v2.c12.s2.t5.2
The Pañcasiddhāntikā contains 13 āryās (couplets) relating to Vasiṣṭha Siddhānta. The system described by it is somewhat different from that met with in other siddhāntic works. This fact and also the statement of Varāhamihira that “Vasiṣṭha is very inaccurate” leads one to infer that it must have been more ancient than the remaining three siddhārtas excepting the Pitāmaha Siddhānta.
