68 BRĀHMSPHUṬA SIDDHĀNTA & KHAṆḌAKHĀDAYAK
we have difficulty. The Sūryasiddhānta, as summarised
by Varāhamihira in his Pañcasiddhāntikā, in many
essential features differs from the system prescribed by
the Text of the Sūryasiddhānta now available. So we
have two versions, the one with which Varāhmihira was
familiar and the modern one.
The present Sūryasiddhānta comprises of fourteen chapters
called adhyāyas. We have an authentic commetary on it by
Parameśvara. The first two chapters of the Sūryasiddhānta have
no special name. The classification of chapters is as follows :
