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:
