Some verses quoted by Utpala from the Samisasarfihia are almost the same as the verses of the Br. [...] The next verse makes the important statement that the PauliLasiddhanta is accurate the Romaka approaches it (in accuracy) that more accurate is the SUryasiddhanta while the other two (Vasistba and Paitdmaha) are far from the truth. [...] He avers that he will rely on the views of Vrddha-Garga on this point ; then follows the much discussed verse that the constellation of the seven sages was in the Maghas when Yudhisthira ruled the earth and that 2526 years added to the gakakala yield the number of years from Yuddhisthira to the time when a person wants to know how many years ago Yudhisthira flourished. [...] It is most remarkable that in some places Utpala quotes the verses of boti Vrddha-Garga and Garga on the same verse of the Br. [...] S. 24.2 Varaha states that he looked into the works of Garga Pardara IWyapa and Maya on the consequences of the conjunction of the moon with Rohini.
