________________ APPENDIX 'B' 195 we quote the following verses from Siddhanta Siromani of Sri Bhaskaracārya. लंकाकमध्ये यमकोटिरस्याः प्राक् पश्चिमे रोमकपत्तनं च। अधस्ततः सिद्धपुर समेरुः सौम्येऽस्थ याम्ये बडवानलश्च ।। लंकापुरेऽर्कस्य यदोदयः स्यात्तदा दिनार्ध यमकोटिपुर्याम् । अधस्तदा सिद्धप्रेऽस्तकालः स्याद्रोमके रात्रिदलं तदैव ।। (१, २) (Lanka is situated in the centre of the Earth, to the east of Pattana in the west. Siddhapura is situated in the antipodes and Sumeru in the north. At the time of sunrise in Lanka, it is noon in Yamakoti, sunset in Siddhapura and midnight in Romaka Pattana). ००
