[Surya Prajnapti Sutra]
How many lunar mandalas does the moon traverse in an adhimasa (intercalary month)? There are 573 adhimasas in a Yuga. As stated in the Muhurta Parva of an adhimasa, there are 95937 Muhurtas in a month. 959462 + 17 - 51675 Muhurtas in a Yuga = 1830430 - 54900 Muhurtas. These should be divided into 62 parts. 54900 / 62 = 3403800 parts. 59475 / 62 Muhurtas make up one adhimasa. How many months will there be in 54900 Muhurtas? 54900 / 62 = 3403800.
59475 / 59475 = 57.3 (The remainder is 4775).
57 x 13725 = 57 adhimasas = 3/13 parts.
The moon traverses 884 lunar mandalas in 57 adhimasas. So, how many lunar mandalas will it traverse in one adhimasa? 57.3 = 744/13. How many lunar mandalas will the moon traverse in 744/13 adhimasas?
884 / 13 = 11492.15
744
744
185
15 lunar mandalas. 83/186 parts.
How many lunar mandalas does the sun traverse in an adhimasa?
There are 744/13 adhimasas in a Yuga, and the sun traverses 915 solar mandalas in them. So, how many solar mandalas will the sun traverse in one adhimasa?
915 / 13 = 11895.15245
744
= 744 - 15248
