v2.c12.s2.t77.8

The Siddhānta Samrāt refers not only to ancient works in Sanskrit but to a work compiled by ULUGE BEG, grandson of Tamerlane in the Hijrī year 841 (i.e. Śaka 1359). It refers also to a work compiled by Boosanassar, which seems to have been compiled 619 years before that of Jayasiṃha. This figure may be indicating years of Hijrī era. It refers to the Romakasiddhānta and to the Yavana (Arab) astronomers, Batalmajuṣa and Awarakhas.
