"This is an extremely well-written and useful book. Thanks to its systematic approach and the very readable introductory chapter it has to offer something for every reader interested in one of the numerous aspects of Sanskrit mathematical astronomy." (Benno van Dalen, zbMATH 1459.01001, 2021)
"The book is rich in various technical details from mathematical astronomy that serious students and researchers would benefit from. There is nevertheless a good deal of material that would be accessible to a wider class of readers. ... The book under review will no doubt inspire further studies on the topic, serving in particular as a source of technical support for them, and thereby expand the horizons of thetopic." (S. G. Dani, Mathematical Reviews, April, 2020)
"The authors and the publisher are to be congratulated for bringing to the market and our reference shelves a thorough, well-organized, deeply-researched, and beautifully presented book. ... I am by no means qualified to comment on the particulars of the authors' analyses of the manuscripts they examined. I can say that I enjoyed reading the book and that it broadened my thinking about what mathematics is and what mathematicians do." (Scott Guthery, MAA Reviews, August 24, 2019)
