| Abstract: | Sarvasiddhāntarāja (1639 CE) is an astronomical treatise composed by Nityānanda. Almost all texts on Indian astronomy provide the coordinates of 27 stars, which are known as junction stars. However, Sarvasiddhāntarāja is one of the rare texts which gives coordinates of 84 stars along with other parameters associated with them. Nityānanda describes this topic in great detail systematically in over 52 verses. In this paper, we provide a critical edition of these verses along with their translation. We have also compiled a list of all star names found in the text along with the parameters associated with them, and presented them in a tabular form. |
