(Redirected from Lagadha)
The '''Vedanga Jyotisha''', is an Indian text on Jyotisha (Hindu astronomy), redacted by 'Lagadha' (लगध).
The text is foundational to the Jyotisha discipline of Vedanga, and is dated to the final centuries BCE.[1] The text describes rules for tracking the motions of the sun and the moon. In the Vedanga Jyotisha Lagadha praises astronomy as the crowning subject in the ancillary Vedic studies.
The Vedanga Jyotisha is available in three recensions: those of Yajurveda, Rigveda, and Atharvaveda, which contain many similar passages but exhibit marked differences as well.
