Tantrasangraha, composed by the renowned Kerala astronomer N
lakantha Somay j (c.1444-1545 AD) ranks along with ryabhat ya of
ryabhata and Siddh nta iromani of Bh skar c rya as one of the major
works which significantly influenced further work on astronomy in
India. One of the distinguishing features is the introduction of a
major revision of the traditional Indian planetary model. N
lakantha arrived at a unified theory of planetary latitudes and a
better formulation of the equation of centre for the interior
planets (Mercury and Venus) than was previously available.
In preparing the translation and explanatory notes, K.
Ramasubramanian and M. S. Sriram have used authentic Sanskrit
editions of Tantrasangraha by Surand Kunjan Pillai and K V Sarma.
All verses have been translated into English, which have been
supplemented with detailed explanations including all necessary
mathematical relations, illustrative examples, figures and tables
using modern mathematical notation.
