v2.c12.s2.t12.2
This Siddhānta has been described by Candra to the sage Śaunaka. It mentions the number of years elapsed from creation up to the beginning of the present Kaliyuga and directs us to "add the desired number of years elapsed from the present Kaliyuga". This proves that this Siddhānta has been compiled in the Kaliyuga. The real date of its compilation is the same as that established for the modern Sūrya Siddhānta or one somewhat later than it.
