It has rules laid down to determine the true motions of the luminaries, which conform to their actual positions in the sky. It is not known who wrote the Surya Siddhanta or when it was first compiled, but the most common dates of the extant versions are usually around the 4th century.

  • The Surya Siddhanta is one of the earliest astronomical treatises of India, but the form in which it has come to us dates after circa 400. It has rules laid down to determine the true motions of the luminaries, which conform to their actual positions in the sky. It is not known who wrote the Surya Siddhanta or when it was first compiled, but the most common dates of the extant versions are usually around the 4th century. It gives the locations of several stars other than the lunar nakshatras. Later Indian mathematicians and astronomers such as Aryabhata made references to this text, while later Arabic and Latin translations were very influential in the Middle East and Europe.
