बृहत्संहिता (आचार्य वराहमिहिर - स्थापत्य, खगोल, मौसम व जल विज्ञान)

Adh. VIII. Sl. 23-24] अष्टमोऽध्याय 97
Taking the current Saka year 1868, we have the Saka years that
have elapsed as 1867. The number of Jupiter years that have elapsed
as calculated in the penultimate paragraph of page 96 will be
1891 774/3750. This when divided by 60 gives a quotient 31.
As per Sloka 22, we have to multiply the above quotient 31 by
9 ; then we get 279 ; and by dividing the same quotient by 12
we get 2 7/12. Adding these two figures we get 281 7/12. Dividing
this result by 4 we get 70 and odd, thus indicating the asterism
traversed by Jupiter, as the 17th. This when reckoned from
Dhanishta is Uttaraphalguni.
