v2.c12.s2.t6.2
A large portion of the Pañcasiddhāntikā has been devoted to Romaka Siddhānta. Three couplets of the first chapter beginning from the 8th describe the method of finding the ‘ahargaṇa’. The fifteenth couplet mentions the intercalary months and the suppressed tithi. All the 18 ‘āryās’ of the 8th chapter are devoted to Romaka Siddhānta. They describe the calculations of the sun and moon, their true places and the method of calculating solar and lunar eclipses.
