Abstract
In “A case for Revising the Date of Vedāṅga Jyotiṣa” Narahari Achar (Indian J Hist Sci 35(3):173–183, 2000) has proposed a date of 1800BCE for the composition of Vedāṅga Jyotiṣa and the star δ Cap as yogatārā of nakṣatra Śraviṣṭhā. The study presented here demonstrates that neither a unique epoch of Vedāṅga Jyotiṣa nor a unique yogatārā of nakṣatra Śraviṣṭhā can be determined with the criteria proposed by Narahari Achar. Moreover, the proposed yogatārā does not satisfy the configuration of celestial objects at the start of a yuga described in Vedāṅga Jyotiṣa.
