The word Uttar膩yana, as in the original S奴ryasiddh膩nta text, was initially meant to indicate the six month鈥檚 period when the sun moves to the north, but in later course, the date of winter solstice also came to acquire this name. For the Hindus the importance of the Ayana-Sa峁噆r膩ntis (Makara-Sa峁噆r膩nti and Karka峁璦-Sa峁噆r膩nti) is 鈥榰nparalleled鈥�. Uttar膩yana is most preferred because it is situated in the path of the 诲别惫补测腻苍补-尘腻谤驳补 (the path to the world of Gods leading finally to emancipation or salvation). 惭补办补谤补蝉补峁卥谤腻苍迟颈 can also be spelled as Makarasa峁僰r膩nti.
