Page No: 83-96
Abstract
We will be presenting briefly the procedure of determining the mean and true positions of the Sun, the Moon and the tÀrÀgrahas (planets) according to KaraõakutÂhala of BhÀskara II. We work out the true planetary positions for a contemporary date of BhÀskara’s period and compare the results with those of a couple of other traditional texts and modern procedures for validation of BhÀskara’s procedures and parameters.
