It contains the commentary called Vāsanā-Bhāṣya by Amarāja. This is the only available work which describes one of the two systems of astronomy as taught by Āryabhaṭa I (born 476 A.D.), generally known as Ardharātrika system and is different from the Audayika System as taught in his Ārya-bhaṭiyam. It was widely read by Arab Scholars and was known by the name of Alarkand. Hence it is a very important work on the History of Hindu Astronomy. - [Previous: c25.75](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.datta-1932.c25.75) - [Next: c25.77](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.datta-1932.c25.77) - [Up: c25](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.datta-1932.c25) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.datta-1932.c25.76](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.datta-1932.c25.76) · Pramāṇa
