Eclipses Of The Moon In India PDF Download

Excerpt from Eclipses of the Moon in India The' name given to the month in question by the Hindus necessarily varies with their diversity of practice (prior to about 1100 ad.) in the interpolation of a month in intercalary years, some using the true and some the mean system; and this difference of name is shewn by a double entry in C01. 2. In such case the earlier entry refers throughout to the true system, the later to the mean system, and to this is prefixed the letters w. M. I. I.e. With mean intercalations. When the month in which the eclipse occurs bears the' name -of an intercalated month, so that there are in that year two months having the same name, I have distinguished them by numbers, at the suggestion of Professor Kielhorn. Such a system is safer than entering a name; in view of the difference in the nomenclature adopted at different times and in different tracts. For the magnitude of the eclipse (col. 8)i adopt the Canon figures, with the sole exception that I have not thought it necessary to record magnitudes higher than total. For these last, the letter t suffices. A note on the page of Table E. Containing the entry for ad. 1582 explains fully the Old and New Style of ad. Reckoning, and shews why, between AD 1582 and 1752.
