Abstract
K. Madhava Krishna Kumar Śarma of the Adyar Library published (1940) the “reconstructed” Sanskrit text of a calendrical work of Indian astronomy under the title: the Rājamṛgāṅka of Bhoja. The published text comprises two chapters: (1) Madhyamādhikāra, dealing with the mean motion of the planets in 34 stanzas, and (2) Spaṣṭādhikāra, dealing with the true motion of the planets in 52 stanzas. There are two additional stanzas bearing the name of the astronomer Rāma appended after the second chapter which for obvious reason do not form part of the text. The text is followed by three astronomical tables.
