An Indian Ephemeris A.D. 700 to A.D. 1799: Showing the Daily Solar and Lunar Reckoning According to the Principal Systems Current in India with Their English Equivalents, Also the Ending Moments of Tithis and Nakshatras, the Years In Different Eras A.D. Hijra, Saka, Vikrama, Kaliyuga Kollam Etc;. Tables For Ascertaining Local Time And Tables Of Hindu Fasts, Feasts, And Festivals And Solar And Lunar Eclipses.

HIS volume contains, besides the Ephemeris proper for the years A.D. 700 to THIS A.D. 799, (1) a full explanation of the method employed in the compilation of the entire Ephemeris, pages 1-33; and (2) copious illustrations from Indian Chronology, chiefly from the chronology of South India, of the manner in which the Ephemeris is ordinarily intended to be employed in the verification of Indian dates and the investigation of various date problems.

The first section of this part, called the "Method of the Ephemeris," will show how in practice certain cycles of recurrence of tithis and nakshatras and their equa tions can be applied to the construction of an Ephemeris such as is required for an Indian panchanga for any number of years. The advantages claimed for this method are accuracy, expedition and extreme simplicity. Nothing more need be said here by way of introduction to the method, because pages 1 to 3 of this volume contain a full description of the method together with a specimen Ephe meris as originally prepared for the last 79 days of the Indian solar year A.D. 699-700.
