== Sejarah awal ==

 

The [[cardinal directions]] are found in the ''[[Shulba Sutras|Śulbasūtra]]'' (1st millennium BCE), a treatise containing mathematical applications used for altar construction.<ref name=abraham08/> Mathematics and astronomical instruments were employed to calculate time after sunlight, daylight periods, computation of sunrise, computation of sunset, and general measurement of time. Ōhashi (1993) states that ''[[Jyotiṣa|{{IAST|Jyotiṣa Vedānga}}]]'' astronomy gained a foothold between the 6th and the 4th centuries BCE.The common era saw the presence of numerous ''Siddhāntas'', out of which the ''[[Surya Siddhanta|Surya-siddhānta]]'' was particularly notable.<ref name=Klostermaier03/> Both the ''[[Yavanajataka]]'' and ''[[Romaka Siddhanta|Romaka Siddhānta]]'' confirm that Indian and western astronomical sciences had been a part of a global scientific discourse (given in the [[Indian_astronomy#Global_discourse|section below]]).
