or the very similar system of the Brahma-Siddhânta, explained below, was still in use, at
least on important occasions, up to A.D. 862, is proved by the Dêôgaḍh inscription of
Bhôjadêva of Kanauj; the results for which, calculated by me, have been exhibited by
Mr. Fleet at page 107 above, note 1.
Another system of unequal spaces is given in the Brahma-Siddhânta,¹ chapter
xiv. verses 45 to 53. In its leading feature, it is the same with Garga's system; but it
differs a little from Garga's, in introducing Abhijit, in addition to the twenty-seven naksha-
tras. The moon's daily mean motion,—13 degrees, 10 minutes, 35 seconds,—is taken as
the average space of a nakshatra. And, as the total of the spaces thus allotted to the
