyay)."

"Start of calendar, New year's day, 22 March 638 (Eade 1989: 39)
I get 1st waxing of Tagu 0 ME to be 24 March 638! It means 22 March 638 was 14th waning of Tabaung 1 BME!?
But 22 March 638 was the first day according to another source.
(Luce Vol. 2 1970: 336) says the era began on 22 March 638 at 11:11:24."
