c29.35

200. Then in the period of a mean tithi (·9843 day) the moon gains over the sun the space B'M' but our tithi is the period during which the moon actually gains over the sun 12°, i.e., we must cut off from B'M' a space equal to BM and determine the time during which that space is gained by the moon. Our problem would be solved if we knew the time during which B'M' minus BM was gained by the moon.
