XVIII.18 | XVIII. VĀSIṢṬHA-PAULIŚA – RISING AND SETTING | 323 Motion of Saturn As already has been said, the treatment of Saturn is similar to that of Jupiter. So there will be little need for fresh explanations. 14. Regarding Saturn, 150-20 days are to be subtracted from the days from epoch. These being divided by 378, the remainder are the days from the rising gone, the quotient being the number of risings gone. 15. One tenth of the risings, (i.e., the quotient), in days, is to be subtracted from the remainder. The number of risings got is to be multiplied by 9, and divided out by 256. The remainder plus 89 padas form (the padas required for using in the computation). (The idea is that 89 is to be added to (quotient × 9), and then divided by 256, to find the padas for use). In (15), I have emended saṅguṇād and rudayāt into saṅguṇān and rudayān to agree with bhajet requiring accusatives; so also NP. But TS have kept them. In NP's emendation dinādyāptaṃ, āptaṃ does not agree with the word sthitā and, the meaning also is redundant. Both TS and NP have emended padaiḥ into pade, thinking that navāśītiḥ is degrees. Even this they doubt, as seen in the trans- lation, because as mentioned by them in Part II, page 124, it had led to disagreement. Padaiḥ, as it is, clearly, says that the 89 is padas. So is the 18 of Jupiter and the 85 of Mars. We understand from the instructions that the synodic revolution of Saturn takes 378'/10 days, that in one synodic revolution Saturn moves 9 padas, that 256 padas make nine sidereal revolutions of Saturn, that there are 256 + 9 = 265 sidereal revolutions of the sun in 256 synodic periods of Saturn, and that at 150-20 days from epoch, Saturn's mean longitude is 89 padas. (NP give in their translation, “89°?”, as mentioned already. Therefore, one sidereal revolution of Saturn takes 378'/ 10 × 256 ÷ 9 = 10754.84 days. One sid. revolution of the sun = 378'/10 × 256 ÷ 265 = 365-15-32. Again, the Sun's sid. period got is Pauliśa's. One pada = 360°/256 = 84' 22".5. The motion in one synodic revolution = 9 × 84' 22".5 = 12° 39' 22".5. Mean Saturn at 150-20 days after epoch = 89 × 84' 22".5 = 125° 9'.4.
