Abstract
Though the title of this short chapter is candra-śṛṅgonnati or ‘Elevation of the Moon’s Cusps’, it is exclusively devoted to the computation of the distance between the centres of the lunar and solar discs (bimbāntara). The bimbāntara of course figures prominently in the computations of the Moon’s phase and the elevation of its cusps, but these are not discussed in the Text as available.
