Subrahmaṇya Śāstri was a versatile scholar who hailed from the village of Nalleppalli in Chittur taluk (Cochin). His erudition extended to different disciplines, including Jyotiṣa, Mantraśāstra, Viṣavaidya, Music and Dramaturgy, and has, to his credit, several works in Sanskrit, Malayalam and Tamil. His contribution to Jyotiṣa is his *Agaṇita* (A.D. 1851) which enunciates procedures to compute the planets for a thousand years.¹
