You’re flagging the claim:

“Āryabhaṭīya, Gītikā 1 (499 CE) fixes the Earth's eastward rotations per yuga at 1,582,237,500 against 4,320,000 solar revolutions — implying 1,577,917,500 civil days per yuga and a sidereal day of 86,164.10 seconds (23h 56m 4.10s). The modern value is 86,164.09 seconds: agreement to about 0.01 s. The verse also encodes the rotating-Earth doctrine numerically ("of the Earth eastward") — the parameter later tradition recast as revolutions of the stars. ”
