c13.25

To the south-east of the Digamśa Yantra there used to be another dial, whose diameter was 6 feet 2 inches. It was on a platform slightly higher than the terrace, and approached by steps. At the present time there is no space to accommodate such an instrument, and Campbell's drawing of 1773 (figure 67) shows no such instrument. However, Williams mentioned that it had been excluded from Campbell's drawings,¹ and it was mentioned by Hunter in 1797 and by Paṇḍit Bapu Deva Śāstri in 1865.
