ABSTRACT

If we know the number of cycles of the planets in a kalpa or caturyuga, and further know how many cycles have elapsed at a certain moment of time, we also know that the sum-total of the days of the kalpa or caturyuga stands in the same relation to the sum-total of the cycles as the past days of the kalpa or caturyuga to the corresponding amount of planetary cycles. The most generally used method is this:—

Genaral method for the determination of the mean place of a planet at any given time.
