%X A set of tables devoted to the sun and the moon, titled the Candr¨¡rk¨© (¡°Related to the moon and sun¡±), was compiled in Sanskrit by Indian astronomer Dinakara along with a short accompanying text, intended to give guidance on how to construct a calendar (pa£¿c¨¡£¿ga) for any desired year and geographical circumstances. The epoch of this table-text is 9 April 1578. We present here an edition of the text, a literal translation, and detailed technical commentary
