that moments I would reckon you as one who could be
well compared with the goad that could be applied to the
head of the wild elephants of puffed up astronomers.
Verses 82, 83. Answer to the first question.
Assume the H sine of the Unnatakāla to be Iṣṭa Hṛti
in the first place. Multiply it by 12 s and divide by k² the
square of the Viṣuvatkarṇa. Then you get an approximate
value of H sin δ. Then compute with this, H sin δ,
Charajyā etc. and thereby obtain a more correct value of
the Iṣṭa Hṛti. Multiply this by the H sin δ got before
and divide by the first Hṛti assumed. Then we have a
nearer approximation of H sin δ. Repeat the process till
a stationary value has been reached. That will be the
correct H sin δ.
Comm. We know that H sine of the Unnatakāla is
nearly the Iṣṭāntyakā. It will be noted that Iṣṭāntyakā
is the sum of two H sines namely (1) Carajyā (2)
H sine of Unnatakāla minus Chara. The second H sine is
called Sūtra or H cos h. (Vide page 278).
Thus Sūtra + Carajya = Iṣṭāntyaka whereas
H sine (Unnatakāla) = H sine of the Cāpas of Carajyā and
Sūtra. In other words H sin (Unnatakāla) =
H sin (H sin⁻¹ Carajyā + H sin⁻¹ (Sūtra)). Iṣṭa Hṛti is

that Iṣṭa Hṛti could not be got. So we will not be far
from truth in assuming the given Unnatakāla to be Iṣṭa
Hṛti itself ie. Taddhṛti here, as the Sun is on the prime-
vertical. The formula for Taddhṛti is
