v1.c5.21
Biographical sketches of astronomers have been given in the Madhyamādhikāra (Chapter on mean motions); these mainly deal with authors who compiled works on astronomy. If any of them happen to be compilers also of works on Saṃhitā and Jātaka, such works have been taken into account at the same place. As for the authors who have compiled no astronomical works but only works on Saṃhitā or Jātaka, their lives have been given in the sections devoted to these Skandhas (branches).
