पञ्चसिद्धान्तिका (आचार्य वराहमिहिर - सूर्य, रोमक, पौलिश, वासिष्ठ एवं पितामह सिद्धान्त)

XVI.6 XVII. SAURA : TRUE PLANETS 301 Note 1. I follow TS's emendations. Mandagatināmabhāgāḥ does not make any sense. But the meaning is obvious, it must mean apogee positions. Some drastic emendation of the word can be made to give this meaning, but I am against such as emendation. Note 2. These positions agree with those given in the Ārdharātrika-pakṣa etc., as also in the Āryabhaṭīya. The correct positions according to modern astronomy are 128°, 234°, 170°, 290°, and 244°, respectively. Note 3. The apogee 80° for Venus and the epicycle 14° are the same as given for Sun. The apogee position 80° given is near the perigee position of modern astronomy, so far away. We shall explain this under verses 10-11a, below. शीघ्रपरिधावंशाः ‘कृतगुणप(क्ष)’-‘द्विवह्निशीतकराः’ । ‘पक्षस्वरा’ (श्व खंषड्य माः)’ ‘खकृता’ श्वकुजादीनाम् ॥ ३ ॥ 3. The degrees of epicycles of conjunction of Mars is 234, of Mercury 132, of Jupiter 72, of Venus 260, and of Saturn 40. Note 1. I have generally adopted TS's corrections. But the text is corrupt in the third foot, and TS's correction itself wants one mātrā. I would read the third and fourth feet thus: pakṣasvarāś ca kham ṣaḍyamāḥ khakṛtāś ca kujādīnām. This would follow the original work. Note 2. The values agree with the Ārdharātrika-pakṣa, Khaṇḍakhādyaka, and Bhaṭṭotpala-quoted- Pauliśa group, as to be expected.
