The book necessarily contains a vast amount of figures and tables, but the perusal of no part of it will requisition a greater knowledge of mathematics than is implied in the four simple rules of Arithmetic. Decimals have been used freely in order to ensure accuracy, but not only have tables whereby the decimal parts of a day, degree, etc., can be converted into *ghalikas*, *palas*, hours, minutes and seconds, been freely inserted, but the more important tables for the calculation of anomalies and equations for *tithis* and *nakshatras* (Table IX) and the Nakshatra Table itself (Table XI) have been twice given, once in the form of decimals and again as days, *ghalikas* and *palas*.
