Astronomy was one of the sciences to which Hemādri felt attracted. He discusses at length which months make up a particular season and rejects Suśruta’s views. In his opinion the season called vasanta comprises the months Phālguna and Caitra when the saṃkrānti of Pisces occurs in the beginning of Phālguna, but it is composed of Caitra and Vaiśākha when the saṃkrānti takes places at the end of Phālguna, etc. 178
