Description
• This important work addresses the challenges faced in editing and interpreting the ancient Sanskrit astronomical text Panchasiddhantika by Varah Mihira, based on two original manuscripts.
• The absence of an available commentary posed significant difficulties, as Sanskrit astronomical texts often require detailed explanations, especially when describing complex mathematical processes.
• The commentary published in this volume is an original composition by M.S. Dvivedi, designed to assist both European scholars and Indian Pandits by offering full demonstrations in the traditional Hindu scholarly style.
• The right-hand columns display the emended text, while the left-hand columns present the manuscript version in full for comparison.
• Detailed remarks about the manuscripts and the method of emendation are provided at the end of the introduction.
• The two rare manuscripts were discovered by Prof. G. Buehler during his search for Sanskrit manuscripts in parts of the then Bombay Presidency.
