Description
Vedangas are six auxiliary disciplines of the Vedas that were developed in ancient times as the help book for the study of the Veda. There are six Vedangas. Here is the Vedanga Jyotisa (Mathematical Astronomy) that was developed as a technique of time calculation to know the timings of various figurative Srauta yajnas representing various aspects of creation and grhya yajnas. 4 Like the crest of peacock and the gems of cobras stand atop their head/hood, so does the mathematical astronomy stand atop all Vedanga Sastras
