v1.c3.s16.377

Jyotiṣa, ‘astronomy.’ It is important to note that no reference to any work on astronomy occurs in the Saṃhitās or Brāhmaṇas. The text which claims to represent the astronomical science of the Veda has been edited by Weber,¹ and has frequently been discussed since.² Its date is unknown, but is undoubtedly late, as is shown alike by the contents and form of the work.
