The Astronomical Observatories of Jai Singh c4.s1.5

Language: English

c4.s1.5

According to Garrett,³ the *Samrāṭ Siddhānta* expresses Jai Singh's views on astronomy, and this, probably, is quite true; but the implication that it was an original work composed by or for Jai Singh is wrong. It was written by Jagannāth, one of Jai Singh's assistants, who was quite unambiguous on its origin. He wrote:

Previous: c4.s1.4
Next: c4.s1.6
Up: c4.s1
