Summary of article contents:
In the seventeenth century, the astronomer Haridatta of Mewar, 搁腻箩补蝉迟丑腻苍, produced a table text named the 闯补驳补诲产丑奴峁峁嘺 (epoch 艢补办补 1560, or 1638 CE). This table text provided calendar makers with a complete set of data and associated procedures for the computation of the annual calendar known in Sanskrit as a 辫补帽肠腻峁単补. The tables are huge and represent an enormous computational effort, and the astronomical structure that underlies them is somewhat akin to the Babylonian Goal Year texts and similar cyclic schemes set out by Ptolemy and al-Zarq膩l墨. The accompanying text consists of around one hundred and thirty verses organised into five chapters. This article is the first in a series that presents the Sanskrit text of the 闯补驳补诲产丑奴峁峁嘺 along with a translation and a detailed technical commentary of the text and analysis of the associated tabular material, chapter by chapter. In the opening chapter, Haridatta begins the work with a lengthy encomium to his patron, Mewar Rajput Jagatsi峁僪a, before describing the procedures by which the true longitudes and motions of the sun and the moon can be determined using the accompanying tabulated data.
