全卷开篇密释纳:一年有四个日子作岁首,各有不同的用处。尼散月初一是诸王的岁首——王在位的年数从这日算起;尼散月初一也是诸节期次序的岁首,定哪个节期算一年的第一个、哪个算最后一个。

一年里有四个日子作岁首,各有不同的用处:尼散月初一是诸王的岁首;王在位的年数,是从这个日子算起的。
They are four days in the year that serve as the New Year, each for a different purpose: On the first of Nisan is the New Year for kings; it is from this date that the years of a king’s rule are counted.

尼散月初一也是诸节期次序的岁首,因为它决定哪一个节期算作一年的第一个节期,哪一个算作最后一个。
And the first of Nisan is also the New Year for the order of the Festivals, as it determines which is considered the first Festival of the year and which the last.
