The Âryabhatîya
Excerpt from The Âryabhatîya
Though the reading followed by the author of the Prakacika is erroneous, both from an astronomical and grammatical point of view, it can not be denied that the error was one of long standing. For we know by Bhaskara's severe criticisms that Lalla, the author of the dhivrddhida-tantra, had fallen into the same error. Now Lalla is more than once called a disciple of Aryabhata, and whether this statement be rigidly correct or not, he certainly was a contemporaneous writer, for he uses the same epoch with the latter, as may be seen p. 58 of this edition.'
