Chitra, Panca Siddhanta and Surya Siddhanta

[Guest guest]

Hello,

 

It is stated in the Introduction to the Surya Siddhanta, translated by

E. Burgess, pp.xxx-xxxi, that Varaha Mihira reported in his Panca

Siddhanta a polar position of the Junction Star Chitra to be 180:50,

while the Modern version of the Surya Siddhanta gives to the Star, a

position of 180:00. Can anyone, who has access to both treatises,

verify and confirm this statement?

 

Thank you.
