Here is an example. 1673 years had gone since the rule of King Vikramaditya, and 1538 years since the rule of King Shalivahana. It was the dark half of Shravana, the third tithi (moon day), a Saturday, 11.10. The star was Dhanishtha, 45.33. The yoga (a day-part of the almanac) was Shriti, 33.44. The ghatikas (24-minute unit) and palas (24-second unit) gone from sunrise were 34.32. The lagna (rising sign) rising was Sagittarius. Then was born the great lord Shri Sahasuja. All the kings of the earth served his lotus feet. He was Indra of the whole round earth. He was foremost in leading the path of duty. The birth was at Ajmer.
Simple meaning: Worked example: the birth of Shah Shuja at Ajmer, in the Shaka year 1538, on a Saturday, with Sagittarius rising.
