Jyotisha (astronomy and astrology)

Source: academia.edu: Tessitori Collection I (astronomy)

Svodaya (स्वोदय) refers to the “oblique ascensions or rising times at one’s own latitude”, according to the Karaṇakutūhala by Bhāskara (classified as literature dealing with astronomy, astrology, divination, medicine) of which a commentary is included in the collection of manuscripts at the ‘Vincenzo Joppi’ library, collected by Luigi Pio Tessitori during his visit to Rajasthan between 1914 and 1919.—According to prof. S.R. Sarma: “The manuscript of the Karaṇakutūhala starts with the enumeration of the laṅkodayas (right ascensions or the rising times of the zodiac signs at laṅkā, the terrestrial equator) and teaches how to compute from the svodayas (oblique ascensions or rising times at one’s own latitude). A table at the top on 1v displays the two sets of parameters. These parameters are given in palas (= 1/60th part of ghaṭī). The oblique ascensions in the bottom row of the table on 1v are obtained by subtracting or adding the ascensional differences (carakhaṇḍas) in the middle row from/to the right ascensions in the upper row” (S.R. Sarma).

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
