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).
