“Surya-Siddhanta I.29-34 (~5th c. CE) gives the revolutions of each celestial body in one mahayuga (4,320,000 years). The sidereal year derives by arithmetic: (asterism revolutions − sun revolutions) / sun revolutions = (1,582,237,828 − 4,320,000) / 4,320,000 ≈ 365.2587 civil days per year. Modern sidereal year: 365.25636 days. The text is 3.5 minutes / ~7 parts per million long, pre-telescopic. Ptolemy's Almagest (~150 CE) gives 365.2467 — off by ~14 minutes. ”
