III.31 III. PAULIŚA-SIDDHĀNTA 71
not being scientific and amenable to intelligent guess. Still, as there is much to say here too, we are
dealing with these, unlike TS who have refrained from doing so.
[भद्रविष्णुमते दोषः]
तिथिनक्षत्रच्छे(द)प्रतिपत्तिर्यदि तथा ततः साधुः |
न तथा च भद्रविष्णोस्तथाऽपि [न] विनिवर्तते लोकः || ३२ ||
Defect in Bhadraviṣṇu
32. If the tithis and nakṣatras as seen from observation of the sky agree with
those computed according to the Śāstra, then the Śāstra is correct and fit to be
accepted. It is not so in the case of Bhadraviṣṇu's work; still people do not turn
away from that and follow the correct Śāstras.
(This remark about the nature of people is true even today).
For the sake of syntax the long dā has been shortened by us. Consistent with the idea intended,
the negative particle na has been added in the fourth foot.
[पादादित्यमते दोषः]
न युगपदुदयो भानोरस्तमयो वाऽपि भवति सर्वत्र |
कस्मिन् देशेऽस्तमये पादादित्येन (नोक्त)मिदम् || ३३ ||
Defect in Pādāditya
33. Sunrise or sunset is not at the same moment in all places on the earth; (so
the place must be mentioned whose sunrise or sunset is taken as the epoch for
finding the days and doing the computation). But Pādāditya, who has placed
the epoch at sunset, has not mentioned the sunset of which place he refers to.
(So his work is faulty.)
There seems to be some error in the last foot and we are not sure-whether Pādāditya is a person
as we have interpreted, or something else or whether the word is the same at all and not an nth
incarnation of the original.

मार्गा(द)पेतमेतत् काले लघुता न तावदतिदूरे |
