186. An equally simple method of ascertaining the Nakshatra concurrent with the above tithi is the following, where, however, we use degrees of sun's and moon's longitude. Ending moment of tithi in days of solar year was 150·99 + ·19 (Sum of eqns.) = 151·18 days. By Tab. XVII-A & XVII-C, ☉'s Long. and Eqn. for 151·18 days = 146·69° - 2·04° + ·18 = 144·83° Add Moon's Elongation, *i.e.*, No. of tithi × 12° = 14 × 12° = 168·00° 312·83° By Eye-Table the longitude is that of Nakshatra *Satabhishaj*.
