c8.2255

A small metrical treatise dealing with astronomical matters in 95 stanzas divided into 5 chs. viz. (i) Madhyagrahānayanādhikāra, (ii) Spaṣṭādhikāra, (iii) Chāyādhikāra, (iv) Prakīrṇādhyāya and (v) Golādhyāya. This work is ascribed to Vasiṣṭha who is said to have disclosed this science to Māṇḍarya to supplement what was expounded by Brahman. This work appears to be later than the *Brahmasiddhānta*. There is another *Vṛddha-vasiṣṭha-siddhānta*, also called *Viśvaprakāśa*, for which see under Vṛddha Vasiṣṭha.
