THE SURYA' SIDDHA'nTA, &C. 545 



be the end of the year 4900 of the Cali yug, at the 

 instant the Sun is supposed to be entering Aries, in 

 the Hindu sphere according to mean motions. 



11, Now from the commencement of the Cali 

 yugy to the end of the year 4900, by the Sinyci Sidd- 

 lidnta, is 1789767 days 54<^°- 24' 20'; corresponding 

 to the 12th April 1799, at 45' 44" past nine P. M. 

 on the meridian of Lanka y or 51' 40" past four P. M. 

 on the meridian oi Paris. The mean longitude of 

 the Sun, Moon, and planets, at that instant, according 

 to M. De la Lande's tables of 1792, will be as 

 follows ; 



European Sphere, 



Sun ------ 0^. 20« 52' 28",5 



Moon 3 22 55 9,3 



Mercury - - - - 3 22 42 42 



Venus 2 24 6 14 



Mars 3 4 50 40 



Jupiter ----- 1 29 58 2,1 



Saturn 3 24 16 56,1 



12. The mean longitude of the Sun at that instant 

 in the Hindu sphere is = Oi". 0*^ 0' 0", because he is 

 supposed just entering Aries, according to mean mo- 

 tions : but his mean longitude is the European 

 sphere, being then = 0^. 20" 52' 28'',5, 'the differ- 

 ence between the spheres at that moment, becomes 

 equal to that quantity ; which must therefore be de- 

 ducted from the mean longitudes above determined, 

 and we have the relative positions of the Sun, Moon, 

 and planets, in the Hindu sphere as follows :
