OTHER KARAṆA WORKS—After enumerating the names of some Karaṇa works like the Karaṇa Cūḍāmaṇi, Lokānanda Karaṇa by Lokānanda, Bhaṭṭila Karaṇa by Bhaṭṭila etc. Beruṇi winds up the description with the remark that “there are innumerable such works”. This statement of Beruṇi supports the inference that have been drawn before (page 120). It was but natural that several Karaṇa works came into existence according to the needs of different times and places. They are not all available at present, and even if they become available, they would be of no actual use. They will, however, be found useful in tracing the history of our country in general and that of astronomy in particular.
