Source: Springer Link: Biographical Encyclopedia of Astronomers

Śiṣyadhīvṛddhidatantra (शिष्यधीवृद्धिदतन्त्र) (“treatise for increasing the intelligence of students”) is one of the first major Sanskrit astronomical treatises known from the period following the seventh-century works of Brahmagupta and Bhāskara I. It generally treats the same astronomical subject matter and demonstrates the same computational techniques as earlier authors, although there are some significant innovations. Lalla’s treatise [the Śiṣyadhīvṛddhidatantra] offers a partial compromise between the rival astronomical schools of his predecessors, Āryabhaṭa I and Brahmagupta. Lalla is avowedly a follower of the former, but combines parameters and techniques from both.

context information

Jyotisha (ज्योतिष, jyotiṣa or jyotish) refers to ‘astronomy’ or “Vedic astrology” and represents the fifth of the six Vedangas (additional sciences to be studied along with the Vedas). Jyotisha concerns itself with the study and prediction of the movements of celestial bodies, in order to calculate the auspicious time for rituals and ceremonies.
