Narada Purana — Purva Bhaga, Shloka 96

Jyotiṣa-śāstra Saṅgraha: Threefold Division, Gaṇita Methods, Muhūrta, and Planetary Reckoning

Devanagari script

समेति गम्याद्वाहुदज्या कोटिज्यानुगता भवेत् । लिप्तास्तत्त्वयमैर्भक्ता लब्धज्यापिंडकं गतम् ॥ ९६ ॥

Transliteration

sameti gamyādvāhudajyā koṭijyānugatā bhavet | liptāstattvayamairbhaktā labdhajyāpiṃḍakaṃ gatam || 96 ||

Translation

When the “gamyā” is obtained, the arm-like “bhujajyā” (sine) becomes consistent with the “koṭijyā” (cosine). Dividing by the prescribed true measures and expressing it in minutes (liptāḥ), one arrives at the resulting aggregate (piṇḍa) of the jyā that has been obtained.

FAQs

It highlights śāstric exactness—using true measures and careful computation—showing that disciplined knowledge (vidyā) supports dharma and steadiness of mind, which are foundational to Mokṣa-oriented living.

Indirectly: by stressing correct measures and verified results, it mirrors bhakti’s insistence on steadiness and fidelity—devotion becomes effective when aligned with śāstra, just as jyā aligns with koṭijyā through proper method.

Jyotiṣa (Vedāṅga astronomy/astrology) and gaṇita: the use of jyā (sine), koṭijyā (cosine), and conversion into liptā (minutes) via standard divisors to obtain a final computed value.
