In other words to obtain the Bhuja rectified for
parallax in longitude, we have to multiply the mean Bhuja
by the Sthiti-khanda rectified for parallax and divide by
the Mean Sthiti-khanda. Similarly to obtain the Sthiti-
khanda rectified for the variation in latitude also, take
the Sthiti khanda rectified for parallax as the mean and
that rectified for variation in β as the True and then by
the same procedure, Bhuja rectified for parallax in latitude
will be equal to Sthiti-khanda rectified for parallax in
latitude multiplied by the Bhuja rectified for parallax in
longitude divided by the Sthiti-khanda rectified for parallax
in longitude Bhāskara gives the names Sphuta Sthiti-
khanda and Sphuta Saraja Sthiti-khanda to the Sthiti-
khanda rectified for parallax in longitude and that rectified
further for parallax in latitude. The proof adduced above
accords with the statements of Brahmagupta, Śrīpati and
Bhāskara ; Ranganātha bearing in mind Bhāskara's
version puts a correct interpretation on verse 19, Lunar
eclipses of Sūryasiddhānta. But the usage of the words
Madhya and Sphuta in that verse, misled the modern
traditional scholars including Burgess. If is to be men-
tioned here that the word Koti translated as perpendicular
by Burgess is misinterpreted by him (see his commentary
under verse 19, lunar eclipses) as ‘ The perpendicular is
furnished us in time and the rule supposes it to be stated
in the form of the interval between the given moment and
that of contact or separation’. This translation goes
against the definition of Koti contained in verse 18 just
above, since the Koti of Sūryasiddhānta is the Bhuja of
Bhāskara and vice versa.
We shall now see why there arose confusion in the
minds of many modern commentators including Burgess.
The problem mooted by the Sūryasiddhānta in calling for
a rectification of the Koti, is to be noted as that when the
grāsa g is given and not the Iṣtakāla I. The two formulae
