In Hinduism
Jyotisha (astronomy and astrology)
Source: Wikipedia: Jyotisha (astronomy)Śiṣyadhīvṛddhida (शिष्यधीवृद्धिद) or Śiṣyadhīvṛddhidatantra (lit. “treatise which expands the intellect of students”) [by Lalla— 720–790 CE] is 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.
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.
