c7.s5.1
The endeavour among Kerala astronomers for continuous efforts at improving their results is reflected in the enunciation by Parameśvara in a later work of his, viz. Dṛggaṇita, a correction to one of his earlier works, the Grahaṇamaṇḍana. This correction which is to be applied to the Mean positions of the Sun, Moon, Higher apsis and Node as calculated according to the Grahaṇamaṇḍana is given at the close of his Dṛggaṇita, II. 47-50, with the introductory statement :
c7.s5.2
kāryo graheṣu Grahaṇamaṇḍanokteṣv ataḥ param |
