Summary of article contents:
This article provides a new English translation of Chapter 14 of 补濒-叠墨谤奴苍墨's Kit膩b ta岣墨q m膩 li-l-Hind. The whole book was translated by E. Sachau (as Alberuni's India) more than 100 years ago. Thanks to the more recent work by David Pingree, especially the Census of the Exact Sciences in Sanskrit, we can offer many improvements and additions to Sachau's translation. We focused our attention to Chapter 14 of the same book where we find much interesting information about the history of Indian astronomy and mathematics. In the Appendix we have compared the table of contents of the 叠谤腻丑尘补蝉辫丑耻迟补蝉颈诲诲丑腻苍迟补 as reported by 补濒-叠墨谤奴苍墨 (in Arabic) and those given in Dvivedin's Sanskrit text.
