v2.c13.s3.77
The more authoritative works like the *Sūrya-siddhānta*,¹ the *Śiddhānta-śiromaṇi*,² and the *Līlāvatī*³ deal exhaustively with a very technical matter bearing upon architecture, namely, the description of gnomons which were used for finding out cardinal points. The subject is architecturally very important, inasmuch as it refers to the orientation of buildings.⁴
