After carefully observing the rise of the Sun’s orb up to the half, or the setting of the same, the instrument (i.e. the bowl) should be placed in a basin filled with water [i.e., jalapūrṇa]. The bowl is so made that its height is equal to six aṅgulas, and the circular opening is twelve aṅgulas in diameter”.
Jyotisha (ज्योतिष, jyotiṣa or jyotish) refers to ‘astronomy’ or “Vedic astrology” and represents the fifth of the six Vedangas (additional sciences to be studied along with the Vedas). Jyotisha concerns itself with the study and prediction of the movements of celestial bodies, in order to calculate the auspicious time for rituals and ceremonies.
