The translation of this treatise from Marathi to English was made by the late Professor R. V. Vaidya, a Marathi scholar and former Superintendent of Shree Jiwaji Observatory of Ujjain. He was also a member of the Calendar Reform Committee. This translation was also touched up by the late Professor P. C. Sen Gupta, a renowned Professor of Hindu Astronomy of the Calcutta University.
