tlie numbering of the stanzas is carried on through several adhyayas. The 
first adhyaya, called karanavatara, contains some introductory verses, a 
rule for the calculation of the ahargana, statements regarding the dif¬ 
ferent yugas used in the Paulisa, Romaka, Siirya Siddhantas, and some 
rules regarding the calculation of the regents of the years, months, etc. 
The second very short adhyaya is called at its end nakshatradichheda and 
apparently contains rules about the mean places of the moon, length 
of day and night, shadow, etc. The third adhyaya is marked at the end 
“ Paulisa Siddhanta ” and contains the most important rules for the 
calculation of the mean place of the sun, the true places of sun and 
moon, the moon’s node, latitude, terrestrial longitude, ayana, etc. The 
fourth adhyaya, marked merely as “ karanadhyayas chaturthah ” contains 
the table of sines and matter corresponding to that of the third 
adhyaya of the Surya Siddhanta. The very short fifth adhyaya is 
entitled S asidarsanam. The sixth adhyaya contains chandragrahanam, 
i. e., the rules for calculating lunar eclipses according to the Paulisa 
Siddhanta, the matter of all the preceding chapters having been merely 
preliminary to the calculation of eclipses. The seventh adhyaya treats 
of solar eclipses “ Paulisa siddhante ravigrahanam.” The eighth chapter 
treats of the calculation of solar eclipses according to the Romaka 
Siddhanta and contains at the same time all the general information 
about the Romaka Siddhanta which the Panchasiddhantika affords. The 
ninth adhyaya has for its subject the calculation of solar eclipses accord¬ 
ing to the Surya Siddhanta with preliminary statements about the mean 
motions, etc. of sun and moon. The tenth adhyaya treats of lunar 
eelipses according to the same Siddhanta. The eleventh adhyaya called 
at its close “ avarnanatyekadaso ’dhyayah ” contains additional matter 
about eclipses. The twelfth very short adhyaya “ paitamahasiddhante 
dvadaso ’dhyayah ” is the only chapter which treats of the Paitamaha 
or Brahma Siddhanta. The thirteenth adhyaya “ trailokyasainsthanam ” 
contains information akin to that which is found in the twelfth chapter 
of the Siirya Siddhanta. The fourteenth adhyaya “ chhedyakayantrani ” 
gives information about astronomical instruments, etc. The fifteenth 
adhyaya “ jyotishopanishad ” states the differences produced in eclipses 
of the sun by difference of locality ; the different opinions about the 
beginning of the day, etc. The sixteenth adhyaya “ siiryasiddhante 
madhyagatih ” states the mean motions of the planets according to the 
Surya Siddhanta. The seventeenth adhyaya “ taragrahasphutikaranam ” 
gives the rules for calculating the true places of the planets. The last 
adhyaya “ Paulisasiddhante taragrahah ” contains rules about the heliacal 
rising and sitting etc. of the planets, apparently according to the 
Paulisa Siddhanta.
