General definition (in Hinduism)

: The Book of Dzyan: The 厂奴谤测补-蝉颈诲诲丑腻苍迟补 and the 笔补帽肠补蝉颈诲诲丑腻苍迟颈办腻

The 笔补帽肠补蝉颈诲诲丑腻苍迟颈办腻 is a kara峁嘺 text, as opposed to a siddh膩nta text, such as the 厂奴谤测补-蝉颈诲诲丑腻苍迟补. While a siddh膩nta gives the full astronomical theory, a kara峁嘺 is a more brief manual for practical use, giving only what is required for making calculations from the latest astronomical epoch in use. Based on this fact, Sudhi Kant Bharadwaj attempted to show that the differences in astronomical constants between the old and the modern 厂奴谤测补-蝉颈诲诲丑腻苍迟补 are due only to the brief kara峁嘺 version abbreviating the numbers given in the full siddh膩nta version (S奴ryasiddh膩nta: An Astro-Linguistic Study, 1991, pp. 24-33).

Thibaut had considered this possibility, and gave reasons for rejecting it in his 1889 鈥淚ntroduction鈥� (op. cit., pp. xii-xx). Prabodh Chandra Sengupta in his 1935 鈥淚ntroduction鈥� tabulated the differences between the astronomical constants given in the two versions (op. cit., pp. ix-xii). He showed that the astronomical constants given in the old 厂奴谤测补-蝉颈诲诲丑腻苍迟补 mostly agree with those given in Brahmagupta鈥檚 碍丑补峁囜笉补-办丑腻诲测补办补 (first Sanskrit edition published in 1925). Sengupta showed in a 1930 paper (鈥淎ryabhata鈥檚 Lost Work鈥�) that the astronomical constants found in the 碍丑补峁囜笉补-办丑腻诲测补办补 were taken from a lost work by 膧ryabha峁璦 I, author of the 膧谤测补产丑补峁珁补. After the discovery of the 惭补丑腻产丑腻蝉办补谤墨测补 (announced in Bibhutibhusan Datta鈥檚 1930 article, 鈥淭he Two Bh膩skaras鈥�), it was found that these same astronomical constants taken from a lost work by 膧ryabha峁璦 I are preserved in the 惭补丑腻产丑腻蝉办补谤墨测补, chapter 7 (first Sanskrit edition published in 1945). The agreement with this old set of astronomical constants has convinced most researchers that the astronomical constants given in the old 厂奴谤测补-蝉颈诲诲丑腻苍迟补 accord with a specific system, and are not mere abbreviations of those given in the now extant 厂奴谤测补-蝉颈诲诲丑腻苍迟补.

context information

Sanskrit, also spelled 啶膏啶膏啶曕啶むぎ啷� (蝉补峁僺办峁泃补尘), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
