Longer rule. Take time of true Méabs-sarinkranti by the Arya-Siddhanta from Table 1, Indian Calendar, adding 30 in odd A.D. years (Indian Chronography, Hint 20, p. 79). Add Arya-Siddhanta födhya (constant) 2 3 32" 30". This gives mean M. S. by A. S. Deduct time-differefice (Table 4, above) for interval of years from K. Y. O, and so find mean M. S. by Siddhanta-Siromari. Deduct Siddhanta-Siromapi födhya (Table B, col. 8). This gives the required true Mesha-sankranti time by Siddhanta-Siromani.
Work approximately, if this is considered sufficient, by whole minutos, ignoring seconds and decimalo.
Shorter rule. Take time of true Mosba-sankranti by the Arya-Siddhanta from Tablo 1, Indian Calendar. From this deduct the sum of the amounts for time-difference for interval of years (Table 4) and the difference given in col. 4, Table B.
For examples of work see Indian Chronography, p. 27, 8 62 H, where the system is shewn approximately in wholo minutes. It can be extended into seconds and decimals, if necesars.
(ii) The shift of the sun's apsis. The constant forward shift of the sun's line of apsides slightly affects the moment in each year when the true son reaches 0°, the moment of true Mosha
