At this time the sun turned to the North when it entered the constellation Dhanisthd Now it is an undiputed fact that the sun was in the kestha on the a thaväsyd of the Kartika according to the calender of those days. [...] 207 of his book he says :11 " That the constellation of the moon and the day of the turning of the sun given in the Mahcibhärata were arrived at by the wrong process in vogue in those days." In para 113 of his book he writes : " Now in the days of war (minus 1695-198 B. C.) the equinox was 90° to the East of Dhanishtha and the sun turned to the North when it entered the constallation Dhanishtha [...] The table in the appendix A gives the longitudes for the beginnings and the ends of all naksatras (of the system of 28 as well as of that of the 27 naksatras).
