It is undoubtedly a later development. Earliest reference to trigonometrical concept is found in the \*Sūryasidhānta\* ( c. 400 A. D. ), \*Pañcasiddhāntikā\* of Varāhamihira (c. 505 A.D.) \*Brāhmasphuṭasiddhānta\* of Brahmagupta ( c. 628 A.D. ) \*Śiṣyadhivṛddhida\* of Lalla ( 768 A.D. ). More or less systematic study on the subject was made by Bhāskara II ( c. 1150 A. D. ) in the section on \*Jyotpatti\* in his \*Siddhāntaśiromaṇi\* and by Kamalākara in the \*Sphuṭādhyāya\* chapter of his \*Siddhāntatattvaviveka\*. - [Previous: c8.2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.bag-1979.c8.2) - [Next: c8.4](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.bag-1979.c8.4) - [Up: c8](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.bag-1979.c8) ## Linked texts (5) - [Sūryasiddhānta](https://indike.org/pramana/in.astro.siddhanta.early.suryasiddhanta) — Maya, Sanskrit - [Brāhmasphuṭasiddhānta](https://indike.org/pramana/in.astro.siddhanta.early.brahmasphutasiddhanta) — Brahmagupta, Sanskrit - [Siddhāntatattvaviveka](https://indike.org/pramana/in.astro.siddhanta.later.siddhantatattvaviveka) — Kamalākarabhaṭṭa 1633, Sanskrit - [Pañcasiddhāntikā](https://indike.org/pramana/in.astro.siddhanta.early.pancasiddhantika) — Varāhamihira, Sanskrit - [Siddhāntaśiromaṇi](https://indike.org/pramana/in.astro.siddhanta.early.siddhantasiromani) — Bhāskara II, Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.bag-1979.c8.3](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.bag-1979.c8.3) · Pramāṇa
