Census of the Exact Sciences in Sanskrit

v1.c7.1

AKALAṄKA (*fl.* seventh, eighth, or ninth century) A Digambara Jaina from Śravaṇa Beḷgoḷa under the Rāṣṭrakūṭas, Akalaṅka was primarily a logician. A summary of the various views which have been put forth concerning his parentage and date can be found in NCC, vol. 1, pp. 2-3. Among his works is a commentary (*Tattvārthavārtikālaṅkāra* or *Rājavārtika*) on the *Tattvārthādhigamasūtra* of Umāsvāti (*fl.* first century A.D.?). For manuscripts and editions, see Velankar p. 156 and NCC, vol. 1, p. 4.

v1.c7.2

AKETASIṂHA (*ca.* 1250?) An astrologer quoted in the *Jyotiṣatattvakaumudī*, a work written by the son of Śrīnivāsa Miśra—perhaps the Śrīnivāsa who flourished in Mysore in the second half of the thirteenth century. Aketasiṃha’s name occurs at the end of a list which includes Śrīpati (*fl. ca.* 1040), Bhāskara (b. 1114), and Śrīnivāsa himself.

v1.c7.3

AGASTYA A work on divination from birds, *Pañcapakṣiśāstra*, is ascribed to Agastya. The manuscripts are: Tanjore D 11489 (BL 11041). 8ff. Telugu. Tanjore D 11490 (BL 11042). 6ff. Telugu. Tanjore D 11491 (BL 12143 c). Grantha. Incomplete. Tanjore D 11492 (BL 11043). 9ff. Telugu. Incomplete.

v1.c7.4

It was edited as the *Pañcapakṣipraśna* by Śivarāma Pati, Cuttack 1906, with an Oriyā translation (BM 14053.b.39.[2.]). The *Pañcapakṣi* with *bhāṣāṭīkā* was also published at Bombay; there are two copies—B 1710 and B 1738—in the Mysore GOL. There exist Tamil versions (NCC, vol. 1, p. 17).

v1.c7.5

Another astrological text ascribed to Agastya is one of the many works bearing the title *Agastyasaṃhitā*; the manuscripts are: Goṇḍal 1. 2ff. Saṃ. 1910 = A.D. 1853. Incomplete. Rādh 33. (See CC, vol. 1, p. 2).

v1.c7.6

The colophon at the first section of the *Varṣaphaṇi* in GOML Madras D 13491 reads: *ity agastyasaṃhitāyāṃ pariveṣakramaḥ*. And an *Agastyapaṭala* is quoted in the *Kautukacintāmaṇi* of Rāma, as is Agastya by Śivarāja (*fl.* 1400-1480) in his *Jyotirnibandha*.

v1.c7.7

AGNIKEŚA (=AGNIVEŚA?) (before *ca.* 750) This author is quoted by Kalyāṇavarman (*Sārāvalī* 54, 11-12). He should be dated then before *ca.* 750 A.D. If the reading Agniveśa is correct, then he is the famous pupil of Ātreya and authority in Āyurveda.

v1.c7.8

AṄGIRAS (see Bṛhaspati). One of the traditional eighteen founders of *jyotiṣśāstra*, Aṅgiras is mentioned by Nārada (*Nāradasaṃhitā* 1, 2); see also Kaśyapa and Parāśara in S. Dvivedin [1892] 1. And he is used by Śivarāja in his *Jyotirnibandha*. Therefore, a work ascribed to him must have existed by the fourteenth century or somewhat earlier. But the school of Aṅgiras was already familiar to Ṛṣiputra. The *Aṅgiraḥsiddhānta* in Kavindrācārya 871 is probably fictitious. There is also a *Bārhaspatyasaṃhitā* ascribed to Aṅgiras (Bṛhaspati, of course, is the son of Aṅgiras). Manuscripts:

v1.c7.9

Śṛṅgeri Maṭha 206 (a) (see NCC, vol. 2, p. 20). And it is possible that Ibn al-Nadīm’s A.n.k.w (Fihrist, p. 271 Flügel) should be read A.n.k.r, representing Aṅgiraḥ or Aṅgiraḥ.

v1.c7.10

ACALA MIŚRA (*fl. ca.* 1790 ?) Two works are ascribed to Acala: an *Acalasiddhāntasaṅgraha* in

v1.c7.11

v1.c7.14

ACYUTA (before *ca.* 1650 ?) A Kerala Brāhmaṇa of unknown date who authored a vast compilation known as the *Devakerala*; alternate titles are *Keralanāḍī*, *Candrakalānāḍī*, and *Candranāḍī*. The work is supposed to be based on one by Bhārgava. The following manuscripts are known:

v1.c7.25

The Devakerala has been edited in two volumes by T. S. Ranganatha Josyar, Madras GOS 93, 140, 153, Madras 1952-56. The first volume contains the text according to GOML Madras R 853 (a) collated with R 4056; the second volume, issued in two parts, contains that according to GOML Madras D 13775 and D 13776. The first volume definitely ascribes the work to Acyuta. The first verses are:

v1.c7.26

vāsudevam paraṃ brahma nārāyaṇaṃ anāmayam/ lakṣmīnātham namaskṛtya vakṣye ’ham devakeralam// kerale viṣaye kaścid acyuto nāma bhūsuraḥ/ bṛhaspatiṃ samuddiśya saṃcakre tapa uttamam//

v1.c7.27

And the last is:

v1.c7.28

deśe ’nekasūralāyaḥ parivṛte vidvadbhir āsevite jātaḥ keralake ca tatra tapasā sampūjya śaktiṃ parām/ cakre candrakaleti viśrutam idaṃ tv amśair namāyair yutam śrīmān acyutasaṃjñito dvijavaro jyotirvidām prītaye//

v1.c7.29

The second volume, however, is ascribed to one Veṅkaṭeśa by the opening verse:

v1.c7.30

abhivandya mataṅgākhyam śrīmadveṅkaṭanāyakam/ kāśyapo veṅkaṭeśo ’ham phalaṃ vakṣyāmī bhūbhujām//

v1.c7.31

This makes one suspect that, despite the number of manuscripts and the edition which call the second volume the work of Acyuta, it is in fact a continuation by another hand (Veṅkaṭeśa’s) of Acyuta’s Devakerala. This Veṅkaṭeśa is perhaps Veṅkaṭeśa Bhūgola (q.v.), who belonged to the Kāśyapagotra; he flourished in the middle of the seventeenth century.

v1.c7.32

ACYUTA (fl. 1505/1534)

v1.c7.33

Acyuta of the Gautamagotra, known as Bhaṭṭa and Mihirācārya, was the son of Sāgara or Sāgaracandra (not the commentator on Naracandra), and the grandson of Vāmana. The location of his manuscripts indicates that he was a Bengālī. He is the author of two works:

v1.c7.34

1. Bhāsvatīratnadīpikā = Bhāsvatīratnamālā = Bhāsvatīkārtharatnamālā. A commentary on the Bhāsvatī of Śatānanda (fl. 1099). Manuscripts: IO 2918 (234 b). 43ff. Bengālī. From H. T. Colebrooke. Sūcīpattra 18. (Ratnamālā) (See CC, vol. 1, p. 5, and vol. 2, p. 1)

v1.c7.35

The second verse is:

v1.c7.36

vedāntāgamakāvyaśāstranigamavyākhyānadikṣāgurujyotiḥśāstravikāśanaikamihiro ’bhūt sāgarākhyo dvijaḥ/ śisyaprārthanayā tadīyatanayaḥ samvīkṣya horārthakam tene bhāsvatīkārtharatnaracitāṃ mālāṃ hi bhaṭṭācyutaḥ//

v1.c7.37

The last is:

v1.c7.39

The text contains computations for Śaka 1427 and 1456 (=A.D. 1505/06 and 1534/35).

v1.c7.40

2. Bhāvārthamañjarī. A commentary on the Jātakapaddhati of Śrīpati (fl. 1040). Manuscripts:

v1.c7.41

Śāstrī, Not. (1907) 101. 44 ff. Written in Śaka 1571 = A.D. 1649/50. AS Bengal 7311 (G 3950). 63ff. Bengālī. Incomplete.

v1.c7.42

The second to fourth verses are:

v1.c7.43

v1.c7.44

The colophon to the sixth adhyāya reads: ittham gautamagotreṇa śriyutācyutaśarmaṇā kṛtaṃ śrīpatipaddhatyāṃ ṣaṣṭhādhyāyābhivarṇanam

v1.c7.45

ACYUTA PIṢĀRAṬI (ca. 1550-7 July 1621)

v1.c7.46

Acyuta, born at Kuṇḍapura (Tṛkkaṇṭiyūr) in Kerala, was a member of the Piṣāraṭi community, a section of the Ampalavāsi community which is traditionally employed in looking after the external affairs of temples. He studied astronomy under Jyeṣṭhadeva (q.v.); his patron was Ravivarman, King of Prakāśa (Veṭṭattuṇād) (1595-1607). He was a scholar in grammar (his famous pupil, Nārāyaṇa Bhaṭṭatiri [1560-ca. 1646], refers to him in his *Prakriyāsarvasva*), poetics, and medicine as well as in astronomy and astrology.

v1.c7.47

Acyuta is referred to by Vāsudeva (ca. 1600) in his *Bhṛṅgasandeśa*:

v1.c7.48

tasmāt pratyakprahitanayanaḥ kuṇḍagehādhivāsam
sarvajñam tam praṇama giriśam bhaktimān acyutam ca/
ekas tāvad vahati śirasi jyotiṣām ekam indum
jyotiścakram nikhilam aparo dhārayaty antaraṅge//

v1.c7.49

An obituary verse was written by Nārāyaṇa Bhaṭṭatiri:

v1.c7.50

bhrātar jyotiṣatantra paryavasitā tithyarkṣayos te kathā
dhārṣṭyaikapravaṇāsi vaidyasaraṇe naṣṭo 'sy alaṅkāra bho/
he śabdāgama nirdayam vibudhatālubdhair nipīḍīyase
vidyātmā svarasarpad atra bhavatām ādhārabhūr acyutaḥ//

v1.c7.51

And an old Granthavari in a manuscript at Baroda has (K. V. Sarma [1958] 38): jyeṣṭhadevanṭe śiṣyan trkkaṇṭiyūru acyutapiṣāraṭi/iddeham sphuṭanirṇayam goladīpikā mutalāya grantha <ññalku> kartāvā-kunnu/. See S. V. Iyer [1952/53]; K. K. Raja [1963] 158-162.

v1.c7.52

Acyuta's jyotiṣa works include the following:

v1.c7.53

ʿAṬĀʾ ALLĀH RUSHDĪ IBN AḤMAD I NĀDIR (fl. 1634/35) The son of Aḥmad i miʿmār i Lāhawrī and elder brother of Luṭf Allāh and Nūr Allāh, ʿAṭāʾ Allāh made a Persian translation of the *Bījagaṇita* of Bhāskara (b. 1114), entitled *Bij ganit* or *Tarjamah i Bij ganit*, which he dedicated to the emperor Shāh Jahān (1628-1659) in A.H. 1044 = A.D. 1634/35. He also wrote a *Khulāṣah i rāz* on arithmetic, algebra, and mensuration. For the manuscripts of the *Tarjamah i Bij ganit* see C. A. Storey, *Persian Literature*, vol. 2, pt. 1, London 1958, p. 5: for those of the *Khulāṣah i rāz*, see ibid. pp. 15-16. An English translation of the *Tarjamah i Bij ganit* by E.

v1.c7.91

ATRI The ṛṣi Atri is associated with a solar eclipse in *Ṛgveda* 5,40; see also *Kauṣītakibrāhmaṇa* 24,3,4. Various problems connected with this eclipse are discussed by A. Ludwig [1885]; A. Bergaigne [1885]; W. D. Whitney [1885]; C. R. Lanman [1893]; F. K. Ginzel [1894]; A. Ludwig [1894]; S. B. Dikshit [1896] 62-63; P. C. Sengupta [1941a]; L. V. Gurjar [1947] 151; and V. G. Rahurkar [1957]. He is traditionally regarded as one of the eighteen founders of jyotiṣśāstra. One or several works ascribed to Atri existed by the sixth century, as he is quoted by Varāhamihira (*Bṛhatsaṃhitā* 46,1 and *Bṛhadyogayātrā* 29,3); the former of these quotations makes him even more ancient, as it states that he was used by Garga. See P. V. Kane [1948/49] 5. Many later authors quote from Atri; but the *Atrisiddhānta* mentioned in Kavīndrācārya 857 is undoubtedly wishful thinking. There remains one work.

He wrote a ṭīkā on the *Kāmadhenu* of Mahādeva (*fl.* 1357) according to the *Muhūrtacintāmaṇi* (13,9) of his son Rāma. The same source informs us that he authored a *Janipaddhati* (= *Jātakapaddhati*) apparently based on Śrīpati’s (*fl.* 1040); cf. the *Bhāvaphala* of Ananta Paṇḍita. See S. Dvivedin [1892] 64; S. B.

In an inscription recording his establishment of a temple to Dvārajā at Bahal in Khāndeś on 1 Caitra Śaka 1144 (= 14 March 1222) he mentions his commentaries on the *Chandaścityuttarādhyāya*, the twentieth chapter of the *Brāhmasphuṭasiddhānta* of Brahmagupta (*fl. ca.* 628/65), and on the *Bṛhajjātaka* of Varāhamihira (*fl. ca.* 550).

The Mahāsthavira of the Hastavanagalya Mahāvihāra in southern Ceylon under Parākramabāhu II (1236-1271), Anavamadarśin Saṅgharāja wrote a long astrological compendium in three prakaraṇas and thirty adhyāyas entitled the Daivajñakāmadhenu in which he cites Varāhamihira (fl. ca. 550), Ātreya, and Bhojarāja (fl. ca. 995-1056), among others. This was published from one manuscript by Śīlaskandha, Sthavira of the Śailabimbārāma Vihāra in Doḍanduwa, Ceylon, in BSS 97, 104, 116, Benares 1906. The adhyāyas are:

v1.c7.184

ANDUBARIUS The Chronicon Paschale, a Byzantine chronicle of the early seventh century (ed. L. Dindorff, 2 vols., Bonn 1832), recounts the following legend (of Arphaxad, a wise astronomer named Andubarius, who first wrote astronomy for the Indians.” The complete lack of a historical basis for this story is proved—if proof is necessary—by the fact that the nu in Andubarius must be a misreading of a miniscule beta: the name is Semitic, corresponding to the Arabic ‘Abd al-Bārī’ (“the slave of the Creator”).
