Indian Chronology (Solar, Lunar and Planetary): A Practical Guide to the Interpretation and Verification of Tithis, Nakshatras, Horoscopes and other Indian Time-records, B.C. 1 to A.D. 2000 c17.19

c17.19

Opening the first page of Table X, we see a succession of solar eclipses at the Jyeshtha new moon in the years A.D. 12, A.D. 13, and A.D. 14, and we see a similar succession of lunar eclipses in the same lunar month in the years A.D. 20, A.D. 21, and A.D. 22. We also see that in Lunar Jyeshtha, A.D. 12, as well as in Lunar Jyeshtha A.D. 22, there was a lunar as well as a solar eclipse. We shall see if our canons will help us in verifying these eclipses. The reader should note how an eclipse may be located with the help of the secular distance of the sun from the node (i.e., Distance from node for Centuries and Odd Years) as given in Table X-A and the head line entries of Table X.
