∗ Reinaud in his *Mémoire sur l'Inde*, pp. 331, 332, adduces from Albírúní a Láta, who passed for the author of the old Súrya-Siddhánta; might he not be identical with this Lagadha, Lagata? According to Colebr., *Ess.*, ii. 409, Brahmagupta quotes a Láḍháchárya; this name also could be traced to Lagadha. [By Súryadeva, a scholiast of Áryabhaṭa, the author of the Jyotisha is cited under the name of Lagaḍáchárya; see Kern, Preface to the Áryabhaṭíya, p. ix., 1874. An edition of the text of the Jyotisha, together with extracts from Somákara's commentary and explanatory notes, was published by me in 1862 under the title: *Ueber den Vedakalender, Namens Jyotisham.*]
