The period of the compilation of the Māhasiddhānta of Āryabhata II. (English) Zbl 0867.01004

The purpose of this paper is to study the circumstantial evidences furnished as well as a comparison of Āryabhaṭa II’s work with those of the other scholars of known time and place and pleads for accepting the usual date, i.e. 950 A.D. as more correct. Actually the authors discarded Roger Billard’s opinion who place Āryabhaṭa II’s date in 1512 A.D.
