160 The answer is (H sin m × 2°-10'-31") / 120 = (2 21/120°) / 120 × H sin m very approximately = 261 / 14400 H sin m = 20 / 1103 H sin m Similarly in the case of the Moon, the maximum equation of centre is 5°-2'-8". By the same argument as above we have (H sin m × 1133) / (225 × 120) = (H sin m × 20) / (54000 / 1133) = (H sin m × 20) / 477 Verse 31. Rectification of the mean daily motion of the Sun and the Moon. The H cosine of the mean anomaly divided by 54 in the case of the Sun and in the case of the Moon multiplied by 4 and divided by 7 gives the increment or decrement in the respective mean motions according as 90 < m < 270 or 270 < m < 360 + 90. Comm. We have Equation of centre = r / R H sin m = E (say) so that differentiating δE = r / R H cosm δm / R . But r / R H cosm is called kotiphala and δm is called Kendra gati so that δE = Kotiphala × Kendragati / R . Since Koti- phala is negative when 90 < m < 270 δE is negative but in Hindu Astronomy we measure the Kendra not from perigee as in modern astronomy but from aphelion so that the equ- ation of centre is strictly - r / R H sin m if sign is also taken into consideration. Hence δE must be + ve. Since M + E = S where M is the mean planet, E the equation of centre and S the true planet δS=δm+δE so that the true motion is equal to the mean motion plus δE. As δE is +ve when 90 < m < 270 as mentioned above we have to add this to the mean motion to get the true motion. This δE
