176 PAÑCASIDDHĀNTIKĀ VII.4
Parallax in latitude
2. Multiply the degrees of latitude by 5 and divide by 27. Add or subtract the
resulting degrees, respectively, to Rāhu's head or from Rāhu's tail, where the
Moon is situated. (i)
3. Add three rāśis to the Moon, and find its declination in degrees. This
multiplied by the nāḍīs of parallax (given by verse 1) and divided by 18, are to
be added to the Head if it is forenoon and Uttarāyaṇa (i.e. the Sun is in its
northward course), or afternoon and Dakṣiṇāyana. The degrees are to be sub-
tracted from the Head if it is forenoon and Dakṣiṇāyana or afternoon and
Uttarāyaṇa. For the Tail, the addition and subtraction should be inter-
changed. (ii)
4. Take nāḍīs from sunrise to new moon if forenoon, the nāḍīs from new
moon to sunset if afternoon. Multiply these by the degrees of the Moon's
declination and divide by 80. The resulting degrees are to be added to the
Head if the Moon's longitude is between 6 and 12 rāśis, and subtracted if bet-
ween 0 and 6 rāśis. For the Tail, interchange the addition and subtraction. (iii)
The corrections are:
i. Ø° × 5 ÷ 27
ii. 'Degrees' × the nāḍīs of verse 1 ÷ 18, where 'Degrees' are to be got from sin 'degrees' = sin w
sin (Moon + 90°)/120
iii. Degrees of Moon's declination × the time in nāḍīs from sunrise to (parallax corrected) new
moon, or to sunset from parallax corrected new moon ÷ 80. The addition or subtraction is as
instructed in the translation above.
These rules follow from the formula derived already for parallax correction in latitude:
p-lat = 49' sin z.d. N/120.
49' sin z.d. N/120 = sin w. cos Ø sin (AQ)/120³ − cos w. sin Ø/120², (from the two rt. △ s. Z NA and
Z QA)
= (i) − 49' cos w, sin Ø/120² + (ii) − 49' sin w cos Ø sin (Moon + 90°) × sin h. sec δ/120³ + (iii)

• 49' cos w. cos Ø tan δ. cos h/120³, (h being the hour angle of the Moon at parallax-corrected new
  moon).
