Surya-siddhanta (English spelling)

Japanese: スールヤ・シッダーンタ(英語表記)Sūrya‐siddhānta
Surya-siddhanta (English spelling)
A classical Indian astronomy text. Two books are known with the same title. One was written by Lāṭadeva, a disciple of āryabhata (476-?), based on the ārdharātrika school, but it remains only as a quotation by Bārāmihira. The other was written in the 8th or 9th century and its author is unknown, but it is a good combination of various schools of thought and is well organized, so it has become extremely popular. The term "Suryasiddhanta" usually refers to the latter.
