v2.c12.s2.t16.2
He has compiled the well known work *Āryabhaṭīya*. There is no other more ancient work from amongst the available ‘pauruṣa’ (human) astronomical works. He calls his work as *Āryabhaṭīya*, but many other astronomers have named it as *Āryasiddhānta* and it is quite proper to name it thus. A second Āryabhaṭa flourished after him and he has also written an *Āryasiddhānta*. It is, therefore, convenient to mention this Āryabhaṭa as Āryabhaṭa I, and his work as the First *Āryasiddhānta*, and the author has followed this principle all throughout.*
