Indian Records of Eclipses:
Their Historical Matrix
B.V. Subbarayappa(Former President, IUHPS (DHS); e-mail: bidare25@gmail.com )(Paper presented at the International Workshop on Eclipse Records: Tokyo; Nov. 2014)

In India, mathematical or computational astronomy had its beginning around the fourth
century CE. The first authentic and concise text, called the Āryabhaṭīyam of Āryabhaṭa I (b.476
A.D.) appeared towards the close of the fifth century. Ever since, an appreciably large numberof texts, some of them being voluminous, came out from time to time till the middle of thenineteenth century over a span of nearly a thousand and four hundred years. Many of them,besides other astronomical aspects, deal with eclipses, both lunar and solar, in acomprehensive manner – cause of eclipse; duration of the eclipse; half duration; first and lastcontact of the eclipsed one; determination of the obscured portion of any time; possibility of an
eclipse; diagrammatic representation; path of the eclipsing body; parallax in longitude and its
application; likewise parallax in latitude; and also the conditions for the impossibility of theoccurrence of an eclipse in the context of the position of the sun and that of the node - all in ascientific manner.
Calendar – making was and has been even now, an important component of thecomputational methods given in most of these texts. Of the three types, namely the lunar, solar
and luni-solar with intercalation of an additional lunar month once in about three years, has its
place, while the first two are being used largely sill in different parts of India. The origin of
calendarical computation goes back to the Vedic period (c.1500-600 BCE); but it became acontinuous tradition with the reckoning of eras of which the Śālīvāhana Śaka (beginning with78 CE) and Vikram Samvat (from 56 BCE) have been popular. The computation of calendars
and their continuity coupled with the desires of the kings and chieftains to make grants, gifts,
donations and performance of other humanitarian deeds to the people under their governancefrom time to time on auspicious days as determined by the court-astronomers, were a strong
motivation for recording the dates with authenticity. In this milieu, the dates on which eclipses,
both solar and lunar, occurred received their due attention. In fact, the duration of an eclipse
was regarded as auspicious and it was believed that, if grants and philanthropic acts weremade during this period, the donor would accrue merit and enjoyment of happy future forhimself and his family. It would thus appear that the occurrence of an eclipse was not to be
dreaded or feared, but that it was regarded as the auspicious time for acquiring merits as one
would if a humanitarian deed was performed on other auspicious days. The following tableprovides a glimpse of the kind of grants, gifts and other noble deeds on the date of the eclipse,
as recorded in the inscriptions:Page 1 of 18

Prediction of eclipse

Indian astronomers were well-versed in predicting the occurrence of an eclipse. A
copper-plate grant (see below) in Sanskrit, its traditional almanac date being the full-moon dayof Kārttika 880 Kalachuri era) reveals the accurate forecast of a total lunar eclipse that
occurred on 1128 AD November 8. Giving the genealogy of the King of the time and also of theastronomer by name Padmanābha, this inscription records as follows:

Page 2 of 18

Inscription dated 880 of the Kalachuri era depicting the donation made by the King to an astronomer,
Padmanābha for his predicting exactly the occurrence of total lunar eclipse on the full-moon day of Kārttika monthof 880 of Kalachuri era (8 Nov, 1128)‘Padmanābha, son of Kalāchandra of Śrivatsa gotra and the pravara belonging to
Madhyadesha, was proficient in astronomy and knew two siddhāntas. In the presence of all
astronomers in the assembly of King Ratnadeva, he (Padmanābha) asserted that there would
be a total lunar eclipse when three quarters of the night had passed, and the Moon would be in
the nakṣatra Rohinī, on Thursday, the Pūrṇimā of (the lunar month) Kārttika in the year 880(Kalachuri)’. When the eclipse actually occurred at the predicted time, the King became
pleased and donated the village, Chinchatalai, to Padmanābha’.
The traditional date of Kārttika Pūrṇimā (Thursday) of Kalachuri era, 880, corresponds
to 8 November, 1128, on which night there was a total lunar eclipse, as confirmed by NASAtables.
Padmanābha, according to this inscription, knew two siddhāntas (texts on mathematicalastronomy). Some scholars opine that they were (i) the Sūryasiddhānta; and (ii) the
Brāhmasphuṭa Siddhānta of Brahmagupta. However, it is likely that he would have been also
well versed in Śripati’s Siddhāntaśekhara (11th cent.) which, unlike any other Siddhānta, has achapter titled Rāhunirṇaya, regarding the ascending node which plays a role in our
understanding of the occurrence of an eclipse. The foregoing inscription reveals thesoundness of Indian mathematical astronomy in respect of the prediction of the occurrence ofan eclipse.
Eclipse Records
The records of eclipses are principally of two kinds: (1) literary or texts on astronomy;and (ii) inscriptions which include copper-plate grants. In the first, however, such records are
few and far between, the number of recorded eclipses both solar and lunar, being only 21 insix texts. Even among them, only one (15th century) has a record of 13 (7 solar and 6 lunar)
eclipses, while the other five works discuss an eclipse as an example. The records of eclipses
in the literary works are as follows:

Inscriptions
The inscriptions on stone slabs, walls, pillars and copper- plates (which are also called
copper-plate grants) have been indeed impressive sources as records of eclipses which
occurred from the fifth century CE to the middle of the nineteenth century. As many as over
1,00,000 inscriptions which are in Sanskrit and other regional languages have beencatalogued over the past 130 years, and their impressions or photographic reproductions havebeen preserved in the Department of Epigraphy of the Archaeological Survey of India (inMysuru in South India). Of them, about 40,000 inscriptions have been studied and published in
the Annual Reports of the Department of Epigraphy; Epigraphia Indica, South Indian
Inscriptions, Epigraphia Carnatika; Corpus Inscriptionum Indicarum and other publications (seeBibliography at the end).
The earliest inscriptions belong to the third century BCE; but no record of eclipses has
been found in them, nor in those up to the fourth century CE. It is only from the fifth century
A.D. onwards till the middle of the nineteenth century that an appreciable number of
inscriptions have recorded eclipses with dates. The life-line of any record or inscription is its
recognizable date. The progress of mathematical astronomy in India laid solid foundation forthe determination as well as recording precise dates in relation to the chosen era. More
importantly as noted before, Indian astronomers were able to predict the exact date of theoccurrence as well as the type of eclipse, thus confirming the soundness of Indianmathematical astronomy.
Apart from the dynastic eulogy and genealogical presentation which constitute a major
portion of an inscription, some details of grants or gifts have been mentioned along with thedate (day, month and year of an era) on which such grants or donations were made. In respectof inscriptions which have recorded eclipses, the date of the occurrence of eclipse has been
mentioned along with the nature of the eclipse, either solar or lunar. There is also an indication,
but rarely, as to whether the eclipse is partial or total (in the case of solar eclipse whether it isannular or hybrid). Likewise, the name of the week-day as well as the asterism of the lunar
zodiac associated with that day, has also been mentioned in some cases, but not always. As
for the dates, those of lunar calendar are more in usage than the solar one; and among theeras, the Śalīvāhana Śaka (78 CE) has been used extensively, the Vikram Samvat (56 BC)
and a few others like Chedi or Kalachuri, Chalukya and Kali being adopted now and then.
The results of the present studies relate to about 13,000 published inscriptions (from thefifth century CE to the middle of the nineteenth century). It is desirable, indeed necessary, thatfurther studies are undertaken in order to bring to light the extensive records of eclipses inIndian inscriptions. The following are the results of the studies made so far:
Literary sources
Total number of records of eclipses: 21
One eclipse in two texts; 3 do not tally with NASA dates;
4 have been recorded in inscriptions. Thus 13 (Solar - 7; Lunar - 6)
new eclipses have been recorded in the texts
Number of eclipses the traditional dates of which, when converted to Julian / Gregorian dates,
are identical with the NASA dates
Inscriptions – 403 (195 solar and 208 lunar)
Textual -13 (Solar 7 and Lunar 6)
Total number of recorded eclipses 416

Number of eclipses the dates of which vary with those of NASA
About 200 (Solar and Lunar)
The relevant details about the eclipses, the dates of which are in full agreement with thecorresponding NASA dates have been presented in the form of Tables (see pp.13 to 32).
As regards the record of about 200 eclipses, the dates of which do not agree with those ofNASA, further studies are needed to determine (i) to what extent some of them are due toscribal error; (ii) the possible wrong conversion of Indian traditional dates into Julian/Gregoriandates in respect of several others; and (iii) whether the traditional dates correspond to those on
which the inscriptions were actually made after the eclipse had taken place, since some of theinscriptions state clearly that that it was on account of an eclipse that occurred, the donations
and gifts were offered. In any case, there is no gainsaying that in India there was a continuous
tradition of recording eclipses, both solar and lunar, from about the fifth century CE which wasengendered by an active and purposeful pursuit of mathematical or computational astronomy.
