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 c8.11

c8.11

We now *add* the total of sun's and moon's equations (+·1445 —·0592), or +·0853 to the mean time already found, 9·1213* d., and obtain 9·2066, *i.e.*, 12 ghaṭikas 24 palas after mean sunrise on 9th May 1910. For the present we might be satisfied with this result, which agrees with sufficient closeness with that (13 ghaṭikas 2 palas) of the Nautical Almanac and the Panchângams based thereon; for if we add the effect of longitude and local sunrise, already adverted to in Section 9 supra, our local time for the ending moment of the new moon tithi will be 13 ghaṭikas 39 palas after sunrise.
