Question about Sanskrit symbols

Post by strangeness »

Hello,

I'm writing to ask one question about sanskrit language.I need to convert several dates in sanskrit symbols. I have found how numbers are written in sanskrit, so my question is if there is a specific system how to write dates in sanskrit or I just have to convert it in this way:

१९५९.०२.१७
1959 02 17

I would be very thankful for the answer.

Hi,

We have never seen any date written in Sanskrit.
We asked this question by e-mail to a Sanskrit scholar, who studies Sanskrit scriptures, and he said that he has never seen any date written in any scripture whatsoever.
Apparently, the Sanskrit writers didn't care much about registering dates.
Merci de corriger notre français si nécessaire.
