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. - [Previous: v1.c7.90](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.pingree-1970.v1.c7.90) - [Next: v1.c7.92](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.pingree-1970.v1.c7.92) - [Up: v1.c7](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.pingree-1970.v1.c7) ## Linked texts (4) - [Kauṣītakibrāhmaṇa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki.24.3.4) — Kauṣītaki, Sanskrit - [Bṛhatsaṃhitā](https://indike.org/pramana/in.astro.samhita.rsi.brhatsamhita.46.1) — Varāhamihira, Sanskrit - [Bṛhadyātrā](https://indike.org/pramana/in.astro.yatra.brhadyatra.29.3) — Varāhamihira, Sanskrit - [Ṛgvedasaṃhitā](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.samhita.rg.5.40) — Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.pingree-1970.v1.c7.91](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.pingree-1970.v1.c7.91) · Pramāṇa
