Perhaps the most interesting of these miscellaneous works is the Bhaṅgīvibhaṅgikaraṇa³⁰⁴ composed by Raṅganātha at Kāśī in about 1650 in defense of his brother, Munīśvara’s, SSBM. In this brief treatise Raṅganātha discusses in detail planetary models and computations, with critical comments on various aspects of the theories of the Paitāmahasiddhānta, Brahmagupta, the Sūryasiddhānta, Bhāskara’s SŚB, the Romasasiddhānta, the Vasiṣṭhasiddhānta, the Somasiddhānta, Jñānarāja, the Yavanas, and Lakṣmīdāsa’s and Nṛsiṃha’s commentaries on the SŚB.
