[65. By reckoning 3740 Kaliyuga and not 3600 Kaliyuga as the date of coincidence of the sidereal and tropical longitude, we eliminate the Sodhya of 21707 days (Sūrya Siddhānta); otherwise we would have to deduct the Sodhya from the day of the solar year in order to arrive at the sidereal longitude and then add to the sidereal longitude so arrived at as many days as there were periods of 64 years since 3600 Kaliyuga. (21707 × 64 = 1399248, which is nearly 140.)]
