9. EXACT FORMULAE OF THE ASTRONOMICAL
QUANTITIES
The defining relations of the sidereal year and constant of precession
used in Hindu cosmological time cycles may be manipulated algebraically
to yield statements of natural law in which the numbers seven and 366 are
prominent components. These formulae demonstrate the extreme economy of
numbers used in the construction of the cycles.
