Prasruta (प्रस्रुत) (Cf. ) means “discharged�, according to Bhāskara’s commentary on the Āryabhaṭīya.—Accordingly, �'[...] ‘It is only a rough method (sthūla� kalpa�) to say that the one-sixtieth part of the water that has been discharged [i.e., prasruta] in the course of a nychthemeron is the measure of one ṭi. The more accurate method is to measure the ṭi by marking the shadow of one ṭi, cast by a gnomon of specified shape that has been set up on a level ground. The perforation in [the bowl of] the ṭi-yantra should be made skilfully according to the period measured by the shadow.� [...]�.
