Bharatiya Jyotihshastra (History of Indian Astronomy), translated by R. V. Vaidya v2.c12.s9.2

v2.c12.s9.2

*See couplets 34-48, Golādhyāya in Brahma Siddhānta. **See verses 7 to 10 from Grahaṇa Vāsanā, in Siddhānta Śiromaṇi. †See page 127, of the Translation of S.S. by Burgess. Whitney suggests that these values were borrowed by Hindus from the Greeks, because the two agree rather closely. But this is simply a biassed view. Any sensible person will admit that in a case like this the difference of even a few minutes must be regarded as considerable.
