Synopsis
Excerpt from The Âryabhatîya: A Manual of Astronomy, With the Commentary Bhatadîpikâ of Paramâdîçvara
Though the reading followed by the author of the Prakacika is erroneous, both from an astronomical and grammatical point of view, it can not be denied that the error was one of long standing. For we know by Bhaskara's severe criticisms that Lalla, the author of the dhivrddhida-tantra, had fallen into the same error. Now Lalla is more than once called a disciple of Aryabhata, and whether this statement be rigidly correct or not, he certainly was a contemporaneous writer, for he uses the same epoch with the latter, as may be seen p. 58 of this edition.'

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of Indian astronomy, exploring the life and works of Suryadeva, a prominent figure in the field.

Through a meticulous analysis of Suryadeva's writings and other relevant sources, the book sheds light on the intricate world of ancient Indian astronomy, its methods, and its evolution over time.
