About the Book
This edited text ‘Somasiddhanta’ contemporary with modern Suryasiddhanta consists of three thousand and thirty five verses. The text is presented in the form of a dialogue between Candra and Saunaka. It follows Suryasiddhanta and according to S.B. Dikshit, modern Pancashiddhantika replaces Paitamahasiddhanta and Pulisasiddhanta with Somasiddhanta and Brahmasiddhanta of Sakalyasamhita. In ten chapters, the text explains contemporary astronomical observation.
