Jyotisha (astronomy and astrology)

Source: Wikipedia: Jyotisha (astronomy)

Śiṣyadhī (शिष्यधी) refers to the “intellect of students”, as found in the name of the work Śiṣyadhīvṛddhida-tantra (lit. “treatise which expands the intellect of students”) [by Lalla— 720–790 CE]: One of the first major Sanskrit astronomical texts known from the period following the 7th-century works of Brahmagupta and Bhāskara I. It generally treats the same astronomical subject matter and demonstrates the same computational techniques as earlier authors, although there are some significant innovations, such that Lalla’s treatise offers a compromise between the rival astronomical schools of his predecessors, Āryabhaṭa I and Brahmagupta. It is within the Śiṣyadhīvṛddhidatantra that the earliest known description of perpetual motion is described.
