[edit] Classical Texts

These are lists by a crank, mixing legitimate texts with what looks like classic traditional list-padding for extra gravity. I can't find many of the names in Pingree's survey (Jyotiḥśāstra in J. Gonda (Ed.), A History of Indian Literature). And all the names have been Hindi-fied. The good news is that we have a WP:RS, the bad news is that the lists will have to be thoroughly revised. rudra (talk) 04:35, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Quotable quote
