⁴ Ep. Ind., Vol. XXII, pp. 159 ff. It is stated that the astronomers at the court of the Kalacuri king were following wrong methods of calculation, as a result of which their predictions relating to eclipses hardly came true. A good astronomer named Padmanābha discovered the mistakes in their methods, made the required bīja-saṃskāra and correctly calculated the exact time of a lunar eclipse. Padmanābha was rewarded by the king for his success.
