Bharatiya Jyotihshastra (History of Indian Astronomy), translated by R. V. Vaidya v2.c12.s2.t49: Kalpadruma Karaṇa

v2.c12.s2.t49.1

A reference to this Karaṇawork occurs in the commentary on the Karaṇ Kutūhala, written in Śaka 1482. The commentary shows that the Kalpadruma Karaṇa was compiled by an astronomer, named Rāmacandra, and that he has mentioned a correction to be applied to the Karaṇa Kutūhala. The figures, indicating corrections known as ‘Rāmabīja’ which have been mentioned in the works of Dinkara and Śrīnātha are described later on, are different from those mentioned by this commentator. From this it appears that the Rāma-corrections mentioned in the works of Dinkara and Śrīnātha must have been different.
