part of a Mafia yug*, and the revolutions of each 

 planet, given in that cycle, are as follows : 



Sun, revolutions 1080000 



Moon, 14438334 



Mercury, 4484265 



Venus, 1755594 



Mars, ' 574208 



Jupiter. 91055 



Saturn, 36642 



2S- These revolutions were found by multiplying 

 the mean annual motions by 1080000, the number 

 of years assumed to the cycle : rejecting from the 

 product all fractional parts of a revolution under six 

 signs, and adding one revolution tor those equaJ to or 

 above that quantity. Thus let the mean annual mo- 

 tions which we have determined [\ 16) on the as- 

 sumption of the planets having been in a line of 

 mean conjunction at the beginning of the Call yugy 

 be multiplied by 1080000, and we shall have.

From which rejecting ajl fractional parts of a revolu-

 we have.

* Th e revolutions given in the Suiya Siddhanta are for a Maha. 

 yug, but thev n^ust be always divisible by four, otherwise a mean 

 conjunction could not take place at the beginning of the Cahyug. 

 They are here reduced accordingly.
