Jyotihshastra: Astral and Mathematical Literature c8.66

c8.66

In the eighteenth century the only notable treatises on muhūrta were the Ratnadyota⁴⁶ composed by Gaṅgārāma Dviveda⁴⁷ in 1718 and the Jyotiścandrārka⁴⁸ composed by Rudradeva Śarman at Kāśī in 1726. But the last such work to which reference should be made here is the Vyavahāraratna⁴⁹ written by Bhānunātha⁵⁰ in Mithilā in 1872. This tradition, like that of genethlialogy, is still very much alive.
