सिद्धान्तशिरोमणि: गणिताध्याय (भास्कराचार्य - ग्रहगणित, मध्यमाधिकार व स्पष्टाधिकार सटीक)

xxiii
mathematics students who do not happen to study
modern astronomy may have a better perspective of the
ancient Hindu astronomy, presented in Juxtaposition to
the corresponding modern treatment. However, I do not
propose to enter into the intricacies of modern astronomy
which are not called for to elucidate the text.
Before concluding, it is my sacred duty to thank the
Rāṣṭrīya Sanskrit Samsthan, under the Ministry of
Education, Social Welfare and Culture, Government of
India, for having accepted my work under the publication
series of K. S. Vidyapeetha, Tirupati and the late-
lamented Dr. M. Ananthasayanam Ayyangar, former
Chairman of KSV and Ex-Governor of Bihar, who
encouraged me in my studies on Hindu Astronomy.
Dr. M. D. Balasubrahmanyam deserves my thanks for
the encouraging interest he has shown in the publication
of this annotation,
D. ARKASOMAYAJI
